Looks like one which occupied a few ponds near Yarmouth Industrial Park bac=
k in the '60's and '70's.  As I recall, one Lester Allen, an avid shell-col=
lector introduced them.  I don=E2=80=99t know where he got the live materia=
l, and it is too late to ask him.

I do recall that the snails were identified by Lester and his sister Letha =
(whose shell collection is now in the NS Museum) as Viviparus malleatus.

Naturalists,

The publication on this is now available on line - and any of the provincia=
l museums would be glad of specimens or photos documenting that it is "is c=
learly more widespread in the region."

http://karstaddailypaintings.blogspot.ca/2014/08/grand-lake-mystery-snails-=
watercolour-4.html
gives an account of the St John River discovery and our experience with the=
 species in Ontario, and http://karstaddailypaintings.blogspot.ca/2011/08/c=
hinese-mystery-snail-habitat-oil-on.html
an account of the ones near home.

Abstract: The Chinese mystery snail, Cipangopaludina [=3DBellamya] chinensi=
s, is documented for the first time in the Saint John River, New Brunswick,=
 a watercourse which drains the largest watershed in Atlantic Canada. This =
is the first non-native mollusc known to be established in the Saint John R=
iver system. Although significant ecosystem effects of the species seem unl=
ikely, possible introduction of C. chinensis via boat traffic emphasizes th=
e need for boater education combined with monitoring of the Saint John Rive=
r system for potentially more troublesome non-native species, including the=
 zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha. Review of published records and museum=
 collections for Atlantic Canada show C. chinensis has been reported from 1=
3 freshwater wetlands and waterbodies in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and New=
foundland since 1955. The species remains extant in at least 10 of these si=
tes and is clearly more widespread in the region than the single previously=
 published report would suggest.
