196 ZONITIDJE. 



projecting from the side ; much broader than Girasia hookeri,. 

 covered with an olive epidermis showing lines of growth. 



Major diam. about 22, min. about 14 mm. 



Animal ochre-colour, prettily mottled and dotted with a darker 

 shade of the same ; the mantle covers nearly the whole shell ; a 

 narrow white line commencing near the posterior margin of the 

 slit disclosing the shell extends round towards the respiratory 

 orifice on the right-hand side, and in front another line curves 

 round to the left anterior side. Length about 3 inches.

Shell oval, fairly solid, smooth, shining, colour pale olive ; apex 

 small, not projecting, very closely wound ; whorls about 1| ; 

 aperture ovate, occupying nearly the whole shell, only about a 

 ninth being taken up by the reflected whorl, columellar margin 

 evenly sinuate. 



Major diam. 11, min. 6j, height about 3 mm.

Animal dark umber to pinkish grey, much speckled throughout, 

 and with black lines on the side of the foot. Dorsal lobe ample, 

 extending round to the left posterior side ; right dorsal lobe rather 

 small. The right shell-lobe is expanded over the apex, but is 

 hardly connected behind ; the left shell-lobe is narrow and laps 

 over the peristome, but does not join the other lobe. The 

 posterior margin and apex of the shell rests in a V-sbaped de- 

 pression of the ridge of the foot, and the hinder part of the foot 

 thence to the mucous gland is very short. 



The teeth of the radula are thus arranged : 40 . 15 . 1 . 15 . 40 

 (55 . 1 . 55). The inner laterals (admedians) have a well-formed 

 cusp on the outer basal side ; the outer laterals are very pointed 

 and curved, with the outer cusp quite basal.

Shell close to A. cacharica^ but considerably stronger and the 

 apex thicker. The columellar margin of the peristome is much 

 incurved. 



Major diam. 14|-, min. 9, height 4J mm. A smaller specimen 

 measures 9 mm. in major diameter.

This may be the same as the last, but the shell shows slight 

 differences. The animal is not known.
