./. The newly-born young of h in alcohol : eyes closed ; ear 

 of right side imperforate, that of the left side widely open, 

 the conch being folded down on both sides. The muscular 

 mantle covering the dorsum has a thickened margin, corre- 

 sponding to the downward distribution of the spines. The 

 spines are prolonged'forwards nearly in the same line with the 

 eye. On the middle of the forehead there is a narrow area 

 extending a short way backwards, perfectly free of spines. A 

 few short spines occur behind this area on the vertex, but from 

 the nape of the neck backwards to near the posterior end of the 

 mantle there is a continuous, rather broad, linear bare space. 

 The spines are of two kinds, coloured and uncoloured, and the 

 latter are the larger, and doubtless become replaced by coloured 

 spines. The spines are placed rather widely apart, and are not 

 very numerous, and the shortest occur along the side of the 

 back ; the largest are about \ of an inch in length. The 

 whiskers " and ^he hairs along the upper lips are present" and a 

 few short scattered hairs occur on the chin, but all the other 

 portions of the animal are perfectly nude. The snout is 

 short, and broad, and the teeth are visible. Fathigarh.
