by a simple short bend in a coecum-like process, the retractor muscle rising 
beyond and above this.” | 
“The other species, Platychlamys, presents far greater diversity when 
compared with species of Macrochlamys. The broad shell-lobes cover the 
shell almost completely in life, and the generative organs are on a very 
different plan, and comparatively simple in detail, The examination of the 
Ceylon shell regulata presented anatomical characters of the same type, and 
I have therefore placed these two species ina new subgenus, Eurychlamys. 
The most interesting fact in connection with this particular development 
is the discovery that a Sikkim and Bhutan species, pianospira, must be 
included with them, I previously placed planospira, on account of its 
shell-lobes and shell (besides not taking into sufficient consideration 
all the details of its internal anatomy), in Austenia, butit will 
be seen that its anatomy does not at all resemble that of the latter 
genus,”
