GALEOMMA.— Plate 1. 



Species 5. (Mus. Brit.) 

 Galeomma chloroleuca. Gal. testa elongatd, tenuis- 



sime striata, pallide auranlia, medio conlractd ; 



terminihus ohtusis, hiatu angustiusculo. 

 Thr okange-white Galeomma. Shell elongated, very 



finely striated, pale orange, contracted in the 



middle ; ends obtuse, hiatus rather narrow. 

 Deshates. Proc. Zool. Soc, 1855, p. 170. 

 Ilab. Isl. Samar, Philippines. 



This shell very nearly resembles Scintilla ambigua 

 in general appearance, but on close inspection it is 

 found to be striated, and therefore a Galeomma. 



Species 6. (Fig. a, h, Mus. Brit.) 

 Galeomma inflata. Gal. testd hreviusculd, pallide fulvd, 

 tenuiter granoso- striata, medio coarctatd ; valvis 

 arcuatis, ad marginem ventralem latissime hiantibus. 

 The inflated Galeomma. Shell rather short, pale 

 fulvous, finely granosely striated, contracted in 

 the middle; valves arched, very widely gaping at 

 the ventral margin.

Species 7. (Mus. Brit.) 

 Galeomma argentea. Gal. tcsid parvd, ohhngd, fere 



alhd, tenuiter striata, nd terminos siibtruncatd ; 



intiis argentea; valvis arcuatis. 

 The silvery Galeomma. Shell small, oblong, almost 



white, finely striated, rather truncated at the end ; 



silvery within ; valves arched. 

 Deshayes. Proc. Zool. Soc, 1855, p. 109. 

 Hab. Isl. Samar, Philippines. 



This species is more finely striated and more trun- 

 cated at each end than Galeomma Tnrtoni. It has a 

 peculiar silvery lustre inside. 



Species 8. (Mus. Brit.) 



Galeomma indecora. Gal. testd pallide fulvd, oblongd, 

 tenuissime striatd ; latere antico breviuscvlo, obtus'e 

 truncato, paulo contracto ; latere postico oblique 

 infiato. 



The plain Galeomma. Shell pale fulvous, oblong, very 

 finely striated ; anterior side rather short, obtusely 

 truncated, a little contracted ; posterior side ob- 

 liquely inflated.

Ilab. Isl. Masbate, Philippines. 



But for the very fine stria that may be seen in parts 

 of this shell, it would seem to belong rather to Scintilla 

 than to this genus. 



Species 9. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Brit.) 



Galeojima MACR0CHIS.MA. Gal. testd brevi, pallide 

 fulvd, conspicue granoso-striatd ; latere antico 

 subacuminato ; latere postico obtuso ; valvis 

 medio coarctatis, arcuatis, latissime hiantibus. 



The wide-gaping Galeomma. Shell short, pale fulvous, 

 conspicuously granosely striated ; anterior side 

 rather acuminated ; posterior side obtuse ; valves 

 contracted in the middle, arched, very widely 

 gaping.
