242 GIBBULA. 



(pi. 31, figs. 38, 39, 40) which I take to be the same species. I have 

 specimens found among small West Indian shells. The young are 

 very similar to certain species of Liotia. They are strongly bicari- 

 nate, the carinte with radiating short spines ; there is a subsutural 

 granose ridge, and a similar one bounds the umbilicus. I am not 

 certain that the species is a Gibbula. A specimen of this species is 

 drawn in figs. 2, 3, pi. 45 of vol. x of the Manual. 



G. ROSEus Krauss. PI. 40, fig. 38. 



Shell small, globose-conoid, imperforate, thin, roseate, unicolored 

 or marked with white flammules ; whorls terete, transversely cingu- 

 late, cinguli 3 on the penultimate whorl, the interstices much wider, 

 striated; base closely lirate ; aperture rhombic-orbicular, columella 

 oblique. {Phil.) 



The shell is wholly imperforate in my examples, with only a 

 slight impression at the place of the umbilicus, rather thin, globose- 

 conoidal, acute, formed of 5 convex, strongly separated wdiorls. 

 These on the upper part are encircled by 3 narrow ridges, their 

 broad interstices traversed by 2 to 4 elevated lines ; the rounded 

 base has about 7 to 9 close sj^iral lime with narrow interstices. The 

 aperture is almost circular, scarcely quadrate ; the columella oblique, 

 scarcely straight. The color is rose-red, with darker girdles or 

 with white flecks, or with radiating flames above.

I identify this shell with specimens before me marked G. gaudiosa 

 Gld., which agree well with Philippi's description.
