<br/>> Just checked with Jason yes they are the Cipangopaludina chinensis (Gray, 1834) See http://www.reabic.net/journals/bir/2016/3/BIR_2016_McAlpine_etal.pdf for the latest data we have. Any additional information would always be appreciated.

<br/>> Very interesting meeting.
<br/>> Mr Leblanc showed a bottle of large snails.
<br/>> 10 - 12 cm in length would say. He gave a description
<br/>> but my hearing leaves a little to be desired but I got
