GIBBULA. 209 



Var. FUMOSA Philippi. 



Yellowish, marked above with large reddish maculations, the 

 base radiately striped with brownish-gray ; form more elevated and 

 slenderer than in T. cinerarias. Alt. 10, diam. 10 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



G. OBLiQiTATA, Gmelin. PI. 30, figs. 11-16. 



Shell more depressed than G. cineraria, and (although the base is 

 flatter) never inclined to a pyi-amidal form ; the spiral ridges are 

 sharper and fewer, especially in the young ; the coloring is different; 

 both have a siiuihir kind of marking, but in the present species the 

 longitudinal rays or streaks are red, besides being broader and not 

 half so many as in the other species ; and they are sometimes zig- 

 zag, instead of being broken into spots or interrupted by the sculpt- 

 ure; this species is striped, the other Uneated; just within the outer 

 lip are two borders, one of yellow, the other of green variegated by 

 red spots , this edging is minutely tubercled like shagreen.
