frout. Aperture oblique, subcircular, the parietal wall excising 

 about one-fourth of the circle. Peristome thin, narrowly ex- 

 panded throughout, more dilated at the coluinellar insertion. 



Alt. 3J, diam. 7\ ram. 



Itanami, Omi (Mr. Y. Hirase, No. 752). 



Much like E. lepidophora var. tennis Gude, but with fewer 

 whorls and more shaggy, large-scaled cuticle. 



Ganesella fausta n. sp. 



Shell resembling G. pagodula Ehrm. in contour; umbilicate, 

 very glossy, light chestnut colored. Sculpture of faint growth- 

 lines and excessively fine, subobsolete spiral strise. Spire high, 

 convexly conic. Whorls 5^, convex, the last rounded at the 

 periphery, very slightly descending in front, a trifle constricted 

 behind the lip. Base convex, impressed in the middle. Aperture 

 less oblique than in G. pagodula, rounded, the parietal wall excis- 

 ing slightly less than a third of the circle; peristome narrowly 

 expanded, the outer lip hardly reflexed, columellar margin dilated 

 above, half covering the umbilicus. Columella subvertical above. 



Alt. 13J, diam. 12J mm. 



Mikuriya, Suruga (Mr. Y. Hirase, No. 734). 



This form differs from G. pagodula in its smaller size, fewer 

 whorls, dark color and glossy surface, the hollow axis and different 

 form of the columella. I do not think it directly related to G. 

 pagodula. The two species are apparently independent offshoots 

 from the G. japonica stock. 



Ganesella Adelinae n. sp. 



Shell pyramidal, narrowly umbilicate, thin, pale yellow or rose- 

 whitish, with three equidistant blackish chestnut bands ; the first 

 above the middle of the upper surface of the last whorl, the 

 second at the periphery, the space between these two varying from 

 light red-brown to almost as dark as the bands themselves, which 

 are then confluent; the third baud is wider, in the middle of the 

 basal surface; the interior of the umbilicus also dark. Surface 

 rather glossy but with a dull " bloom " as in some forms of G. 

 Largillierti, having slight wrinkles of growth and fine, subobso- 

 lete, spiral striae. Spire straightly conic, the apex obtuse, whorls 

 6 to 6J, slightly convex, the last angular at the periphery, mod- 

 erately convex beneath, but slightly descending in front. Aper-
