THE NAUTILUS. 



Ganesella notoensis Pils. & Hir., n. sp. 



Shell im perforate, resembling G. stearmi and G. papilliformis in 

 general shape ; pale greenish-buff, thin, dull with the luster of silk, 

 but the early whorls are glossy, and there are some narrow, oblique, 

 glossy streaks. Smooth to the eye, but under a lens showing slight 

 growth-lines and almost obsolete spiral striation. Spire high, with 

 slightly convex outlines. Whorls 6^, moderately convex, the last 

 slowly descending in front, convex beneath. Aperture very oblique, 

 round-lunate, the peristome narrowly expanded, subreflexed ; colu- 

 mella vertical, narrow, dilated over the umbilicus and appressed. 

 Alt. 23, diarn. 19 mm. 



KitanoshO, Noto. Type no. 83892 A. N. S. P., from no. 289 c of 

 Mr. Hirase's collection. 



This is a pale species, differing from G. stearnsi in color and the 

 less convex whorls, which in stearnsi are swollen just below the suture. 

 In G. pagodula and G. papilliformis the columella is different in 

 shape. 



Ganesella cardiostoma var. kayaensis Pils. & Hir., n. var. 



Shell imperforate, somewhat globosely conic, light chestnut-colored, 

 with an indistinct, pale, peripheral band; thin, somewhat transj ar- 

 ent, smooth and glossy, slightly wrinkled by growth-lines, and very 

 densely, minute striate spirally. Spire conic, with convex outlines. 

 Whorls 5J;-, convex, the last rounded peripherally, very convex be- 

 neatk, especially at the last half; slightly descending in front, and 

 contracted behind the lip. Aperture oblique, lunate- triangular, the 

 lip thin, brownish, expanded, reflexed below, the steeply-sloping 

 baso-columellar margin straightened, dilated over the umbilicus, 

 where the base is deeply impressed. Alt. 13, diam. 14 mm. 



Hakusan, Kaga. Type no. 84321 A. N. S. P., from no. 975 of Mr. 

 Hirase's collection. 



This form differs from G. cardiostoma Kob. (described from Kyoto, 

 but not yet found there by Mr. Hirase), in the darker color (cardi- 

 ostoma being yellowish-corneous, like japonica*), and the very convex 

 base, while cardiostoma is said to be flattened there. 



Chloritis echizenensis Pils. & Hir., n. sp. 



Shell shaped almost exactly like C. bracteatus, but glossy, the 

 raised dots (not hairs) far less crowded, though still close ; the apex
