This small species is somewhat convex, slightly inequilateral, the lunula is distinct, the beaks though small are a little raised and curve inwardly, the striae are regular and far apart, the epidermis is glossy and of a yellowish-green coloi', with distinct markingfs of dark violet on the beaks. Somewhat like the C. tumida from Borneo; it is, however, smaller, less heavy, more inequilateral, less convex, the striae are not so far^ apart, and the epidermis is of a lighter and brighter color. The C. Larnaiidieri, so called in honor of the Abbe Lar- naudier, was discovered in Siam by that gentleman, who formed part of the embassy sent to that country a few years since by the French Government; he only collected the two specimens now in my cabinet, which I obtained from him through Mr. Bernard! of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Lyceum of Natural History (New York, N.
