" This species approaches S. semiserica, Gould, but is dis- 

 tinguished from that and fx'om all other Indian species by its 

 coarse sculpture. It has also a larger spire than S. semiserica. 

 It is not common : indeed spe^-ies of the genus Succinea are 

 generally but very locally distributed in India and Burma."

Apparently a rare species not seen by me.
