length, instead of one fifth ; if the latter were the case, the shell would be an 
extremely slender one, and comparing it with Oouldiana, as a shell of the 
same type, I would prefer to consider Gould’s figure as more probably correct, 
than his measurement. Now, allowing for these discrepancies in Gould’s ori- 
ginal statements, I am inclined to think that Pfeiffer’s species is very closely 
allied to, if not exactly identical with, ti-ue insignis, hut Hanley and Theo- 
bald’s figures certainly seem to he somewhat different from both the preced- 
ing ; however, they do not exclude the possibility ol representing mere 
variations of one and the same species. Whether the form of the aperture in 
Gould's original figure is slightly exaggerated or not,' I think the great ex- 
pansion of the outer lip is decidedly somewhat abnormal, and setting aside 
this point the remaining differences between the shells figured as insignis 
are not greater than those between the different varieties ol loxostoma or 
Oouldiana. 
In order to clear up the matter more easily I add here (fig 12«) a copy 
of Pfeiffer’s figure of insignis. I greatly regret that I have not got the oppor- 
tunity of examining Mr. Theobald’s two type specimens, figured in the 
Conchologia Indica as ‘ insignis' and var. gracilior, but possibly I may be 
in a position to supply the deficiency in the next number of the Journal. 
15. Cl. vespa. (Ad p. 205.) 
The shell delineated by Mr. Blanford as a variety of vespa may be con- 
sidered as a fair representation of that species ; but I add a figure (15a) 
and description of a specimen obtained by Mr. Theobald at 1 avoy , whence 
vespa was originally got, and which is undoubtedly Gould s species. 
(15a). Cl. testa ovato-cglindracea, ad apicem obtusiuscula, albida, medio 
subinflata, ultimo anfractu sensim attenuate, haud rimata, fusco castanea ; 
anfractibus sex, convexiusculis, sutura simplici junctis, transversim oblique et 
confertissime striolatis ; aperlura subovata, postice rotundate subungulata, 
antice late sub-efusa, intus violaceo rufa, peritremate modice expanso, interno 
oblique fere recto, libero, biplicato ; plica antica, vel infer iore, vaJde obliqua, 
sub-immersa ; plicis palatalibus novem tenuibus, supera longissima, ciiciter 
1-2 m.m. a margine suturali distante, alteris brevioribus et inter se valde 
inaqualibus. 
Long. 24.6 m.m., lat. 7 ; long, apert. cumperist. 6 3, ejusdem lat. 4'8 m.m 
Although allied to Phillippiana the present form is undoubtedly quite 
distinct, differing from Pfeiffer’s species by a piore slender shape, smaller 
aperture, free inner lip, peculiarly flattened or almost canaliculated aperture 
on the anterior end, and by the larger number ot palatal plicae.
