 subcylindracea, solida, obtuse angulata, Isevi, antice crenu- 

 lato-sulcata, griseo-albida, cinnamomeo-fusco longitudinaliter 

 strigata, liueis fuscis undulatis transverse ciiicta ; interstitiis

 castanea. Long. 20, maj. lat. 11 mill. 



A short, somewhat cylindrical species, with obscure but 

 characteristic markings, somewhat resembling those of G. 

 Incidus, on a smaller scale ; the transverse brown lines are 

 more numerous, and the short longitudinal ones crossing the 

 interstices less so. The light-brown waved streaks almost 

 cover the shell, leaving small white patches between the 

 transverse lines. 



This shell was picked up on the beach at Key West 

 (South Florida) in 1872, by Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill, and is at 

 present the only specimen known.

 angulati, ultimus ad angulum tuberculis minutis parum
