Rangoon: many examples. 



The resemblance to C laeviceps is so close that I doubt if 

 this species is specifically distinct notv^ithstanding the obliteration 

 of the frontal suture. The singular sculpture of the surface of 

 the head in the genus Olivina though constant in ground-plan 

 is subject to considerable individual variation in the species as 

 may be seen, by comparing for example , a good series of the 

 common C. indica from various localities; but the presence or 

 absence of a frontal suture is too important a character to be 

 disregarded.
