78 . THE NAUTILUS. 



ber of this journal, (his was listed as G. yundlachi. Mr. Geo. H. 

 Clapp, who obtained some of Rhoads' specimens, directed my atten- 

 to its distinctness. G. gundlachi occurs at a neighboring locality, 

 Lemon City, Fla., as well as throughout the St. John's valley, and 

 in west Florida probably extending all over the peninsula. It was 

 collected by Mr. Singley at Hidalgo, Texas, and is a well-known 

 West Indian and Mexican species. G. yundlachi is invariably 

 characterized by the presence of a sculpture of very minute regular 

 and close, spiral stria?, as mentioned in the descriptions of Pfeiffer, 

 von Martens and others, and as I have confirmed in numerous speci- 

 mens from Florida, Texas, Mexico and the West Indies.

Yakushima, Osumi. Types no. 85752 A. N. S. P., from no. 895 

 of Mr. Hirase's collection. 



This race has the small, contracted umbilicus of E. I. nesiotica, but 

 it differs in the very small size and conic spire. 



Ganesella moellendorjjiana n. sp. 



Shell openly umbilicate, depressed, with low conic; spire, the base 

 concave around the moderately open umbilicus, one-tenth the diameter 

 of the shell ; thin, reddish brown, with a narrow, darker band above 

 and a pale band at the periphery. Surface glossy, weakly marked

 Whorls (i, convex, very slowly and regularly increasing, the last but
