 ARCIIIACI, TfOrbigny. Prodr., i, p. 300. 



Testa ovato-depressa, spira elata, anfractibus tribus vel quarternis, angustis, inflatis, 

 suturis profunde canaliculatis, anfractu ultimo costis transversis obscuris, inaequalibus, 

 irregularibus, striisque crcbris decussalis ; striis tenuibus, regularibus, undatis ; apertura 

 ampla, suborbiculari. 



Shell ovate, depressed ; spire elevated, consisting of three or four volutions, which are 

 narrow, inflated, their sutures deeply channeled ; the last volution has some obscurely 

 marked, irregular, and unequal transverse costa decussated by encircling striations ; the 

 striations are regular, very closely arranged, faintly impressed, with small, wave-like 

 undulations ; the aperture is large and rounded. 



More depressed than N. sulcosa and N. striata, but with larger volutions, the sutures 

 being also more deeply channeled ; the ornamentation of the surface is so faintly impressed 

 that it is scarcely perceptible without the aid of a magnifier.

TROCHUS GDISEI, Lye. Tab. XLV, fig. 14. 



Testa alta conica, apice acuto, anfractibus (6) latis, leviter concavis, anfractu ultimo 

 subanffulato, basi convexo, concentrice striato ; anfractibus, costis obscuris, obliquis, ad basin 

 bi-cinctis ; apertura dcprcssa. 



Shell elevated, conical; volutions (6) wide, apex acute, slightly concave in their middle 

 portions ; the last volution angulated ; the base convex, with fine, encircling striations ; 

 the sides of the volutions have delicate, obscure, oblique costse, which are interrupted 

 towards the base of each volution by two narrow, encircling bands ; the sutures are 

 delicate and faintly marked ; the aperture is depressed. 



The ornamentation of this little Trochus is regular and but faintly sculptured ; the 

 encircling bands are rendered slightly nodular by the decussating costse. 



The name in compliment to W. V. Guise, Esq., President of the Cotteswold Naturalists 

 Club.
