Acad. Proc, as well as the name of this species. We are indebted 

 to Prof. Gilbert H. Harris, of Cornell University Palseontological 

 Department, for the opportunity of figuring these specimens. 



Eulota (AegistaT) macrocycloides Kob. Kyoto (Gaines). 



Eulota (Aegista) kobensis S. <fc B. Hiesan (Gaines). 



Eulota (Plectotropis) vulgivaga S. & B. Yase, near Kyoto (Gaines). 



Ganesella stearnsii n. sp. PI. I, fig. 4. 



Shell imperforate, globose-turbinate, higher than wide, thin, straw 

 colored, with a peripheral brown line visible above suture on penul- 

 timate whorl; surface smooth to the eye, but under a lens showing 

 very minute crowded spiral lines as in Eulota nipponensis, but rather 

 less distinct. Spire high, with convex outlines; whorls 7t, very 

 convex, flattened and arcuate-striatulate below the sutures ; the last 

 rounded at periphery, somewhat descending in front ; base convex, 

 impressed in the center. Aperture somewhat oblique, semilunar, 

 white within ; outer lip arched, slightly expanded, a trifle thickened 

 within ; columella straight, vertical, narrow, deeply inserted, hardly 

 expanded at the insertion, its edge expanded below, reflexed and 

 closely appressed above in a very thin glaze over the axial region. 

 Alt. 29,diam. 24 i mm. 



Mt. Hie, Hiesan, near Kyoto (Gaines). 



This is an extraordinary species, recalling H. sphceroconus of 

 Formosa and H. jxipilliformis of Nippon. The former is most nearly 

 allied, but differs in the flatter whorls, etc. Kobelt's species has 

 flatter whorls (" convexiusculi ") and a more slanting columella, etc 

 Whether these species belong with japonica Pfr. in Ganesella, or 

 are Euhadras allied to myoviphala, remains to be decided by ana- 

 tomical research. 



The name need not be confused with Helix sfearnsiana Gabb, a 

 species of Epiphragmophora. 

 Ganesella goodwini Smith. Hiesan (Gaines). 

 Ganesella japonica Pfr. Kyoto, Kobe (Gaines).
