- Some Observations on the Genus Amoria, with Descriptions of some 
new Varieties. By Dr. J. E. Gray, F.R.S., &e. 
This genus, which consists of the polished Volutes, contains five 
species, all from Australia. They may be divided thus :—1. The 
spire nodulose; apex small, subpapillary (4. lineata, Leach, Mis- 
cellist: ). 2. The spire smooth; apex small, subpapillary (A. 
Zebra, Lamk.). 3. Spire smooth; apex large, subpapillary (4. wndu- 
lata, Lamk.). 4. Spire smooth, conical, with an acute tip (A. reticu- 
lata, Reeve, and A. Turneri, Gray). All except the last are very 
permanent in their markings; the latter species is very variable in 
that respect, and offers several very well-marked varieties. They all 
agree in having a more or less dark or dark-spotted, thin, callous 
coat over the suture. The varieties may be thus defined :— 
1. 4. Turneri has the shell solid, white, with regular, rather broad, 
brown lines, rather oblique to the axis of the shell, with distinct 
sutural spots. This form I originally described as Voluta Turnert 
many years ago. 
2. A. T.Jamrachiiis very like the former ; but the shell is thinner, 
the stripes are narrower and further apart, and the spots on the 
sutures are very small or absent.
