ovata, longit. totius \ hand cequans ; peristoma tenue, conti-

Bythinia walleri. 



This is very different in form from B. alberti, having a much 

 higher spire and smaller aperture. The single specimen is at present 

 in the possession of the Rev. H. Waller. 



8. Planorbis sudanicxjs. 



PL sudanicus, v. Martens, j\Ial. Blat. 1870, vol. xvii. p. 35 ; 1874, 

 p. 41 ; Pfeiffer, Novit. Conch, vol. iv. p. 23, pi. 1 14. f. 6-9 ; Smith, 

 Proc. Zool. Soc. 1880, p. 349. 



Hub. White Nile {Consul Petherick in Brit. Mus.) ; Gazelle 

 River (Bahr-el-Ghasal) (v. Martens) ; Albert Nyanza {Baker and 

 Emin) ; Tanganyika {Stnith). 



It is interesting to note the distribution of this species as dimly 

 indicating a connection between the two lakes, which at present is 

 but a matter of conjecture. 



9. Planorbis stanleyi, n. sp. 



Testa mediocriter depressa, utrinque suhcequaliter concava, nitida, 

 oblique striata, vix semipellucida, cornea, inf erne pallida ; anfr ac- 

 tus 4, celeriter accrescentes, rotundati, ultimus magnus, antice 

 paulo injiatus, sutura profunda sejunctus ; apertura magna, 

 obliqua, plerumque supra anfr. penultimum elevata ; perist. tenue, 

 marginibus callo tenui junctis, columellari leviter incrassato et 

 reflexo. Diam. 9, alt. 4 5 ; apertura 4| longa, 3 J millim. lata. 

 This species is remarkable for the rapid enlargement of the last 

 whorl, which ends in a very open aperture and usually is produced 

 above the penultimate whorl ; in some specimens, however, it descends 

 somewhat.
