"It is not with entire confidence that (not having seen the animal) I attribute this species to the genus Campioceras, since it differs from the typical species in having the whorls contiguous, except behind the peristome. In most specimens that I have examined, little more than the peristome is free, but in one or. ;< to Kg. 144.—Campioceras Imeatwm. (Copied from J. A. S. B.) two, at least a quarter of the last whorl is not in contact x^ith the penultimate whorl, as may be seen if the shell be held up to the light or over a sheet of white paper in a proper position. The character of the peristome and of the shell surface closely resemble those of the more typical species of Camptoceras, and that the habits of the animal are similar may be inferred from its association with the preceding species [C. austeni']. As far as can be judged, therefore, the evidence is preponderant in favour of this generic alliance I have adopted. Perhaps it may not be irrelevant to add that no species of Physa has yet been discovered in India " {H. F. Blanford.) Two shells from the original locaHty, in the Godwin-Austen collection (British Museum), are marked " ; One of these shows the remains of an epiphragm. Three other shells only.
