Habitat raro prope Pykara. 
This shell has some characters in common with H. fastigiata, 
Hutt. of the Western, and II. Harraclcporensis, Pfr. of the Eastern 
Himalaya, but differs from both in its much more elevated SDire 
which is peculiar and very characteristic. It is a rare lorm and only 
one perfect specimen was met with. 
We are informed by Mr. Benson that he received a shell undis- 
tinguishable from II. fastigiata, Hutt. from the Nilgiris. A shell 
closely resembling the Himalayan species and possibly identical, was 
found by us in both the Seegoor and Neddiwuttom passes, and in the 
former place, was not rare.

Hab. raro in Coonoor Ghat, montium Nilgiri. 
The Sikkim and Landour II. rimicola, Bens.* is the nearest form 
to II. injussa with which we are acquainted. The Nilgiri shell has 
a higher spire, and is considerably smaller in size. Prom the com- 
paratively large H. inf ala, Bens. H. injussa may be easily distin- 
guished by the absence of the peculiar sculpture of that species, as 
well as by its fewer whorlsf and smaller size. 
No. 14. — Helix daghoba, n. s. PI. II. fig. 2. 
Testa auguste perforata, dopresse conoidea, oblique striata spiraliter 
sulcata, carinata, suturre impressse. Anfr. 7-8 lente aecreseentes 
* Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist, for April, 1859. 
f All the full grown specimens of H. infula which we possess have 7 whorls. 
This shell is tolerably abundant on Banyan trees ( Ficus indicaj in the Botanical 
Gardens, Calcutta. Wo have also met with it in Orissa.
