Habitat apud Darjeeling. 



This species is easily distinguished from its local associate G. 

 tenuispira, Bens., by its thickness and opacity, and by the character 

 of the surface, which has none of the vitreous lustre so characteris- 

 tic of most species of the genus. The upper whorls are generally 

 much eroded ; the lower, which retain the epidermis, are of a dark 

 straw colour with darker oblique bands at intervals, apparently 

 marking stages of growth. Under a lens very fine dark spiral 

 lines are also perceptible. 



I received several specimens of this shell in 1863 from Mr. W. 

 S. Atkinson, but it has not hitherto been described. It appears to 

 be a rare species. Dr. Stoliczka only got two specimens in forest 

 at the waterfall about 1000 feet below Darjeeling. 



Glessula baculina, nov. sp. PI. II. fig. 6. 



Testa elongato-turrita, gracilis, tenuiscula, oblique striata, fus- 

 co vel fulvo cornea, epidermide nitescente induta. Spira turrita, 

 apice obtusulo. Anfractus 13£, parum convexi ; inferiores sub* 

 eequales ; sutura impressa, minute denticulata. Apertura obliqua, 

 ovato-triangularis ; peristoma simplex, acutum. Columella abrupte 

 arcuata, oblique producta, ad basin verticaliter truncata.
