AMPHIDEOMUS. 179 



mate subincrassato, breviter reflexo, albo, marginibus callo nigro- 

 castaneo junctis. 



" Long. 47, diam. 20 mill." (Pfeiffer.) 



Hah. Burma: Tavoy, Mergui (r7<eo6aM). 



Pfeiffer, when describing the species, gave the habitat " New 

 Hebrides" from information supplied by Cuming, whose " habitats" 

 have on so many occasions proved erroneous or unreliable. 

 Gassies attributed the species to New Caledonia, also on the 

 strength of a specimen, so-labelled, received by him from Cuming ! 

 Both these localities may be ignored and Burma taken to be the 

 true habitat, the species having been collected at Mergui by 

 Theobald, as recorded by Nevill in his ' Hand List of Mollusca in 

 the Indian Museum.' The shell, moreover, figured in Conch. Ind. 

 as atricallosus, from Tavoy, has been referred — correctly I think — 

 to the present species by Pilsbry, who considers that it " stands 

 •quite alone for an Amphidromus, having no close companions."

Original description : — "Testa solida, iinperforata, oblongo-ovata, 

 vix striata, sulphurea ; anfr. 7 convexiusculis, ad suturam con- 

 strictis ; apertura luuato-ovali, basi sub-effusa, labro albo, reflexo, 

 marginibus callo atro junctis. 



'• Long. 2^, lat. 1 poll." 



" Shell imperforate, elongated ovate, solid, smooth, and shining, 

 ■of a sulphur-yellow colour ; whorls seven, moderately convex, 

 somewhat girt in near the suture ; last whorl nearly two-thirds 

 the length of the shell; aperture ovate-lunate, somewhat angular 

 at liase, and slightly effuse ; lips white, widely revolute, not 

 flattened ; columella white, the callus uniting the extremities of 

 the peristome, and, as far within the shell as can be seen, pitchy- 

 black ; from the midst of it, extending across the penult, whorl, is 

 .a line of the same color, showing the termination of a former 

 stage of growth. 



" Length 2^ [ = 59 mm.] ; breadth 1 inch [ = 25 mm.]." (Gould.)
