Mr. W. T. Blanford has been kind enough to allow me to 

 publish his notes on this MoUusk. I can find no mention in 

 JickeK or other authors of the animals of the Abyssinian 

 Vitrinas. " Animal apparently not retractile ; mantle large 

 and rugose, only partially reflected over peristome, a little more 

 BO over the shell at the suture ; foot coarsely granulate above, 

 sole not margined by a furrow at the side ; taU bluntly keeled 

 above, pointed, with no trace of a gland ; three furrows from 

 near breathing orifice to lower tentacles, lower two uniting in 

 front ; lower tentacles short, upper ones (eye pedicels) moderate ; 

 the rounded process of the mantle reversed over the suture 

 sometimes reaches the apex and appears easily extensible. Pale 

 flesh colour, Tellowish on back, two dark lines from base of ten- 

 tacles ; mantle with opaque yeUow spots ; jaw narrow without 

 process in centre, smooth."
