Prof. E. Forbes on Fossil Invertebrata from Southern India. 135 



Shell very smooth, but impressed near the shallow suture of the nearly flat 

 whorls with two obscure striae ; body-whorl ovate, whorls of spire rather broad and 

 very gradually diminishing. Though the mouth is broken this fossil is evidently 

 an Eulima, and approaches nearly some existing species. 



Locality, Pondicherry. 



Genus Tornatella, Lamarck. 



1. Tornatella labiosa, sp. nov. PI. XII. fig. 24. 



T. test& ovato-oblongA, spird exserta, anfractibus convexiusculis (ultimo subinflato), spiraliter 

 sulcatis, sulcis numerosis, longitudinaliter striatis, interstitiis laevibus ; aperture lato-lanceolata, 

 labro interno calloso, externo subincrassato, striate. 



Length Oii inch. Breadth 0^^ inch. 



Shell ovate, the whorls rather flattened, yet the last swelling out at its lower 

 part so as to appear inflated. The spire is prominent and formed of five or six 

 whorls. All the whorls are deeply sulcated spirally. The sulcations are strongly 

 striated longitudinally. The interspaces are smooth and as broad as the furrows. 

 The mouth is lanceolate, broad below and somewhat lunate. The pillar-lip is 

 callous above and partially striated. The cast is smooth. 



Locality, Pondicherry. 



2. Tornatella curculio, sp. nov. PI, XII. fig. 25. 



T. testa cylindrica, spir^ brevi, anfractibus 6, planatis, spiraliter sulcatis, sulcis numerosis, 

 longitudinaliter striatis, interstitiis angustioribus ; suturis profundis ; apertura ? 

 Length Oy% inch. Breadth 0^ inch. 



A cylindrical shell, the whorls very flat, suddenly bending in to the deep suture, 

 all deeply striated or sulcated spirally, the sulcations marked by numerous fine 

 longitudinal strise, which do not cross the somewhat broader interspaces. None 

 of our specimens show the mouth. 



Locality, Pondicherry. 



3. Tornatella semen, sp. nov. PI. XV. fig. 2, a, b, c. 



T. test^ ovat&, tumida, polita, spira prominenti, acuta, anfractibus 5, convexis, spiraliter punc- 

 tato-striatis, striis longitudinalibus distantibus leviter decussatis ; columella contorta, biplicat^. 

 Length 0/^ inch. Breadth Oy^^ inch. 



Shell ovate, with a prominent but rapidly decreasing spire. The surface is 

 finely striated spirally, the striations punctate. At first glance it seems smooth and 

 polished. The body-whorl is very tumid. The mouth is concealed by rock in 

 the only perfect specimen in the collection ; but there is a fragment which shows 

 a contorted pillar-lip with two strong folds, the uppermost largest. 



Locality, Trinchinopoly.
