A number of specimens of this form are before me. They differ 

 from A. borneensis Rv. only in being more distinctly striated and 

 darker colored. The largest specimen I have seen measures, length 

 43, breadth 39, alt. 9 mill. 



Var. borneensis Reeve. PI. 35, figs. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. 



Shell rounded-oval, rather thin, depressed, the apex at about the 

 anterior third ; slopes convex ; surface nearly smooth, but obscurely 

 radiately striated ; dull-grayish-white Avith close hair-like radiating 

 black lines and more or less speckled with brown or blackish, these 

 last markings frequently forming obscure darker rays ; sometimes 

 blackish all over. 



Inside bluish-white, with a wide dark border and a small brown 

 central area. Muscle-scar inconspicuous, remote from the margin. 



Length 29, width 24, alt. 7 mill.

 17, f. 38 (shell). — A. Bichnorei Dall viss. 



A depressed species, nearly smooth, hair-lined with deep brown 

 or black and more or less speckled with the same color. I have 

 seen none with the rays so pronounced as in Reeves figure. 



A. FLUViATiLis Blanford. PI. 35, figs. 40, 41, 42. 



Shell much depressed, conical, subcirciilarly oval, thin, covered 

 with a very dark olive epidermis, always eroded at the subcentral 

 apex ; marked Avith fine radiating raised lines, and with close and 

 minute concentric strife of growth. 



Inside the shell is bluish-white, sometimes with one or more 

 milky concentric bands, or the whole interior is milky, except the 

 cavity of the apex which is invariably ferruginous. (Blan.f.)

This species is found on rocks, rarely on trunks of trees, in many 

 of the creeks near high-water mark, in brackish water. It was not 

 met with near the sea, where the water was very salt. The foot is
