6. Cl. loxostoma. (Ad p. 202.) 
The typical specimens of this species are pale brownish or dull ferru- 
ginous, and nearly smooth or obsoletely striated. Together with these a white, 
solid variety occurs on the Khasi hills ; in form it tolerably agrees with 
Blanford’s fig. (5b (plate IX), some specimens arc, however, still a little 
thicker, and the transverse costulation on all the whorls is very distinct, 
while the crenulation along the suture is generally not so coarse, as in typi- 
cal loxostoma, though evidently stronger than in Asaluensis, which latter 
also differs by a more slender shape and smaller aperture. Although the above 
noticed form appears to be a well marked variety of loxostoma, the differences 
do not seem to be constant, and both shells unquestionably are of the 
same type. The crenulation on the two last whorls is often most regular, 
each alternate rib somewhat projecting into the sutural impression. In other 
specimens two ribs unite to a sutural tooth. The stronger or finer costula- 
tion, or striation, of the whorls appears to depend upon the character of the 
locality in which the specimens live. 
I have added a figure (6 <T) of one of the shortest costulated varieties 
from the Khasi hills. 
10. Cl. Gotjxdiana. (Ad p. 203.) 
This also is one of the most variable species, both in colour and form. 
Young specimens are either brown or of a beautiful rosy tinge ; older shells, 
after they become solidified, either retain the brown or pink colour, or the lip 
becomes yellowish brown or perfectly white ; the 3-5 top-whorls are always 
white. The form differs from fusiform to highly turreted, as may be indi- 
cated by the following measurements— 
a. long 23, lat. 6, long, apert. S'2, ej. lat. 4 2 mm. 
b- ,, 28, „ 6 3, ,, „ 6'2, „ „ 5' „ ,, 
c * » *12, ,, 6 5, ,, ,, 6* „ ,, 5. „ ,, 
All three specimens are from near Monlmain ; a is almost exactly identical with 
Pfeiffer’s original figure of the speoies ; b and c are a white and a yellowish liped va- 
riety from. Mr. Theobald’s collection ; c has an almost abnormally small aperture as 
compared with the length of the shell. 
11 and 12. Cl. insignis. (See also fig. 12«; ad p. 204). 
Mr. Blanford is of opinion that Pfeiffer’s insignis is not the same as 
Gould’s, but that it is identical with the form figured by Hanley and Theobald 
in the Conch. Iconica. 
There is undoubtedly . a slight discrepancy between Gould’s original 
figure and description. He states the number of whorls to be 8 or 9, and the 
apex 1 mamillated,’ while the figure shews it shortly pointed ; then again he 
gives ‘ length 1 inch, breadth ^ of an inch.’ The original figure (whether 
enlarged or not, it is not stated) represents a shell of 28 mm. in length arid 7 
m thickness ; the second dimension is, therefore, only one fourth of the total
