Ampcllakia pkodicta. Amp. ientd oblongo-ovali, ad 

 basin prodactd, anguste umbiUcatd, umbilico fere ob-

The produced Ampullaria. Shell oblong-oval, pro- 

 duced at the base, narrowly umbilicated, umbilicus 

 almost obsolete, spire rather obtuse, whorls slanting, 

 and finely wrinkled at the upper part, then flatly 

 convex; olive, banded with reddish-chestnut; aper- 

 ture oblong, effused at the base, spotted at the edge. 



Hab. ? 



This species is chiefly characterized by its oblong-oval 



ibnu, produced and eftused at the base.
