Habitat prope Darjiling. Diam. 0.96. Alt. 0.35. 



A young specimen of H. Cyclophlax measuring Diain. 0.96. 

 At. 0.45. 



The character on which I chiefly rely in separating the above shell 

 from H. Cyclophlax is the almost microscopic sculpture it presents, 

 so different from its allies H. Cyclophlax and H. Oxytes. These two 

 last are indeed far more closely allied than either to the one above 

 described. In size, colour, form and sculpture they do not differ more 

 than is observable in local varieties of one species, the sole material 

 point of difference seeming to me to consist in the flattening dow T n 

 of the mouth of H. Cyclophlax, which is not observable in H. 

 Oxytes. The wide set striation of H. Blanfordi developes towards 

 the periphery a slightly undulating outline calling to mind, though 

 on a small scale, the somewhat similar feature in H. Bainbridgei. 



Succinea Girnarica, n. s. 



(8. prodigium Mss. olim.) 



Testa oblonge-ovata solida nou polita, tumida, fortiter striata 

 rubro-flavescente magis minusve rutilo, aliquando pallescente ; An- 

 fract. 2| rapidissime crescentibus, ultimo capacissimo. Apertura ro- 

 tundata. Perist. tenui. Diam. 1.07, 0.61. Alt. 0.42. 



Habitat in cacuminibus et locis elevatioribus montis Girnar Pen- 

 insula Gujeratensi, dicta Katiwar. 



Few specimens attain the dimensions here given. The largest 

 shells are found on the peaks of the Eastern portion of the Girnar 

 Hills and at a lower elevation of about 2000 feet, the shells are 

 much smaller and paler coloured. They congregate in large num- 

 bers together in the crevices of the rocks to which they adhere so 

 firmly, that it is no easy matter to dislodge them from their retreat. 

 On the central peaks they are accompanied by the curious little 

 Camptonyx Theobaldi B. though I did not observe that shell on the 

 outer bills.
