truncata, semiovalis ; peristoma obtusum ; columella mediocriter arcuata, 

 antice oblique truncata. Long. 12, diam. 5%, ap. long. 4, lat. 2^ mm.

Var. Matheranica, PL Hi, fig. 19. 



Minor, magis polita, lineis spiralibus carentibus, sculptura in anfractu 

 ultimo obsolescenti. Long. 10 lat. 4^ mill. 



Hab. Mather an, haud procul a Bombay. 



This shell resembles in form A. Oreas, Bens., but is distinguished 

 from that and. all other allied species by its stronger sculpture. 

 Possibly the two varieties should be ranked apart, as there is consi- 

 derable difference between them. A third form, shorter and more 

 tumid, occurs near Poona. As other intermediate varieties proba- 

 bly exist, I prefer for the present classing all in one species, but it 

 may hereafter be desirable to distinguish them.
