shells possesses only eight whorls and measures 20 x 9'5 mm. ; it 

 is ornamented with a single, narrow, fuscous, supra- peripheral 

 band below which occur several fuscous spiral lines. The 

 Beddoine collection also contains eight specimens from the 

 AnamuUay Hills, labelled G. subserena, which 1 refer to the new

The portion of the diagnosis placed in square brackets has 

 evidently crept in through some printer's error and greatly 

 puzzled me at first until this fact dawned upon my mind. 



Bedd<5me states that the spe(;ies only differs from G. textilis 

 and G. toniensls, both of Elanford, iu its beautiful coloration. 



i'our specimens in the Beddome collection, from Peermede, 

 only differ from G. textilis iu having a broad pale zone just above 

 the periphery, while some have narrow subsutural lines and a 

 patch on the columella. Hanley's figure of the species is more 

 conoid than these.
