Some Observations on the Genus Amoria, with Descriptions of some 



new Varieties. By Dr. J. E. Gray, F.R.S., &c. 

 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 {A. lineata. Leach, Mis- 

 cell, t. ). 2. The spire smooth; apex small, subpapillary {A. 

 Ze5m,Lamk.). 3. Spire smooth; apex large, subpapillary {A. undu- 

 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. A. 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 Turneri 

 many years ago. 



2. A. T.Jamrachii is 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.
