of its crenulated peiistome, besides other peculiarities. 
The Alycceus from the Andaman islands lately described by Mr. 
Benson (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist, for January, 1S61) probably re¬ 
sembles A. Ingrami in size and general shape. I have not had the 
opportunity of seeing A. Andamanire, B. which is, however, clearly 
distinct from the present species on account of the characters of the 
spire, suture, sculpture, &c. 
T have much pleasure in naming this form after Captain Ingram, 
to whom I am indebted for a very large collection of shells, chiefly 
from Arakan and the Arakan hills, and embracing altogether about 
50 species, several of which had escaped my own search. 
A. Ingrami was found in only one spot, viz. in earth at the sides 
oi a large mass of limestone about 3 miles S. W. of Tongoop. There

Hab. ad Akouktoung, ad ripas fluminis Irawaddi, in provincia 
Burmana Pegu. 
A solitary specimen of this species, slightly weathered and shewing 
more sculpture than usual, was found by me in April, ISO I, close to 
My a noung, on the banks of the Irrawaddy. With it I found a fe v 
other shells ; amongst them a small variety of J Bulimus cccnopictus, 
Hul t. and as this shell is not known to inhabit Pegu, but has since 
occurred to me in the neighbourhood of Ava, I was inclined to sup¬ 
pose that A. humilis was also derived from that neighbourhood.
