Our specimen bears more resemblance to the charac- 

 teristic variety f. 40, than to the less strikingly distinc- 

 tive figure 27 in Reeve's Iconica.

 Ampul, p. 27, pi. 7, f. 4 (as of De Cristofori and 

 Jan). — Eeeve, Conch. Icon. Ampul, f. 9. 



Mangalore ; near Moulmein ; Pegu. 

 Jan's species should be ignored, for it is so inade- 

 quately defined, that his description would suit half a 

 score of Ampullariae : it is not likely to be the shell 

 here figured, as it is called umbilicated and South 

 American. 



6, 7. A. Paludinoides, var. 



A peculiar banded form from Pegu. Figure 7 

 reminds us of the Reevean (Conch. Icon. Ampul, f 10) 

 ideal of A. conica, a Singapore shell, which Mr. Hanley 

 carefully identified with the young original type, and 

 figured in his Conchological Miscellany. Von Martens 

 states that Reeve's ideal is not that of Pfeiffer in his 

 Novitates.

1. A. nax, Reeve, Conch. Icon. Ampul, f. 132. 



Small streams from Bore Ghat; Bombay; 

 Dekkan. 



2. A. Theobaldi, Hanley. 



Birmah ? or Pegu ? 

 This magnificent shell was given to Mr. Hanley by 

 his coadjutor, but the precise locality was mislaid.

Bassein, Pegu.

Pegu. 



Oiu- specimen is selected from its extreme dissimi- 

 larity to the preceding, yet the spire is occasionally 

 even still more depressed.

Ceylon. 



The only two individuals known to us are in the 

 British Museum. 



6. A. maesta, Reeve, Conch. Icon. Ampull. f. 92. 



Ceylon. 



Our figure was taken from the Cumingian type, now 

 in the British Museum. 



7. P. digona, Blanford, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1869, p. 

 445. 



River L-awaddy, Birmah. 

 The individual here figured exhibits the distinctive 

 features in a remarkable degree. The author alludes 

 to the possibility of his shell being a variety of dis- 

 similis ; its affinities seem rather zonata, filosa and 

 lineolata. 



8. P. variata, Frauenfeld, Verhandl. Zool. Bot. Wien, 

 1862, p. 1163 (as Vivipara v.). 



The individual figured was the original Pondicherry 

 specimen named by the author : Reeve's (Conch. Icon. 

 Palud. f. 58) seems either a squat form of dissimilis 

 or Remossii.

 Benson for this shell, in the fifth volume of the Zoolo- 

 gical Journal (1834) without any specific denomination.
