subquadrilateral, with a much thickened white peristome ; columella broad- 

 ly reflected, thickened, white, curved, forming an acute tooth, with a well 

 developed incised notch at its base. 



Long. 7, diam. 3 mil. 



Hab. — Ponsee (type) ; also from near Bhamo. This species closely 

 resembles Glessula peguensis, Blanford, but is less convex, that is, more 

 slender, and of thicker texture ; it can also be easily distinguished by the 

 characteristic, crowded, well-developed, nearly perpendicular, longitudinal 

 striation, varying slightly in direction on each whorl, much as in many 

 species of Pomatias. The columella also is peculiar.

Stenogyea (Glessttla) bollampattiana, Beddome. 

 Con. Indica, PI. CLVI, fig. 1, as " Achatina bottampotana," Beddome, MS. 

 Long. 25|, diam. 10 mil. ; whorls 7, of unusually solid substance. 

 I am much indebted to Colonel Beddome for typical specimens of this 

 very distinct and rare species, also for kindly informing me that it is found 

 on the Bollampatty Hill, near Coimbatore at 7000', and that the name 

 should be spelt as I have now given it, Mr. Hanley having misread the 

 original label. 



Balea doheniana, n. sp. 



Shell of seven gradated, cylindrical whorls, increasing very gradually, 

 the last one proportionately very short, apex obtuse ; brown, irregularly and 

 indistinctly mottled with blue ; almost smooth, the somewhat irregular, 

 rugose striae being nearly obsolete, even under a lens, except immediately 

 behind the peristome ; aperture markedly everted, as broad as high, 

 chestnut-brown within ; peristome broadly reflected, white, thickened, regu- 

 larly rounded below, columella broad, nearly straight, margins of aperture 

 joined with a distint callosity, no parietal tooth. Long. 10|-, diam. 3£ mil. 



Hab. — Peru. 



The only other species I know of from Peru, or indeed from South 

 America, is the B. peruviana of Philippi, which, however, has 8 to 9 whorls 

 and measures long. 13 to 14, diam. 3 mil. ; I have named this interesting 

 form, for which I am indebted to my friend Mons. P. Joly of Algiers, in 

 honour of Dr. Henry Dohrn of Stettin. There are several very interesting 

 new forms of Clausilia obtained by the same collector, in Mons. Joly's collec- 

 tion. 



Type, Indian Museum, Calcutta ; also in coll. Joly and Dohrn.
