200 W. T. Blanford — Monograph of Clamilice. [No. 3, 
Hah. — Western Himalayas from the western frontier of Nipal to the 
Satlej valley, at elevations from 5000 to 9000 feet. 
The figure in the Conchologia Indica is that of a specimen which, 
although adult, has retained its apex. This is a very rare occurrence. The 
figure now given represents the shell as it is usually found. 
Three palatal plaits, the upper elongate, are always present, and beneath 
them there is occasionally to he found a rudimentary lunella. The charac- 
ters both of the shell and of the internal plication differ widely from 
those of typical Pheedusa, in which sub-genus I do not think that the 
present species can be included. It stands by itself, and I am inclined to 
look upon it as the type of a peculiar section. 
Section II. — ? Medora H. and A. Adams. Shell fusiform, horny, costulate 
or smooth, apex not deciduous. Lunule develoj>ed, with few, usually two, 
palatal plicse above it, the upper elongate.

Hal.- — Temperate regions of Sikkim and Butan, in the Eastern Hima- 
layas, from about 5000 to 9000 feet. It doubtless also exists in Nipal. 
It is generally met with at the roots of oaks and other large trees. 
In this species, as was noticed by Mr. Benson, the lunule is sometimes 
broken up into short oblique plaits above, and consequently the number of 
palatal plicse varies. Sometimes there is only the long lamellar plait above 
the lunule, in other specimens there are, besides the long one, two short plicse.
