I have already remarked, under the preceding species, regarding the 

 confusion of this species with Reeve's St. nilagirica ; I have given copies 

 of Di\ Pfeiffer's two original figures ; he describes the sculpture as " ad 

 suturam striati." The specimens from - Neddoowutton in the Nilgiris, 

 recorded in my Handlist, are the only ones I have seen of this species and 

 they are unfortunately in bad condition.

I have thought it desirable also to give copies of the original figures 

 of this species, as the one given in the Con. Indica is quite unrecognizable. 

 Besides, Dr. Pfeiffer's figures seem to me to show only 1\ whorls, whereas 

 he describes it as having 8|, he also speaks of the suture as being 

 " confer tim dent icwl at a." The Museum specimens from Kotagherry have 

 only 7 whorls — long. 17, diam. 6 mil. ; I have lately also received from 

 Colonel Beddome five specimens from the Sispara Ghat, three of these 

 agree well with type figures, the other two are a slight variety with rather 

 more convexly rounded whorls.

 Ann. Mag. 1860, Nilgiris, anfr. 7^, long. 18, diam. 8 mil. for Achatina pcrotteti 

 of Reeve, fig. 102 (not of Pfr.). 



The only specimens in the Museum that I can consider as referable to 

 this species are three from the Pulney Hills — anfr. 9 ; long. 18, diam. 7f 

 mil. In sculpture they agree with Benson's description, " irregulariter 

 strialula" &c. ; anfr. ult. " antice Jeviter remote plicato-striato" Mr. 

 Hanley himself points out that his representation of this species in the 

 Con. Indica is not an accurate one. 



Stenogyea (Glessula) oeophila, Benson, MS. PI. V, Fig. 19 (Copy). 

 Reeve, Conch. Icon. 1850, fig. 105, anfr. 7, long. 14 mil., as Achatina orophila, 

 Nilgiris and Colombo ; fide Pfr. = his A. ceylanica. 



I give a copy of Reeve's original magnified figure of his A. oropliila, 

 as I am by no means convinced Dr. Pfeiffer is right in uniting it to his 

 A. ceylanica ; to judge from the figures, I should say they were quite dis* 

 tinct species. It may be that Reeve confused two distinct forms, the one
