AMPULLARIA. 



Plate VII. 



Species 31. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Ampi:i,larh flatilis. Amip. lestd vix umbilicata, glo- 

 hosd, tumidd, spird brevimculd, anfractibm coiwexis, 

 lavlbna, longitudinalite-r striato-scalptis ; virescetite- 

 olkaced, atigude foiciatd ; aperturd pyriformi-ovatd, 

 lahro columellari subreJlexo,Jlavescente. 



Thk blown Ampullaria. Shell scarcely umbilicated, 

 globose, lumid, spire rather short, whorls convex, 

 smooth, longitudinally striately scratched ; greenish- 

 olive, narrowly banded ; aperture pyriformly ovate, 

 columellar lip slightly reflected, yellowish. 



Hob. Tabasco, Mexico. 



Allied to J. Uvescens, but obviously distinct in form, 

 more rounded, with the spire less exserted, and more con- 

 tracted at the umbilicus. 



Species 33. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Ampullaria malleata. Amp. lestd ylobosd, tumidd, 

 vix umbilieatd, spird subacuminatd, anfractibv.s con- 

 vexis, undique conspicue malleatis ; livido-olivaced ,- 

 aperturd pyriformi-onatd, labro stibeffuso, iniiis fia- 

 vescente. 

 The hammered Ampullaria. Shell globose, tumid, 

 scarcely umbilicated, spire rather acuminated, whorls 

 convex, everywhere conspicuously maUeated ; livid 

 olive ; aperture pyriformly ovate, lip rather etTused, 

 yellowish within.

Ampullaria reflexa, var., Philippi 

 Hab. Mexico. 



This species is clearly not a variety of A. reflexa. Al- 

 though the malleated surface predominates in a manner to 

 render it a distinguishing character, the shell is distin- 

 guished otherwise by peculiarities of form. 



Species 33. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Ampullaria speciosa. Amp. testd globosd, profundi 

 umbilieatd, spird breviusculd, subimmersd, arifractibus 

 ad sutiiram caualiculaiia, deinde convexis ; glaucd, 

 lineato-fasciatd, epidermide olivaced corned indutd ; 

 aperturd pyriformi'oblougd, perampld, lahro iiitus in- 

 tense mitdato. 



The handsome Ampullaria. Shell globose, deeply 

 umbilicated, spire rathtr sliort, somewhat immersed, 



whorls channelled at the suture, then convex ; glau- 

 cous, banded with lines, covered with an olive horny 

 epidermis; aperture pyriformly oblong, very large, 

 lip deep vermilion within.

 Conch. Cab. Amp. p. 40. pi. 11. f. 3. 



Ilab. Zanzibar. 



A fine glaucous species, covered with a rather thin 



olive-horny epidermis, deep vermilion-stained within the 



lip, convoluted nearly on a vertical plane. 



Species 34. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Ampullaria h.emastoma. Amp. lestd globosd, soli- 

 diusculd, subprofunde umbilieatd, spird brevi, obtusd, 

 anfractibiis superne pluntdatis, deinde convexis, un- 

 dique peculiariler corrugato-malleatis ; livide oliva- 

 ceo-nigrd ; aperturd lunato-oblongd, labro intits in- 

 tense sanguineo. 



The blood-mouthed Ampullaria. Shell globose, 

 rather solid, rather deeply umbilicated, spire short, 

 obtuse, whorls rather flat at the upper part, then 

 convex, everywhere peculiarly wrinkle-malleated ; 

 livid olive-black ; aperture lunar-oblong, lip deep 

 blood-red within. 



Hab. Peru. 



Of an intense dark livid colour, almost black, with the 



surface peculiarly wrinkle-malleated, and the lip stained 



within with deep blood-red. 



Species 35. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Ampullaria polita. Amp. testd oblongo-globosd, sub- 

 glayidiformi, subimperforatd, spird vix acuminatd, an- 

 fractibus convexis, pecuUariter nitentibus, olivaceo- 

 virerite ; aperturd pyriformi, subangustd. 



The polished Ampullaria. Shell oblong-globose, 

 somewhat acorn-shaped, almost imperforated, spire 

 slightly acuminated, whorls convex, peculiarly shin- 

 ing ; olive-green ; aperture pyriform, rather narrow.

Hab. Port Jackson, Australia. 



Of an oblong-globose glandiform shape, with a peculiar 



dark, shining, olive-green surface.
