The reddish specimens of winteri reported upon by von Martens, 

 from Bandjar, Java, apparently belong to this race ; and I refer here 

 also a pink specimen with some yellow streaks, purple-black varices, 

 pale spire and yellow apical whorls (pi. 48, figs. 11, 12). Fulton 

 remarks as follows : "The color of this species varies from yellow 

 with only two or three reddish-brown stripes to specimens that are 

 almost covered with variegated green and red-brown oblique mark- 

 ings. The spiral lines, as seen in the type specimen, are in most 

 specimens not so distinct, but traces of them can be found in nearly 

 all. This species has been distributed under the manuscript names 

 of Prillwitzi and pcecilus, both of Boettger." 



A specimen from coll. G. H. Clapp (pi. 46, figs. 19, 20) is yellow 

 on the spire, becoming obscure olive with some purplish streaks on 

 the last whorl, and with the umbilical area and a sutural zone pale 

 yellow ; there are also faint traces in places of several light bands. 

 The penultimate whorl has a dark varix and some brownish streaks. 

 Spiral striae distinct in places. This specimen is referable to 

 Boettger's unpublished variety pcecilus, and establishes a transition 

 toward A- robustus. 



A. heerianus seems closely allied to both palaceus and winteri, and 

 specimens probably occur uniting the three. 



Var. robustus Fulton. PL 46, fig. 21. 



" Shell sinistral, ovate-conic, solid, obliquely striate, almost im- 

 perforate, white, with two brown spiral bands commencing at third 

 whorl, above and below the suture, and continued to last whorl, 

 which has in addition one, and sometimes two other bands on its 

 lower half; whorls 7, convex; lip and columella white, expanded, 

 margins joined by a white callus. Long. 50 mill., maj. diam. 31 

 mill." (Fulton}. Bandjar, Java.

This is the form von Martens considered an individual variation 

 of A. winteri. 1 have not seen specimens.
