Hab. In montibus ' Shevrai' vel ' Shevroy' dictis, baud procul ab urbe 

 Salem, Indis3 meridionalis (ff. Beddome). 



Shell arcuatelj rlmate, subcylindrically turreted, translucent yellowish, 

 white, finely and somewhat indistinctly ribbed. Spire turreted, elongate, 

 becoming rather smaller above, with the sides rather convex, the apex blunt, 

 and the suture impressed. Whorls 7i, moderately convex ; the last whorl 

 ascending slightly close to the mouth. Aperture vertical, semioval, obli- 

 quely truncated, witli a strong re-entering parietal plait, bifid and flexuous 

 within, near the posterior angle, a columellar lamina at a distance within 

 the mouth, and four tubercular teeth — one columellar, two basal, and the 

 fourth inside the right margin opposite to the parietal plait, so as partly 

 to cut off: the upper (posterior) portion of the mouth. Peristome white, 

 expanded, except near the junction with the last whorl, where the edge is 

 curved back somewhat ; margins united by a callus, on which is the parie- 

 tal plait. Length 0'22, diam. 075, length of aperture (including peris- 

 tome) '05 inch. 



I have received from Col. Beddome three specimens of this species, 

 two of which are evident!^ immature ; the third I believe to be full-grown, 

 but the peristome may perhaps be more fully expanded in older examples. 



E. suhcostidata is allied to E. pirriei, JE. sculpta, JE. macrodon, and 

 their allies, but is distinguished from all by sculpture and the form of the 

 teeth in the mouth. It was, I believe, this species which was erroneously 

 quoted as E. pirriei from the Shevroy hills (J A. S. B., 1861, xxx. p. 361).
