890 MOLLUSCA. 



Three dead specimens only of this interesting form were found on the Pirst 

 Expedition on the Kakhyen Hills ; the spire is a trifle more depressed than in typi- 

 cal specimens from the Shan States.

 Bithynia iravadica, Blanf., Proc. Zool. Soc, 1869, p. 446; Con. Indica, pi. xxvii, fig. 10. 



A comparison of the type specimens in the Indian Museum of B. iravadica 

 with typical specimens of P. goniomphalus from Cochin China prove the two 

 species to be perfectly identical. Specimens from Siam of B. siamensis, Lea, are 

 exceedingly closely allied, and may proye to be only a variety ; they differ, how- 

 ever, by their smaller size, and by the last whorl being rounded and not ungulate, 

 as is the case in P. goniom;phalus. This species was obtained abundantly by 

 Dr. Anderson at Ava, Mandalay, and Kabyuet.

 Bithynia turrita, Nevill, I. c, p. 29. 



This most distinct and interesting species was not found on the Second Expe- 

 dition ; the single type in the Indian Museum, therefore, remains unique. The 

 species is, I think, a true Bithynia^ certainly not a Fairhankia. It was found at 

 Kyoutong, in Upper Burma.
