G. shell small, tiirbinately conical, scarcely umbilicate, yel- 

 lowish white, painted very prettily with reddish gold spots ; 

 whorls 4, margined at the base and flattened, rounded above 

 and constricted at the suture ; girdled with irregular ob- 

 liquely striate, very fine striae ; margin elegantly tesselated, 

 with white and reddish gold ; base sculptured with impressed 

 tessellated lines. Aperture rounded. 



King's Island, rare. A very pretty shell, which is very 

 nacreous underneath,

C. shell scarcely umbilicate, turbinately conoid, variegated 

 brown and gi'een ; whorls sloping and flattened, conspicuously 

 tubercled above (tubercles in the last whorl 10 in number), 

 faintly obliquely corrugated and very finely decussate ; last 

 whorl sharply angulate, and obtusely tuberculate at the peri- 

 phery ; base flattened ; decussately granular, ornamented with 

 three bi'own spotted lirse ; aperture subquadrate, columella 

 arcuate and canaliculate ; lip acute. Seen from above the 

 tubercles seem radiate, like the spokes of a wheel. 



This shell, with some others, were given to me by Mr. 

 Eonald Gunn, the eminent botanist and naturalist, to whom 

 Tasmania owes so much. He found it seldom, and on the 

 north cost only. It is a very beautiful species with bright 

 emerald green markings, and shelly operculum. It is closely 

 called to G. aureus, Jonas, but distinguished by its color, 

 larger size, and the very conspicuous tubercles crowning the 

 whorls.
