* Narrower and more lengthened than the nearly allied G. adusta. It has not the pale yellow- 

 ish sutural band of that species. 



f Preoccupied. 



II doubt whether this is more than an immature stage of dubiosa. 



| Proposed by Jir. lirot, because Iscvigata is preoccupied in Melania; but that name must 

 Stand, as it is not preoccupied in Goniobasis. 



| The shells included in the above extensive synonymy present some variation in form and co- 

 loration, but in an examination of several thousand specimens I was umible to separate the so- 

 called species satisfactorily. G. semicaritiata, Say, is the young shell, which, when old, varies in 

 form, being narrow in angvttiipira and exilis, and broader in the other syuon>ms. The specie* 

 inhabits an extensive range of country.
