  has 
  been 
  introduced 
  in 
  flower-pots 
  from 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Canton. 
  

   One 
  specimen 
  was 
  taken 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  shell 
  was 
  a 
  pale 
  greenish- 
  

   white, 
  the 
  animal 
  being 
  of 
  a 
  normal 
  colour. 
  

  

  SuCCINEA 
  GlMLETTEI, 
  n.sp. 
  

  

  Differs 
  from 
  Succinea 
  Sinensis, 
  Gray, 
  by 
  its 
  narrower 
  form 
  and 
  

   more 
  elevated 
  spire, 
  much 
  darker 
  colour, 
  broader 
  penultimate 
  whorl, 
  

   and 
  shorter 
  and 
  less 
  dilated 
  aperture.

  Island,

  This 
  species 
  has 
  probably 
  been 
  introduced 
  into 
  Wei 
  - 
  hai 
  - 
  wei 
  

   Island, 
  perhaps 
  from 
  Tien-tsin, 
  or 
  even 
  from 
  the 
  opposite 
  mainland. 
  

   Specimens 
  are 
  very 
  numerous 
  in 
  the 
  courtyards 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  ruined 
  

   houses 
  above 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  naval 
  sick-quarters. 
  Unlike 
  

   Succinea 
  Sinensis 
  it 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  noticed 
  in 
  flower-pots.
