The above are the dimensions of the largest specimen found. It is 
however possible that this shell may attain a greater size. The sole 
Indian species to which it appears to be related is Sp. {Bui.) gracilis, 
Hutt, from which, however, it may be easily distinguished by its very 
obtuse apex, less numerous whorls, &c. 
No. 23. — Achat ina pauper cula, n. s. PI. I. fig. 16. 
Testa turrito-oblonga, solidula, nitidula, fulvo cornea, impresso- 
striata ; spira turrita, lateribus vix convexis, apice obtusa, sutura 
sub-marginata, Anfr. 7, parum eonvexi, ultimus i longitudinis sub- 
sequans. Columella valde arcuata, basi antiee truncata. Apertura 
ovali-pyriformis ; peristoma rectum, intus vix labiatum, marginibus 
eallo junctis. 
Long. 9 diam. 3^- mm. ap. 3 alta. 2 lata,

The nearest ally to this small species appears to be the Darjiling 
A. crassula, B. From this it is mainly distinguished by the shape 
of the spire which is more convex at the side, by its smaller breadth 
compared with its length, and by its more marked and slightly mar- 
ginate sutures. 
A. paupercula is probably common upon the Shevroys. All the 
specimens however found by Mr. King at that locality are bleached, 
two specimens from the Kolamullies alone retaining their original 
texture. 
No. 24. — Acliatina Tamulica, n. s. 
Testa turrita, tenuis, pellucida, nitida, cornea, striatula ; spira re- 
gulariter attenuata, apice obtusa ; Anfr. 10 eonvexi, ultimus 
longitudinis paulo superans, rotundatus; columella valde arcuata, 
oblique truncata. Apertura parum obliqua, subovalis ; peristoma 
simplex, tenue, marginibus callo tenuissimo junctis.

Hab. prope Trichinopoly ad Cullagoody, &c. 
Near A. Shiplayi, Plr. but distinguished by the smaller number 
of whorls, more obtuse apex, &c.
