Museum at Calcutta, 1878. Nor is this species included by 

 Paetel in his Catalogue der Conchylien, Samnibung, 1873. I 

 can only conclude that this species is either extremely rare, not 

 having been seen by these authors, or that some doubt exists in 

 their minds as to its being a distinct species. 



7**** Pythia carinata, Beck. 



Pohjdonta carinata, Bech., Indian Molluscorum prajsentis am 

 Musei prine august Christiani Frederici, 1837, p. 101, n. 1 (non 

 discripta). 



Pythia f carinata, in Pfr. Mon. Auriculaceorum, 1876, p. 343 ; 

 in Pfr., Mon. Auric. Viv., p. 79, 1856, see obs. 2. 



Habitat. Sinsapore or Sincapore, Beck. 



No mention is made to this species in the Hand List of 

 Mollusca in the Indian Museum published at Calcutta by G. 

 Nevill in 1878. 



The habitat given by Beck, Sinsapore or Sincapore (Singapore) 

 has not been verified by those who have been working recently 

 in that field.
