A number of specimens of this form are before me. They differ 

 from A. borneensis Rv. only in being more distinctly striated and 

 darker colored. The largest specimen I have seen measures, length 

 43, breadth 39, alt. 9 mill. 



VAR. BORNEENSIS Reeve. 'PL 35, figs. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. 



Shell rounded-oval, rather thin, depressed, the apex at about the 

 anterior third ; slopes convex ; surface nearly smooth, but obscurely 

 radiately striated ; dull-grayish-white with close hair-like radiating 

 black lines and more or less speckled with brown or blackish, these 

 last markings frequently forming obscure darker rays ; sometimes 

 blackish all over.

 with a very dark olive epidermis, always eroded at the subcentral
