Hab. E. Muxico: Coatepec above Jalapa, rather copiously (Doria Estefania 8, Hoge— 
only the var. pulcherrima); Quautlatitlan (Strebel; mus. Berol. no. 30738); 
Orizaba (Botteri "); probably also Cordova (Sadié *).

The variety is nearly allied to G. orizabe, but of smaller size, with more distinct 
costulation, especially on the upper whorls, and more distinct markings at the suture ; 
it has the varices very faintly coloured and in some specimens scarcely visible, whereas 
they are very distinct in the ‘type. Reeve’s figure® represents a more bulky form 
(long. 32, diam. 16, apert. 18 millim.) than I have ever seen.

Hab. Nicaragua: Realejo, on the leaves of shrubs (coll. Cuming 1~!°). 
The quoted descriptions and figures, although all giving Realejo (also written Real 
Llejos) as the locality, refer to two forms, which are distinct one from the other in 
size and shape. The smaller one, 163-19 millim. in length, and about half as much 
in breadth, is that first described and figured in Philippi’s work 1, and it is also repre- 
sented in Pfeiffer’s collection ; this is the only form of which I have specimens before 
me. The larger one, 26-28 millim. in length, and distinctly less than half this in 
breadth, is figured by Reeve and Deshayes; it very much resembles in its dimensions 
G. largillierti, from Guatemala and Yucatan, but it seems to be more smooth and 
shining. 
The very obtuse, nearly flat apex resembles that of G. audebardi; but in this 
species specimens of the same size and with the same number of whorls as G. obtusa 
clearly show the unequal denticles at the suture. Young specimens of G. monilifera
