256. G. virgulata, Lea. Figs. 350, 351. Ovate, thick, 

 smooth ; spire short conical, suture much impressed; whorls 7, 

 convex, the last large, inflated ; aperture diagonal, long, and 

 narrow, angular at base. Greenish-yellow, four-banded. Coosa 

 River, Ala. 



Fig. 351 represents Q. glandaria, Lea, the adult. In the young shell the 

 spire, when present (Fig. 350J, is attenuate and sharp-pointed. 



257. G. Clara, Ahth. Fig. 352. Ovate, smooth, thick ; 

 spire conical, suture slightly impressed ; whorls 7, flat, the last 

 large, inflated ; aperture ovate, angulate at base. Yellow, with 

 four brown bands. Ala. 



258. G. inflata, Raid. Fig. 353. Ovate-conical, smooth, 

 thick; spire conical, suture moderately impressed; whorls 5, 

 flattened, the last inflated ; aperture rhomboidal, angulate at 

 base. Brown or green, banded inside with red. Alabama 

 River. 



The above description does not correspond altogether with that of ger- 

 mana, Anth., but if the figure here given (which is copied from Reeve's 

 " Conchologia Iconica," and represents a shell in Mus. AnthonyJ is inflata, 

 then the two are probably identical. 



259. G. fusiformis, Lea. Fig. 354. Fusiform, smooth, 

 rather thin ; spire short-conical, acute, suture linear; whorls 6, 

 the last inflated ; aperture ovate, rounded below. Yellowish, 

 sometimes double-banded. Tenn. 



260. G. bellula. Lea. Fig. 355. Subfusiform, striate, 

 somewhat thick ; spire short, suture well impressed; whorls 5, 

 convex, the last large ; aperture rather large, elliptical, obtuse- 

 ly angular at base. Pale horn color, four-banded, white and 

 banded within. Ydlowleaf Creek, Ala. 



261. G. calculoides, Lea. Fig. 356. Subfusiform, robust, 

 irregularly striate, and noduled above; spire obtusely conical, 

 suture irregularly impressed ; whorls 6, much inflated, the last 

 large; aperture rather small, elliptical, angled at base, colu- 

 mella perpendicular, straight. Horn color, with or without 

 bands. Coosa River, Ala. 



262. G. basalis, Lea. Elliptical, thick, smooth ; spire 

 short, obtuse, suture impressed ; whorls convex ; aperture 

 ovately elongate, acutely angular at base. Yellowish-green, 

 banded. Ala. 



Resembles G. glandaria, Lea, but is thinner, the outer lip more expanded, 

 and the aperture rather longer. It is closely allied to G. fitsiformis , Lea. 



263. G. Lewisii, Lea. Fig. 357. Somewhat cylindrical, 

 thick, coarsely striate; spire raised conical, suture much im- 

 pressed ; whorls 6, flattened, with rough revolving ridges or 

 striae ; aperture small, ovately rhomboidal, obtusely angular at 

 base. Dark green, four-banded Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, 

 Ala,
