sculptilis, B. which, however, is easily distinguished by the characters 

 of its crenulated peristome, besides other peculiarities. 



The Alycceus from the Andaman islands lately described by Mr. 

 Benson (Ann. and Mag, Nat. Hist, for January, 1861) probably re- 

 sembles A. Ingrami in size and general shape. I have not had the 

 opportunity of seeing A. Andamaniae, B. which is, however, clearly 

 distinct from the present species on account of the characters of the 

 spire, suture, sculpture, &c. 



I have much pleasure in naming this form after Captain Ingram, 

 to whom I am indebted for a very large collection of shells, chiefly 

 from Arakan and the Arakan hills, and embracing altogether about 

 50 species, several of which had escaped my own search. 



A. Ingrami was found in only one spot, viz. in earth at the sides 

 of a large mass of limestone about 3 miles S. W. of Tongoop. There 

 it was abundant.

A solitary specimen of this species, slightly weathered and shewing 

 more sculpture than usual, was found by me in April, 186 J, close to 

 Myanoung, on the banks of the Irrawaddy. With it I found a few 

 other shells ; amongst them a small variety of JBulimus ccsnopictus, 

 Hutt. and as this shell is not known to inhabit Pegu, but has since 

 occurred to me in the neighbourhood of Ava, I was inclined to sup- 

 pose that A. Jmmilis was also derived from that neighbourhood.
