(l.c. p. 172), v. Martens (Süss- u. Brackw. Moll. p. 49) is in doubt about this question, but suggests 

 that my M. punctata Lam. from Kupang, Timor, belongs to laevigata. Brot has veritïed and 

 approved my identification of the latter specimens. How this may be, the specimens now under 

 consideration, belong no doubt to the true Af. punctata Lam.

Though small, some specimens seem in 1><- adult; one of them has a slight angle below 

 the suture of last whorl, thus forming a passage to .1/. cochlidium Lea, but it is not so strong 

 as in that species.

This specimen belongs to a variety with only a few spiral striae at the lower part of 

 the median whorls, somewhat like var. seminuda v. Martens (l.c. p. $S. PI. I\', fïg. 1 . hut that 

 variety according to the figure "f \. Martens and specimens from Adonara in my collection is 

 strongly flamed. By its sculpture it resembles specimens from Supajang (Sumatra).
