 The nuclear vertex in this species is generally eroded ; but, 

 when perfect, resembles that of G-. Sinensis, about "02 across, 

 not prominent, with the outer whirl enveloping the rest, apex 

 not visible. The colour is of a beautiful pinkish brown, 

 lustrous, uniform over the shell, and variously stained or spot- 

 ted. The lamina makes a rapid ascent to the margin, is much 

 flattened, with the inner edge elegantly rounded, recurved 

 over from 3-4ths to 4-5ths of its breadth, and a third part of 

 its length. The recurved part is open, but not swollen within. 

 Long. 1'27, lot. 1*17, alt. '66.

The specimens of G. mamillaris in the Cumingian collection 



vary greatly in colour and sculpture. . Some of these, as well 



as G. lichen, closely resemble the young of G. co*nica. A 



microscopic examination of the nuclear vertices would prp- 



bably decide the question. The vertex of G. mamillaris is
