1877.] Upper Burma and Yunnan. 2^5 



This, probably our commonest Indian land-shell, was found in great 

 abundance at Pagan, Upper Burma; very curiously neither this nor the 

 next s]3ecies are found at all in the neiglibourhood of Calcutta. The Museum 

 possesses specimens from Aden, Gwadar, Abyssinia, Sind, Kutch, Suliman 

 Eange, Trichinoply, Ceylon, Poena, Burwani Hills, Tinali (Benares), and Sa- 

 harunpur (N. W. Provinces). The Burmese localities of P. insular is and 

 P. ccenop ictus now recorded, I consider particularl}^ important and interesting. 

 PI. 22, fig. 10 of the Con. Indica well represents the Burmese form. 



Pupa (Letjcochila) c(enopictus, Hutt. 



Pupa cosnopictiis, Hutt., J. A. S. B. 1834 (Agra).

Found abundantly at Ava and Tsagain, Upper Burma ; there are also 

 specimens in the Museum from Erode, Cutch, Patna, Trichinopoly, Delhi, 

 Quettan, Abyssinia, and Grwadar.

 Fupa sahviniana, Theob., J. A. S. B. 1870 (Shan States) ; Con. Indica, pi. 100, fig-. 9. 



I found a single specimen of this interesting shell inside a Glessula 

 ohtusa from Bhamo. 



SUCCINEA ACUMINATA, Blf. 



Succinca acuminata, Blf., P. Z. S., 1869, p. 449 (Ponsee) ; Con. Indica, pi. 68, fig. 7. 



Found on the First Expedition only, at Momein in Yunnan ; it is a 

 well characterized and perfectly distinct s^oecies. 



Veeoficella, n. sp. 

 Two very fine specimens of an apparently quite new form were brought 

 back from Ponsee, preserved in spirit ; even in their present contracted 

 state the bigger one is 93 mils, in length ; I prefer not giving them a name 

 at present, as I am not prepared to describe their anatomical characters. 



Veeonicella Biemanica, Theob. 

 Vaginulus Birmanica, Theob., J. A. S. B., 1864, p. 243 (Rangoon, &c.) 



This species is not mentioned by M. Fischer, in his Monogr. of the 

 genus, Nouv. Archiv, Vol. VII. Stoliczka gives further details concerning 

 the form, J. A. S. B., 1871, p. 33. Dr. Anderson brought back eight 

 specimens from Bhamo and Tonsine, preserved in spirit, of course ; the larg- 

 est measures 24 mils. 



Helicaeion eesplendens, n. sp. 

 Shell in texture and colour resembling Helic (/i</as, Bens., but a little 

 thinner and more membranaceous; it is at once distinguished from it
