This is one of the group of small Indian Achatims comprising 
A. gemma, Bens, and A. scrutillus, B. From these two shells the 
present species is distinguished by its conical spire with straight and 
not convex sides, its paler colour and sculpture. Both varieties were 
found abundantly crawling on banks, in a garden at Nungumbankum, 
a suburb of Madras. 
An Achatina distinct from any of the above and probably new is 
figured at PI. II. fig. 9. Two specimens of this shell were received from 
Mr. Foote, who found it on the lvalryenmullies. It is characterised 
by a strong oblique costulation on the upper part of the whorls, 
the lower part being smooth. Like most of its associates it is 
thin, and of a pale horny brown. We refrain from naming it being 
doubtful whether it be a full grown shell, though both the specimens 
received are of the same size and form. 
The complete list of species, from the Kolamullay, Patchamullay, 
Kalryenmullay and Shevroy hills respectively, contained in Messrs. 
King and Foote’s collections is the following. Those marked with an 
JSf occur also in the Nilgiris.
