Mr. E. A. Smith kindly showed me two specimens from 

 tlie Cuming Collection in the British Museum pertaining to 

 -fe'. Gereti, which were also labelled B. simodce ; they are, 

 however, larger than the type, measuring 28 and 26 millim. 

 respectively. The exact locality is not recorded in either case. 



Ganesella jii'oceray sp. n. 



Shell narrowly umbilicated, trochoid, thin, solid, corneous, 

 very finely striated, minutely granulated above and decussated 

 with spiral lines below the periphery. Spire conical, slightly 

 globose; suture margined, apex obtuse. Whorls 9, flattened 

 above, a little swollen below, increasing slowly and regularly, 

 the last not descending anteriorly, and scarcely dilated towards 

 the mouth, with an acute pinched keel at the periphery, 

 which is continued upwards above the suture. Aperture 

 oblique, subquadrate ; peristome thin, acute, slightly thick- 

 ened, its margins distant, upper nearly straight, a little re- 

 flected, forming an angle with the basal margin, which is 

 arcuate and well reflected ; columellar margin dilated above 

 and partly covering the narrow umbilicus. 



Diara. maj. 1-4, min. 12 5; alt. 17 millim. 



Hah. Tiian-moi, Tonkin. Type in my collection. 



A single specimen received as G. •phonica, Mab., from 

 Mr. E. Boubde, of Paris, proved upon examination to be a 

 new species. It resembles G. eximia^ Mldfl"., but is larger 

 and wider at the base, the keel is more prominent and 

 pinched, and the umbilicus is narrower; tlie surface is 

 minutely granulated above and spirally striated below, features 

 which are lacking in G. eximia. G. phonica, eximia, and 

 procera form a group of which phonica is the smallest and 

 procera the largest. Mr. Ponsonby possesses a specimen 

 similar to the type. 1 hope shortly to illustrate this new 

 species, together with some others.
