shell in the sf npn Collection; this shell and the one 
delineated on the e plate as figs. 4 and 5, also from the 
same collection, are ied ib connecting links to Reeve’s javanica, 
as Kobelt thought, but specimens of true A. javanica. Kobelt 
examined the type of this latter form and found that it is 
much more rounded than is represented in Reeve’s figure. 
in a recent paper! included Reeve’s javanica in the 
synonymy of conica, but was not sure as to whether it was a 
distinct variety. Having now examined a fair series of shells, 
I am of opinion that the Javanese species deserves to be con- 
sidered as a distinct variety. 
elt’s figures 8 and 9, of a shell from Boettger’s collec- 
tion labelled Ampullaria conica var. orientalis, Phil., which he 
included here, but was doubtful as to whether it was not a 
distinct form, is only a young specimen of —: Reeve, 
which, in my opinion, is only a variety of P. conic 
Pachylabra conica (Gray) var. compacta (Reeve).

xiii, figs. 3-9. 
As I have noted already in my notes on the species 
P. conica, I consider this form to be only a variety of that 
species. Kobelt’s figures on plate xlii are all correctly referred 
to this species, but as I have already noted, his figures 8 and 9 
on Taf. xl, is also of a young shell of this species, and so is also 
the figure of paludinoides, copied from ‘“ Conchologia Iconica ” 
as fig. 3 (Taf. xliii).

The figure cited above, which Kobelt copied from “ Con- 
chologia Indica ”’ is, as I have satisfied myself by saat ana 
of the original specimen in the British Museum, London, 
specimen of this variety.
