412 FERUSSACID^. 



Two specimens, labelled G. bensoniana, were found in the 

 Beddonie collectiou, but they differ from that species in having a 

 convex spire, a narrower base and smaller apertui'e, while the 

 whorls are more narrowly coiled. The new species is allied to- 

 G. leptospira but it is thinner in textm-e, smootlier and more 

 glossy, and ]iot striated, the whorls are less convex and the last 

 wliorl is wider. ]*'rom the next species it may be separated by 

 the convex spire, the more obtuse apex, the smaller uumler of 

 whorls which increase more slovyly, and the more tumid last 

 whorl. The second specimen is composed of only 8 whorls and 

 measures 13'5 x 5 mm.
