Philippi’s figure is unmistakeable, whereas Reeve’s, fig. 93, is 
very indifferent. The sculpture is very variable, occasionally 
unusually developed. Mr. Smith, P. Zool., 8. 1878, appears 
to consider this Andaman form as L. venfricosa and compares 
it with his L. melanacme and L.’ novae-zelandia.

Long. 9, diam. [vix] 8 mil. This form, exactly represented 
by Frauenfeld’s fig. c., of coarser sculpture than the type, is un- 
doubtedly only a var. of L. ventricosa; if it prove to be Gray’s 
species, as I expect it will, this latter name will have priority. 
The specimen, from the same province of Ceylon as the next 
form, L. nove-zelandice, has induced me to believe the latter 
a distinct species? I can perceive, however, no difference 
except that of sculpture, and the shorter, more ventricose form 
of L. ventricosa and its var. subgranularis, both characters very 
variable in this species.

I am convinced this species was never found in New Zealand.
