 The Lymn.ea-shaped Ampullakia. Shell compressly

This fine species is distinguished by its elegantly con-

Fig. 40. (Mus. Cuming.) 



This shell, though differing so much in appearance from 



A. Layardl, represented at PI. VI. Fig. 27, is identical 



with it, and illustrates an example of the same species 



with the surface raalleated.
