    401. Kaliella vulcani, Godwin-Austen, Mol. Ind. i, 1882. p. 6, pi. 1, fig. 13 (shell). This only differs from II. barrakporensis in having slightly convex sides to the spire, a blunter apex, and rather more rounded whorls. Diam. 3, height 2| mm. Hub. Pnppa-doung near Pagan, Upper Burma (TU. T. B.). The only shell is not in good condition, and in better preserved specimens there might be concentric striation on the base. It is probably a variety of K. barrakporensis. 402. Kaliella jaintiaca, Godivin-Austen, Mol. Ind. i, 1882, p. 7, pi. 2, fig. 4 (shell). Shell subperforate, trochiform, thin, very minutely obliquely striated, and with very fine concentric striae on base, pale horny brown; spire conical, sides nearly straight, apex obtuse, suture impressed ; whorls 5j, convex, the last sharply heeled, convex below; aperture slightly oblique, angulately lunate; peristome thin, columellar margin vertical. Diam. 3|, height 3 mm. Hcib. Marangsip Peak (5350') and Sherfaisip Peak (5600'), South Jaintia Hills. This is near bcirrakporensis, but the spire is lower and more convex at the side, and the base is more tumid and the aperture higher and more open. [403. Kaliella jaintiaca, var., Godwin-Austen, Mol. Ind. ii, 1907, p. 174, pi. 103, fig. 10 (shell). Loccdity. Hengdan Peak, JST. Cachar Hills {Godwin-Austen'). Original description :—The typical species was found by me on Marangsip Peak, Jaintia Hills, at 5350 feet. The species now figured is from the Naga Hills and is the nearest approach I can find to it, yet it differs somewhat, particularly at the columellar margin, which is more oblique.] 404. Kaliella cherraensis, Godwin-Austen, Mol. Ind. i, 1882, p. 4, pi. 1, fig. 5 (shell) (nec Nanina cherraensis, Blf. J. A. S. B. 1870, p. 14). Shell narrowly perforate, high trochiform, thin, obliquely striated, with microscopic parallel impressed lines above, below decussated with radiating and concentric striae, brownish horny; spire conoidal, rather high, sides convex, apex obtuse, suture im- pressed ; whorls 6, flatly convex above, the last carinate, almost flat beneath; aperture oblique, subquadrately lunate; peristome thin, columellar margin oblique, reflected. Diam. 3, height 34 mm. Hah. Garo, Kbasi, and JNaga Hills to south of Assam, and Dafla Hills to north.
