 plano-declivibus, medio gibbodusculis, tenue plicato- 

 striatis et malleatk ; nigricante-olivaced, prope mtu- 

 ram fulvescente ; aperturd ovatd, labro vix rejlexo. 

 The gloomy Ampullaria. Shell globose, rather deeply 

 umbilicated, spire moderate, whorls flatly slanting 

 round the upper part, somewhat gibbous in the 

 middle, finely plicately striated and malleated ; dark 

 olive, yellowish next the suture ; aperture ovate, lip 

 scarcely reflected. 

 Uab. ? 



The most characteristic feature of this species is the 

 gibbous expansion of the whorls, after flatly sloping from 

 the suture. 



Species 119. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Metcalfe.) 

 Ampullakia Metcalfei. Amp. testa compresse ovatd, 

 subtus excavatd, vix umbilieatd, spird parvd, acumi- 

 nata, anfraclibus snperne obtuse angulatis, deinde 

 planO'Convexis, longitudinaliter striatis; fulvescente- 

 olivaced, nigra irregidariter faseiatd; aperturd am-

Figs. 11 b, and 131. (Mus. Metcalfe.) 



The shells here figured, and which should have been 



numbered \i b and 13 c, are fine characteristic examples 



of Sp. 13, A. pill/la, a species described at PI. III. from 



an obscure specimen in an immature stage of growth. 



Species 120. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 

 Ampullabia miltocheilus. Amp. testd globosd, solidd, 

 subampUter profunde umbilicata, spird parviuscald, 

 anfractibus rotundatis, spiraliter corrugatis et mallea-

 illic tinctd et vittatd ; aperitird ovatd, labro solide 

 reflexo, i7ite>ise aurantio-miniato.
