174 GALEOMMA. 



2. G. macrochisma (f. 7, 8), Besli. — Testa pallide fulva, quam 

 G. Turtoni breviore ; terminis magis obtusis; valvis medio coarc- 

 tatis ; dentibus nullis. Obs. This is the Philippine analogue of 

 our British species, but shorter and more truncated in form. 



3. G. argentea (f. 13, 14), Desk. — Testa minute striata, quam 

 G. Turtoni magis compressa et ad terminos truncata, dentibus 

 minutis; intus quasi-argentea. Obs. Much flattened and more 

 truncated at the ends than G. Turtoni, with the inside shining 

 like silver, and the outside very minutely striated. 



4. G. Formosa (f. 11), Desk. — Testa ovali, oblonga, aurantio- 

 fulva, subcompressa ; terminis acutis ; striis medio evanidis, ad 

 marginem dorsalem adscendentibus ; dentibus parvis. Obs. This 

 species also approaches the typical form, but the strise are very 

 faint on the body of the shell, which is of an orange-brown tint. 



5. G. inflata (f. 5, 6), Desk. — Testa fulva, inflata ; terminis 

 rotundatis, medio coarctato ; latere postico majore, striis minutis 

 medio subevanidis ; dentibus parvis. 



6. G. paucistriata (f. 9), Desk. — Testa albida, subinflata, 

 subovali, medio coarctatii; terminis obtusis, striis numerosis di- 

 vergentibus, ad marginem dorsalem adscendentibus. Obs. The 

 sculpture is regular but much more close than in G. Turtoni. It 

 is a thin shell, obtuse at the edges. 



7. G. indecora (f. 15), Desk. — Testa albida, tenui, subinflata; 

 striis distantibus, subevanidis. Obs. This is like the preceding, 

 but is rather more equilateral, the sculpture far less distinct, and 

 the valves not so much inflated. 



8. G. angusta (f. 10), Desk. — Testa quam G. paucicostata 

 angustiore. Obs. In sculpture similar to 67. paucicostata, but 

 more straight and narrow. 



9. G. chloroleuca (f. 12), Des/i. — Testa pallide aurantia, 

 ovali, medio coarctata ; hiatu angusto ; striis subevanidis. Obs. 

 The melon tint and general proportions of this species bring it 

 very near to Scintilla ambiyua, but on careful examination, it is 

 found to be striated.
