Theobald, Jr., as a cap-shaped Succinea, was found by him in abundance on the central peak of Mount Girnar in Kattiwar, on the peninsula which separates the Gulfs of Cutch and Oambay. He states that these hills form an amphitheatre, with a central crateriform clump, the peak rising to an altitude of 2500 Fig, 145.âCamptonyx theobaldi (all enlarged). (Copied from J. A. S. B.)
