Shell near an inch and three-quarters long, and half as broad, 

 glabrous, obtuse, reddish, with darker red longitudinal 

 waved bands ; whirls four, gibbous ; aperture ovate, con-

 Voluta Auris Malchi, Var. y. Gmelin, p. 3437. 

 Bulimus Australis. Bruguiere Enc. Meth. p. 347. 



Inhabits Australasia, and is a land shell. Chemnitz. 



Shell near an inch long, and half an inch broad, of a dull 

 brown colour with a darker band round the base of the 

 body-whirl, which follows the spiral turns at the suture. It 

 is totally unlike V. Auris Malchi, to which Gmelin has at- 

 tached it as a Variety. 



auris-virginis. 8. Shell oval-oblong, rose-coloured 

 with a white band at the suture; aperture 

 ear-shaped ; pillar toothless.

 Lister Conch, t. 24. f. 22. 



Inhabits the East Indies, and is a land shell. Chemnitz. 



Shell about an inch and a half long, and nearly half as broad, 

 shining, covered every where with minute wrinkles. I have 

 followed Chemnitz in placing it with this family, for the 

 aperture is ear-shaped, and the pillar, though not properly 

 toothed, is sinuous, and has a sharp projecting angle.
