In the second paper cited above, one of us has recently dis- 

 cussed the relationships of the genus and the subfamily and we 

 have nothing to add to this account. 



The genotype is Paludina costigera var. curta, Nevill. There 

 are two local races of the only known species, the typical form from 

 the plains of the southern part of the Madras Presidency and Ceylon, 

 and the variety' or subspecies curta from the Mj'sore Plateau. It 

 is possible that the latter will ultimately be regarded as a distinct 

 species.
