Ganesella japonica var. granulosa "ov. 



In this race the shell is trochiform, umbih'cate, strongly carinate 

 at the periphery, irregularly wrinkle-striate, minutely, very obso- 

 letely granulose, with some faint spiral lines or none. It is light 

 brown, not corneous or corneous-brown, as in japonica. Two 

 forms have been received, a larger and smaller. 



Alt. 14, diam. 19 mm. (large form, No. 5136 of Mr. Hirase's 

 Coll.). 



Alt. 13, diam. 14^ mm. (small form. No. 513c of Mr. Hirase's 

 Coll.). 



Alt. 11, diam. 15 mm, (small form. No. 513c of Mr. Hirase's 

 Coll.). 



Ibuki Mountain, Prov. Omi. The small form occurs also at 

 Kyoto. 



Ganesella japonica var. carinata Pilsbry and A. Gulick, nov. 



This is a large, very strongly carinate shell, openly umbilicate, 

 yellowish-corneous, and finely striate spirally like G. japonivd. 

 Whorls 5J to nearly 6. 



Alt. 18, diam. 26 mm. 



Alt. 16, diam. 23 mm.

This is apparently the "Helix patnielis Ad.," "H. tabuensis 

 Ancey," of authors; but after a careful examination of the 

 evidence, a year or two ago, Mr. Gulick and I concluded that it 

 could not be identical with the form described by Adams and 

 renamed by Ancey. It is apparently an independent local moun- 

 tain race of G. japonica. 



The sculpture, paler color, and less trochiform shape separate it 

 from the large form of G. japonica granulosa, which is apparently 

 a parallel modification of the papillose or granular type of the G. 

 japonica stock.
