that T regret liavins; to return it to the Indian iMuscum at 

 Calcutta. On comparing this species with A. modestum of 

 Keeve, with which it has been united, there seem to be 

 sutlicient diftcrences to warrant tlicir separation. The 

 sculpture on the base of the last whorl is much finer in 

 A. modvsium, and the groove in the umbilical region of 

 A. yiryijllus is absent in the Japanese form. There are also 

 dift'erences of colour.
