Shell  elongately  turreted  ;  sculpture  close,  fine,  regular,  rallier
coarse;  colour  ochraceous;  spire  elongate,  sides  nearly  straight,
very  slightly  acuminate  near  the  blunt  apex,  100:  33'7  ;  suture
moderately  impressed  ;  whorls  11,  fides  very  fially  convex  ;  aper-
ture narrowly  ovate;  columellar  margin  cnrved  slightly.
Size:  major  diam.  0'25  ;  alt.  axis  25'0  mm.
This  is  the  var.  major  o^ iiertenuis  Blanford  alluded  to  above  ;  it
is  not  so  attenuate  in  general  form,  the  apex  is  much  stronger
and  blunter,  fewer  whorls,  white,  longer,  and  the  sculpture
coarser;  a  comparison  of  figure  (No.  3)  with  those  of  true  ienui-
s/nra  from  Teria  Ghat  and  liusUda  shows,  better  than  any
description,  how  much  it  differs.

MOLLTJSCA  OF   INDIA,  65

nearly  flat,  apex  very  blunt;  suture  well  impressed;  whorls  11,
sides  flatly  convex ;  aperture  broadly  ovate ;  columellar  margin
very  convex.
Size  :  maj.  diam.  7*0  ;  length  22'75  mm.
This  species  was  found  among  Blanford's  duplicate  shells,  the
box  marked  with  above  locality  and  with  the  note  "  intermediate
between  temiisj^ira  and  jierteiniis" ;  it  differs  quite  sufficiently  from
both  and  from  hasseinensis  to  be  distinguished.  From  the  last,  it  is
far  longer  at  the  body-whorl,  which  is  very  swollen,  its  sides  more
convex,  and  the  apex  is  much  larger.
