AMPULLARIA. 



Species G. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Ampullaria figclina. Amp. tedd ovatd, tenukuld, 

 spird brevi, anfractibtcs connexis, ad suiuram mtbde- 

 pressk, lavilius; mnbilico amplo ; aperturd ovatd; 

 pallide oUvaceo-ciiiered, Unek fasciiique ritfia cingu- 

 latd. 

 The clay Ampdllabia. Shell ovate, rather tliiu, spire 

 short, whorls convex, rather depressed at the suture, 

 smooth ; umbilicus large ; apertm-e ovate ; pale olive- 

 ash, encircled vvith red lines and bands. 

 Spix, Test. Fluv. Brasil. pi. 4. f. 4. 

 Ampullaria lineata, var., Spix. 

 Hub. BrazU. 



SpLx appears to have figured this species under the 

 above name, and to have regarded it afterwards as a va- 

 riety of his A. lineata. It is well distinguished by its 

 light textui'e, largely umbilicated growth, and red-banded 

 colouring upon a pale olive-ash ground. 



Species 7. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Ampullahia rufilineata. Amp. tedd ovatd, spird stib- 

 prominuld, anfractUrm superiie subdepressis, deinde 

 convexis, Icevibus ; unibilico obtecto ; aperturd ovatd, 

 labro columellari reflexo ; albd, ftdvo-spadiced, lineis 

 rjifis varie eingulald. 

 The red-lined Ampullaria. Shell ovate, spire rather 

 prominent, whorls rather depressed at the upper 

 part, then convex, smooth ; umbilicus covered ; apei-- 

 ture ovate, columeUar lip refiected ; white, fulvous- 

 fawn, variously encircled with red lines, 



Hah. ? 



Conspicuously encii-cled with red lines upon a fulvous- 

 fawn gTound, as in the preceding species, but distinguished 

 bv the absence of a visible umbilicus and by the more 

 prominent convolution of the spii-e. 



Species 8. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Ampvllaeia NoiiiLis. Amp. tedd subpyriformi-globosd, 

 spird depressiusculd, anfractibiiK supeme ventricosis, 

 lavibus ; iimhilico subprofundo ; aperturd pyriformi- 

 ovatd, perarn,pld; intense olivaced, extws corned, ob- 

 scure nigro fasciatd, labro intense nstulato-rufo. 



The noble Ampullaria. Shell somewhat pyriformly 

 globose, spire rather depressed, whorls ventricose 

 round the upper part, smooth ; umbilicus rather deep ; 

 aperture pyriformly ovate, very large; dark olive, 

 externally horny, obscurely black-banded, lip deep 

 burnt red. 



3ab. River Marafion ; Mr. Yates. 



This fine species, of a pyriformly globose shape, with a 



dark olive horny exterior, is painted within the lip with a 



peculiar deep-toned burnt red. 



Species 9. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Ampullaria Paludinoides. Amp. testa gloiiosa, spira 

 mediocri, anfractibus rotundatis, ad suturam subde- 

 pressis, Icevibm ; wnbilico subobtecto ; sordide olivaced, 

 labro flavicatite. 



The Paludina-like Ampullaria. Shell globose, spire 

 middling, whoris rounded, a little depressed at the 

 suture, smooth ; umbilicus nearly covered ; dull olive, 

 lip yellowish. 



Christofori and Jan, Mus. Berolin. Philippi in Kiister, 

 Conch. Cab. Amp. p. 27. pi 7. f. 4. 



Hah. ? 



Distinguished by its plump, rounded form and dark 



olive colour, the lip being coloured in a characteristic 



manner, with pale yellow. 



Species 10. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Ampullaria conica. Amp. testd subglobosd, spird sub- 

 promimild, anfractibus eonvexis, leeviJiUs, nitentibus ; 

 nmbilico obtecto; aperturd ovatd, labro vix reflexo ; 

 fulvo-olivaeed, labro albicante. 

 The conical Ampullaria. Shell subglobose, spire 

 rather prominent, whorls convex, smooth, shining; 

 umbilicus covered; aperture ovate, lip scarcely re- 

 flected ; fulvous olive, lip whitish. 

 Wood, 



Uab. ? 



The spire has a more prominently convoluted aspect 

 than in the preceding species, from the last whori rather 

 more than usually descending next the aperture. In co- 

 lour the shell is of a lighter fulvous olive.
