38 Contributions to Indian Malacology. [No. 1, 



Whorls 8, scarcely convex, the last rounded beneath. Aperture 

 oblique, peristome thin, columella moderately arcuate, obliquely trun- 

 cated below. 



Millem. Inches. 



Length, 27 1.1 



Diameter, 12 0.48 



Aperture 10 millemetres high, 6J broad. Habitat. Anamullay Hills. 

 Intermediate in its characters between A. Nilagarica, Bens., and 

 the oblong ovate, Achatina of Ceylon. 



Captain Beddome's Anamullay collections comprise the following 

 species in addition to those above described : — 

 Nanina vitrinoides, Desh. var. 

 N. Shiplayi, Pfr, 

 N. Indica, Pfr. var. 

 N. Travancorica ? Bens. 

 N. Basilens, Bens. 

 N. ampulla, Bens. 

 N. auris ? Pfr. 



Bulimus Nilagaricus, Pfr var. 

 B. physalis, Bens. 



B. sp. near B. trifasciatus, Rv., one imperfect specimen. 

 Cyclophorus Jerdoni, Bens. 



C. deplanatus, Pfr. 



C. sp. near C. ravidus, Bens, (or possibly an immature A idopoma. ) 



C. sp. (apparently near C. Shiplayi, Pfr., but finely costulated, 

 possibly the young of an Alycanis.) 



Pterocyclos nanus, Bens. 



Pt. rupestris, ? ! Bens. 



Paludomus, sp. 



Neritina Perrotettiana, Recleiz. 

 To which there only remains to be added Cataulus recurvatus, Pfr., 

 to complete the list of known shells from the Anamullays. I add a 

 few remarks upon the species above quoted. 



But one specimen occurs of the shell which I am disposed to con- 

 sider a variety of Nanina vitrinoides. It is small, measuring only 18J 

 millemetres by 16 in its two diameters, and 8 J in height. It is de- 

 pressed in form, and of a greenish tinge, but appears to differ in no
