Hab . — Khasi hills, Nortli-east of Bengal, and South of the Assam val- 
ley- 
The locality usually assigned to this shell, Bengal, conveys a false 
impression, as neither this nor any other Clausilia is found in the plains of 
India. Teria ghat, the locality mentioned in the Conchologia Indica, is at 
the southern base of the Khasi hills, and the shell is found at many places 
along the range, from the base up to a height of, I believe, 4000 or 5000 feet. 
Major Godwin- Austen sent me this species from Habiang on the Khasi 
plateau. I do not know if O. loxostoma occurs also on the northern or As- 
sam flank of the range ; I have never seen specimens from any place in that 
direction, and as the climate is much drier, many of the shells common on 
the southern watershed are wanting to the north. 
The form of this species varies considerably, some specimens being much 
more fusiform than others. I have figured three varieties, of which figure 6 
may be considered as the typical form.

This fine species, the largest hitherto found in Assam or the Himalayas, 
resembles O. loxostoma in its strongly crenulated sutures and in form, but 
differs in its larger size and more numerous whorls. It was first found by 
Mr. Masters in 1860, in the hills south of Golaghat, together with Spiracu- 
lurn Mastersi and other interesting shells. The more tumid variety has late- 
ly been obtained in North Caehar by Major Godwin- Austen.
