Hab in Cachar. (Godwin-Auste n.) 



This is an ally of P. steplianus, B s., so far as form is concerned, 

 but it differs widely in sculpture, and although that is not a 

 character of much importance in the genus Paludomus and its allies, 

 still, as no intermediate forms between the two are known, it ap- 

 pears quite justifiable to separate them.

Hab. in regione Travancorica. (B e d d o m e.) 



This is the most rounded form of restricted Paludomus with which 

 I am acquainted. But for the operculum, it could scarcely be dis- 

 tinguished from some specimens of Philopotamis globulosus. It 

 is, however, easily distinguished from all other Indian Paludomi ; the 

 nearest approach to its form is in the Burmese P. ornatus, B s. 



I am not acquainted with the exact locality which is, however, in 

 the South West of the Indian peninsula, and, I believe, in the 

 Travancore hills. 



3. Cremnoconchus conicus, sp. nov~, PL III, fig. 3. 



Testa imperforata, ovato-conica, solida, albida, fascia spirali castaned 

 supra peripheriam inter dum omata, epidermide olivaced, haud nitidd,

 postice subangulata, intus fulv esc ens vel alba, aliquando fascia castaned
