I obtained one imperfect specimen at Shoukbeng on the Prome and 
Tongoop road, close to the summit of the hills.

Hab. prcpe Tongoop in Arakan. 
This very pretty and distinct little species occurred rarely at the 
roots of trees near Thaloo and Bundiyo, on the Prome and Tongoop 
road, not far from the last-named place. It combines the canalicu¬ 
late inner peristome of A. succineus with an ear-shaped process like 
that at the base of A. polygonoma, while the ridge on the peristome 
is curved backwards in a similar manner to that in A. hebes, Bens. 
A. gemmula , Bens, and A. Footei, Blanf, although much less elevated 
than in either of those species, to which the shell now described has 
otherwise but little resemblance. The somewhat flattened base is 
peculiar. 
The preceding 7 species shew how numerous must be the forms 
belonging to this peculiar and well marked little genus. Ten species, 
including A. imbonalis , armillatus and sculp tills of Mr. Benson, 
have now been described from the partially explored provinces of 
Pegu and Arakan.*
