  and 
  one 
  which 
  even 
  now 
  is 
  so 
  locally 
  distributed 
  in 
  the 
  east 
  that 
  it 
  has 
  

   only 
  been 
  found 
  living 
  by 
  three 
  individuals, 
  in 
  two 
  widely-separated 
  

   spots. 
  Mr.

  may 
  be 
  complimented 
  and 
  congratulated 
  on 
  

   having 
  brought 
  to 
  light 
  so 
  interesting 
  a

  Discussion-. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Ethekidge 
  remarked 
  on 
  the 
  interest 
  of 
  finding 
  in 
  Britain 
  

   an 
  Eocene 
  freshwater 
  shell 
  of 
  a 
  genus 
  now 
  living 
  only 
  in 
  India. 
  

   The 
  genus 
  appeared 
  to 
  be 
  near 
  Physa. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Gardner 
  said 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  interesting 
  to 
  find 
  so 
  remarkable 
  a 
  

   tropical 
  form 
  so 
  high 
  up 
  in 
  the 
  London 
  Clay. 
  He 
  thought 
  there 
  was 
  

   evidence 
  that 
  the 
  more 
  tropical 
  forms 
  of 
  fruits 
  occur 
  in 
  the 
  higher 
  

   beds 
  of 
  the 
  London 
  Clay. 
  

  

  The 
  Author 
  was 
  unable 
  to 
  say 
  what 
  genera 
  of 
  plants 
  were 
  found 
  

   in 
  association 
  with 
  this 
  land-shell 
  in 
  India 
  ; 
  but 
  Canes, 
  Palms, 
  Eerns, 
  

   and 
  large 
  grasses 
  grow 
  on 
  the 
  edges 
  of 
  the 
  marshes.
