    The spire is considerably higher than in K. teriaensis, and lower than in K. barrdkporensis and its allies. [420. Kaliella pancistriata, Godivin-Austen, Mol. Ind. ii, 1907, p. 174, pi. 103, fig. 10 (shell). Locality. Dikrang Valley, Dafla Hills {Godwin-Austen). Original description :—Shell keeled, depressedly pyramidal ; sculpture microspiral striation with coarse, irregular, distant, transverse costulation, the same shown on the basal side; colour very pale ochre ; spire moderately high, sides flat; suture shallow. Whorls 5, sides flatly convex; aperture not complete, probably quadrate; peristome thin; columella broken. Size : maj. diam. 3-8, alt. axis 2 mm. The form of this shell is very like that of K. nagaensis, but has different sculpture.] [421. Kaliella richilaensis, Godivin-Austen, Mol. Ind. ii, 1907, p. 175, pi. 103, figs. 2, 2 b. Locality. Bichila Peak, Bhutan frontier, 10,370feet{W. Robert). Original description :—Shell globosely conoid, very rounded below, very narrowly umbilicated; sculpture, transverse distant costulation, rather fine, not regular; colour pale sienna-brown; spire moderately high, sides flat, apex blunt, suture impressed; whorls 5, keeled on the last, but with no carination, flatly convex; aperture narrowdy lunate; peristome thin, columellar margin nearly perpendicular, reflected near the umbilicus. Size: maj. diam. 3*3, alt. axis 1*8 mm. Somewhat of the form of K. nagaensis; it is, however, a smaller shell and the sculpture is not so fine and regular as in that species.] [422. Kaliella richilaensis, var., Godwin-Austen, Mol. Lnd. ii, 1907, p. 175, pi. 103, fig. 2 a. Locality. Bichila Peak, Bhutan frontier, 10,370 feet(W. Robert). Original description:—Shell globosely conoid, not umbilicated, covered with a strong epidermis ; sculpture very regular fine costulation; colour strong sienna tint; spire moderately high, conoid, apex rounded, suture shallow; whorls 5, rather flatly convex; aperture narrowdy lunate; peristome thin, columellar margin subvertical, but very slightly reflected. Size : maj. diam. 3*6, alt. axis 2*2 mm.] C. Turbinate or globosely conoid, not carinate. 423. Kaliella ? nana, Hutton (Helix), J. A. S. B. vii, 1838, p. 218; Pfr. (Helix) Mon.
