"Larger than the Khasia A. prosectus, from which it is 

 abundantly distinguished by the characters of the aperture, the 

 less mucronafe spire, its peculiar striation and lustre, shorter 

 sutural tube, and the greater inflation of the last whorl. In prosectus 

 the space between tlie constriction and the aperture is suddenly 

 tumid near the constriction, the swelling decreasing towards the 

 l)eristome; in physis the swelling increases gradually towards the 

 mouth, which is not inclined to be so very oblique. There are 

 faint indications of spiral sculpture evident in the facet-like 

 appearance of tlie surface. AVithin the umbilicus, near the 

 niflated part, every fourth or fifth of the scarcely elevated striae 

 (\.vhieh would elsevvliere be hardly distinguishable except for their 

 white opacity on the hyaline ground) is raised into a knife-like 

 edge. 



"In size and form A. physis nearly approaches umhonalu ; but 

 the colour, opakeness, great solidity, and the more moderate 

 inflation of the last whorl, in addition to the more remote con- 

 striction, and the very different sculpture presented by the 

 Burmese species, preclude any danger of confounding it with its 

 Himalayan ally." (Benson.) 



The specimen here figured is in the British iMuseum.

 small ; suture impressed, the sutural tube is short, stout, and 

 slightly bent over ; whorls 4, evenly increasino-, the last slightly 

 swollen near the sutural tube, then slightlv constricted, and
