Description of Fossil Shells, from the above-described Deposits. 

 By the Rev. S. Hislop. 



I. Shells from the Freshwater Strata of Nagpur and neighbouring 

 parts of Central India. 



Melania qtjadrilineata, J. Sowerby, Trans. Geol. Soc. Lond. 2 ser. 

 vol. v. pi. 47. figs. 17-19. 



This species was discovered by Dr. Malcolmson, who gives Chikni 

 as the locality where it is met with in the province of Nagpur. That 

 and the neighbouring village of Karwac? have furnished the majority 

 of my specimens, though a few have been obtained from Pahacfeingha, 

 where they are found along with the species next mentioned. Beyond 

 our frontier, M. quadrilineata is common at Karuni, intermingled 

 with Unios. 



Melania Httnteri, sp. nov. PL V. fig. 1. 

 M. testa subulata ; anfractibus 7-8, Iambus, convexis ; sutura profunda ; aper- 



tura oblique ovata. Long. "5 ; lat. "2 unc. 



The present species differs from the preceding in being desti- 

 tute of carince, in place of which it is furnished with a slight longi- 

 tudinal striation. Abundant at Pahacfeingha. The specific name is 

 given in honour of the Rev. Robert Hunter, my esteemed colleague 

 for many years in the work of evangelization, as well as my highly 

 accomplished associate in geological research. 



Paltjdlna iSroEMALis, sp. nov. PI. Y. figs. 2 a, 2 b. 



P. testa rimata, oyato-conica ; apice subacuto, sed saepius truncato ; anfractibus 



5-6, yentricosis, sutura profunda separatis ; apertura rotunda ; peristomate 



continue Long. -8 ; lat. - 5 unc. 



At Karwac? rare ; at Takli and Phizdura more abundant. Specimens 

 have also been procured from Ambiakanti and Tundra, near Olam in 

 Hyderabad. 



Those found at Takli are generally small, and truncate at the apex, 

 leaving only about 2\ whorls remaining. Those at the other localities
