212 LAND AND FRESHWATER 
With globose tumid Vitrina-like shells, the aperture large and 
expanded. Sculpture smooth, or with an irregular, wavy 
surface not amounting to ribbing.

This is a species I had long wished to see, and again I am 
indebted to Mr. Theobold for the specimens I now figure and de- 
scribe; the preservation by him of these forms in spirit has proved 
invaluable, and places another species in its true position. 
Original description :—“ V. testa subdepressa, peripheria aurt- 
formis ; solidula superne plicato-striata striisque spiralibus sub lente 
notata, cneo-macante, olivaceo-fulva ; spira parum elata; sutura 
anguste albo marginata ; anfr. 43, conveaiusculis, ultimo magno, 
imfra medium obsoletissime angulato, basi levigato, nitidiore ; 
apertura diagonal, lunato-ovali, intus margaritacea ; perist. simplice, 
margine dextro subrepando columellart arcuato, superne triangula- 
tim reflexo, adnato. 
* Diam. maj. 33, minor 24; alt. 17-18 mill. 
‘“* Hab, Scinde, India (Dr. Alew. Fleming).” 
This locality must be a mistake; I cannot believe a species so con- 
stituted could live in sueh a dry country or survive the long, rain- 
less summer and its great heat, and the type is in every respect 
identical with specimens from the Murree Hills, Punjab. 
The specimen figured measures:—Major diam. 34:5, minor 
28:0, alt. axis 14:0 mm. 
The animal (figs. 1 and 1a) on examination proves to be a true 
Macrochlamys and not a Helicarion, as supposed by some con- 
chologists. ‘The right shell-lobe is well developed, as well as the 
left shell-lobe, the left dorsal lobe being simple. The mucous pore 
(fig. 1 4) is large, the orifice not extending to the plane of the foot, 
and there is a very distinct overhanging lobe. The pallial line is 
very distinctly marked, The generative organs are almost identical 
with those of Oxytvs orobia (vide P). XXXII). The male organ has 
the same disk-like coil where the retractor musele is given off. The 
kale-sac is rather longer. The amatorial organ is very large. 
Most fortunately the spermatheca in the specimen examined was 
found to contain three spermatophores in a most perfect state of 
preservation—two empty, one full. These and those found in O. 
labiata, described further on, clear up a good deal of uncertainty which 
existed in my mind as to the form, when entire, and the exact
