Species 116. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Hanley.) 

 Ampullaeia citreum. Amp. testa oblongo-globosd, siib- 

 ampliter umbilicatd, spird mediocri, anfractibus ad 

 suturam impressis, deiiide convexis, obscure malleatis, 

 circa ■umUlicum- obttise angulatis ; pallide fulvd out 

 virescente, interdum olivaceo fasciatd; aperturd pyri- 

 formi-oblongd, intus aurantio-rufd. 

 The citron Ampullaria. Shell oblong-globose, rather 

 largely umbilicated, spire moderate, whorls impressed 

 at the suture, then convex, obscurely uialleated, ob- 

 tusely angled round the umbilicus ; pale-fulvous, or 

 greenish, sometimes banded with olive ; aperture 

 pyriformly oblong, orange-red within. 



Uah. ? 



A fine species, of very distinct character, peculiarly ob- 

 tusely angled ro\uid the umbilicus. 



Species 117. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 

 Ampullaria picta. Amp. testa oblongo-ven-tricosd, am- 

 pliler prof mule umbilicatd, spird mediocri, anfractibus 

 ad suturam planulatis, deinde plano-convexis, circa 

 umbilicum obtuse angulatis; virescente, fasciis lineisque 

 olivaceis numerosis cingulatd ; aperturd oblongo-ovatd, 

 intus aurantio-miniaid. 

 The painted Ampullaria. Shell oblong-ventricose, 

 largely deeply umbilicated, spire moderate, whorls 

 rather flattened at the suture, then flatly convex, ob- 

 tusely angled round the umbilicus; gi-eenish, en- 

 circled with numerous olive bands and lines ; aperture 

 obloug-ovate, orange-vermilion within. 



IM. ? 



Closely allied to the preceding species, especially in the 

 peculiar obtusely angled structure of the whorl around the 

 umbilicus, but uniformly distinct in all its stages of growth 

 in general contour.
