This species is dedicated to the late Chevalier Bernardi, who 

 was formerly one of the editors of the Journal de Conchy- 

 liologie. 



The Cyrena Bernardiiana is more inflated and more trans- 

 verse than Cyrena nitida. Compared with Cyrena Ceylonica 

 it is not so solid, more inflated, and less trigonal.
