 p. 164 & pi. viii, tig. 14, pl, ix, ligs. 1-4. 



Ee marks. — This species appears to be very closely allied to 

 C. tjidamarensis, Martin,^ also doubtfully known from Burma ; but 

 in Dr. jSToetling's figure of the latter, the umbo appears to be more 

 rounded than in the specimens under observation. On the other 

 hand, it seems probable that the supposed weak development of the 

 posterior ribs, referred to by that author as characteristic of 

 Cardita jprotovariegata, is the result of weathering. 



Locality. — Letpan choung, 10 miles east of Sawmyo (Pakokku 

 district).

p. 67 & pl. XV, figs. 31-33, pl. xvi, fig. 1. 



Description. — A large, inflated, orbicular right valve, with 

 delicate concentric sculpture and prosogyrous beaks. Hinge not 

 well preserved. 



lie mark 6. — Though the anterior part of the shell is only pre- 

 served as a cast, there are indications of a deeply-excavated lunule, 

 as in Sacco's variety perlunulata, found in greatest abundance in 

 the Helvetian of Europe. The species is characteristic of the 

 Helvetian and Tortonian stages of the European Miocene, and has 

 been found in France, Italy, the Vienna Basin, Central Egypt, etc. 

 (Lucina ^omum, Desmoulins, is synonymous, according to Sacco.) 



Locality. — Half a mile north-west of Padoukbin (Thayetmyo 

 district).

Family Tellixidje. 

 Tellina sp.

 with fine concentric striations and indications of a faint posterior 

 keel, probably belongs to this genus, and appears to be an un- 

 described species.
