This is one of the puzzling species, apparently intermediate between Macroclilamys and 
Xesia. 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. 
11. Nanina (Bensonia) angelica, Pfr. 
Helix a7welica, Pfr., P. Z. S., 1856, p, 33 (Punjab). 
Dr. Stoliczka found several living specimens, all unfortunately young, at Uri (between 
Tinali and 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 Bange. I give below the measurements of the Murree specimen, as 
they differ somewhat considerably from those of the type.

Pound tolerably abundant near Murree. Hutton records the animal “ as that of a true 
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.”
