Our figure is taken from a type lent us by Mr. W. 
Blanford, to whose liberality and profound knowledge 
of Indian Malacology the authors have been frequently 
indebted.

The conspicuously punctulate shagreen is an im¬

PLATE CXIII. 
AMPULLARIA. 
1. A. cinerea, Reeve, Conch. Icon. Ampul, f. 94. 
Ceylon. 
The throat is usually chestnut, and there are 
obscure bands under the epidermis as indicated by the 
description. 
2. A. corrugata, Swainson, Zool. Illust. ser. 1, pi. 
120 (badly copied in Ivuster’s ed. Chemn. Ampul, 
pi. 1, f. 10). 
Bengal; Pondicherry, teste Belanger. 
The only individual known to us agrees fairly with 
the drawing of Swainson, who having cited, as a 
synonym, the A. rugosa of Sowerby’s genera (which 
looks more like globosa) induced Deshayes to identify 
both with his A. sphaerica (Encycl. Meth. Yers). Can 
it be an abnormal form of the next species ? 
3. A. globosa, Swainson, Zool. Illust. ser. 1, pi. 
119.—Philippi, Monog. Ampul. (Kust. ed. Chemn.) 
p. 8, pi. 1, f. 3.—Reeve, Conch. Icon. Amp. f. 46, 
47. 
Calcutta; Rohilkhund; Orissa, &c. 
A common shell which attains much larger dimen¬ 
sions than here exhibited: occasionally its peritreme is 
tinted with orange red, so as to remind one strongly of 
Crouch’s ideal of A. Guyanensis (Crouch, Lam. pi. 
15, f. 18). The A. rotundata of Say (erroneously 
described as American, but with a testaceous oper¬ 
culum) is supposed to be a form of this species. 
4. A. globosa, var. sphaerica, from Moradabad. 
5. A. globosa, var. fasciata, from Moradabad. 
PLATE CXIV. 
AMPULLARIA. 
1. A. earinata, Swainson, Zool. Ill. ser. 2, from 
which Philip. Mon. Ampul, (in Kust. ed. Chemn.) 
pi. 1, f. 2—p Reeve, Conch. Icon. Ampul, f. 58. 
Ceylon. 
This is not the species so named by Lamarck (as the 
Cyclostoma carinatum of Olivier) which belongs to the 
sinistral genus Lanistes. It is chiefly distinguishable 
from the next species by the greater breadth of the 
penult whorl, and the sharper sutural angulation. 
2. A. Malabariea, Philippi (not Reeve), Mon. 
Ampul. (Kust. ed. Chemn.) p. 39, pi. 7, f. 8. 
Cochin, Malabar; Bombay. 
Very closely allied to the preceding, and not im¬ 
probably a local variety. Yet the upper whorls of the 
spire (which is more exserted) are rounded. The 
young type of Reeve’s Malabariea (f. 67) does not 
exhibit the flat infrasutural ledge referred to by 
Philippi. The A. pallens of Philippi (Kust. ed. Chemn. 
Ampul, p. 32) may possibly prove the variety we have 
received from Cashmire. Reeve’s A. canaliculata, said 
to have been taken in Cashmire, seems the young of 
A. speciosa. 
3. A. Tisehbeini, Dohrn, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858. 
Ceylon. 
Copied from the type in the British Museum. 
4. A. Layardi, Reeve, Conch. Icon. Ampul, f. 27, 
40. 
Ceylon.
