This is the only indigenous Indian Achatina with which I am ac- 
quainted, possessing coloured markings. In form it approaches some 
of the Ceylon Achatine, and also an undescribed Deccan species. 
11. Butimus trurta, n. s. 
Shell perforated, conically ovate, thin, finely striated, light yellowish, 
with two spiral rows of sub-distant chesnut spots, sub-quadrate in 
form, on all the whorls, and two spiral chesnut stripes, the lower 
sometimes very faint, upon the last whorl below the periphery. Spire 
conical, apex acute, sutures impressed. Whorls 55, convex. Aper- 
ture nearly oval, slightly oblique. Peristome thin, margins united by 
a thin callus, columellar margin vertical, narrowly reflexed, the reflexed 
portion meeting the penultimate whorl at an angle.

There is some doubt whether the shells above described be adult. 
They have a somewhat immature appearance, but all the specimens 
sent, four in number, are of precisely the same size, and the thin 
peristome is characteristic of the group of Bulimus Bengalensis, to 
which the present species belongs. From that species and its allies, it 
s easily distinguished by its short conical form.
