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). — Reeve, 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 Ampullarise : 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. Yon Martens 
states that Reeve’s ideal is not that of Pfeiffer in his 
Novitates.

1. A. nux, 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. 
4. A. Saxea, var. Reeve. 
Pegu. 
Our specimen is selected from its extreme dissimi- 
larity to the preceding, yet the spire is occasionally 
even still more depressed.

The only two individuals known to us are in the 
British Museum. 
6. A. msesta, 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 Irawaddy, 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, Yerhandl. Zool. Bot. Wien, 
1862, p. 1163 (as Vivfpara 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. 
9. P. Ceylanica, Dohrn, var. ecarinata. 
Common in Ceylon.

The generic appellation of Scaphula was proposed by 
Benson for this shell, in the fifth volume of the Zoolo- 
gical Journal (1834) without any specific denomination.
