This is one of the puzzling species, apparently intermediate between Macrochlamys and 
Xesta. The question of its correct generic rank can only be settled by a careful examina- 
tion of its anatomy. In the excellent original description, the animal is described as of “ a 
dark verdigris green, living under fallen timber at 9,000 to 11,000 feet above the sea, &c. 
Dr. Stoliczka found a few specimens at Tinali.

Ilelix angelica , Pfr., P. Z. S., 1856, p. 33 (Punjab). 
Dr. Stoliczka found several living specimens, all unfortunately young, at Uri (between 
Tinali land Srinagar). The form is distinguished from the preceding by the almost closed 
umbilicus, more closely wound whorls, &c. ; the rounded periphery and numerous varices 
appear to be characteristic.

A single specimen of this well-marked species was found at Murree : it is a common 
shell in the Punjab Salt Range. I give below the measurements of the Murree specimen, as 
they differ somewhat considerably from those of the type.

Helix, of a dark grey or blackish colour, abundant during the rains on moist rocks, under 
dead leaves, &c., and at the roots of shrubs.”
