412 FERUSSACIDJE. 



Two specimens, labelled G. bensoniana, were found in the- 

 Beddome collection, but they differ from that species in having a 

 convex spire, a narrower base and smaller aperture, while the 

 whorls are more narrowly coiled. The new species is allied to- 

 G. leptospira but it is thinner in texture, smoother and more 

 glossy, and not striated, the whorls are less convex and the last 

 whorl is wider. Prom the next species it may be separated by 

 the convex spire, the more obtuse apex, the smaller number of 

 whorls which increase more slowly, and the more tumid last 

 whorl. The second specimen is composed of only 8 whorls and 

 measures 13'5 x 5 mm.
