This species has been inadvertently figured in the ' Conchological 

 Illustrations' under the name oi Luzonicus, having previously been 

 figured by De F^russac in his ' Hist. Nat. des Mollusques terrestres et 

 fluviatiles,'tab. ir2.f.5,6, and described in the 'Encycl. M<?thod.. by 

 Brugui&re* under the name of ovoideus, which name must of course 

 be retained. Brugui^re's specimen was quite white ; those figured 

 by Lister and De Ferussac liad a single dark band. Mr. Cuming 

 has brought the following varieties : — 



a. White, the anterior part of the first three volutions light brown.
