This variety is about the same size as the type, but the semi- 

 cells are more trapeziform, possessing broader apices. The 

 outline is but faintly undulate (much less undulate than in the 

 type), and the granules are very broad towards the centre of the 

 semi-cells, of almost inappreciable elevation and sinuous in out- 

 line (hence the name, var. am(ieb2i7n). 



Length, 87-90 /x; breadth, 60-67 /^5 breadth of apex, 2 5-2 7 /x; 

 breadth of isthmus, 21 /x. ; thickness, 40 ^a.
