Habitat in montibus Kolamullies dictis : teste W. King. 
This shell is nearly allied to A. Expatriates, Blanf. of the Nilgiris, 
but distinguished principally by the possession of a recurved ridge 
upon the constriction, somewhat similar to that in A. liebes, Bens, and 
A. gemmula, Bens. Other differences are, the flatter suture and more 
oblique mouth, caused by the greater descent of the last whorl in A. 
Footei, while the swelling at the side of the last whorl is somewhat 
greater, and the constriction more marked. 
From A. liebes and A. gemmula, the present species is easily distin- 
guishable by its flat spire, besides other characters of sculpture, &c. 
The ridge on the constriction in A. Footei lies back on the top of the 
whorl, and meets the peristome at the base of the right margin : in 
the other two species, the ridge is more at the side, and meets the 
peristome at the bottom. 
All the specimens sent are somewhat weathered. 
A variety of A. expatriates, Blanf. was also obtained by Mr. King 
from the Shevroys, a group of hills about 40 miles N. of the Kola- 
mullies. It only differs from the Nilgiri form in size, measuring in its 
two diameters of and 4f mm. instead of 4f and 3f. It is curious 
thus to find the same species on two hill-groups separated from each 
other by at least 100 miles, while a distinct species occurs on a third 
small table land but 30 miles from one of the others.
