 at p. 205, when speaking of Gl. monticola ; it differs from tbis 

 last by its more fusiform instead of conoidally turreted shape, its 

 thinner texture, larger aperture and somewhat differently arranged

Two shells, from Mai-i, in the Theobald collection, measure 

 20x4 mm., and distinctly show the five palatal plicae indicated in 

 the diagnosis.
