the toothed edges being strongly curved, both longitudinaly and late- 

 rally. In figure 7a, 7b the uncini are drawn on a larger scale, 

 shewing the tube-like form of the roof and its base. The uncini of 

 this species are peculiarly spreading and fan-like, especially on the 

 1st and 2nd laterals. 



The lingual ribbon of Pupina differs considerably in form from the 

 last, z }^ \ z f z . The laterals are four-cusped, the medial tooth 

 only being tri-cusped, and after a long search I could not detect 

 more than as given above. The breadth of the ribbon was -008 

 inch. P s imbricifera is the only species that I have met with in 

 these hills. Specimens from the Burrail hills are smaller and more 

 tumid than those from the Khasi hills, but differ in no other 

 respect ; the animal is quite black, of the usual Cyclophoroid form, 

 tentacles moderately long and slender.

 The following species are from various collections. For speci- 

 mens from the Khasi and Garo hills, and from Oachar, I am in- 

 debted to Major Godwin-Austen. Those from "Western and 

 Southern India have been found by Major Beddome, Major 

 E v e z a r d, Mr. Fairbank and myself.
