GLESSULA, HABITAT UNKNOWN. 101 



measures, length 12.7, diam. 6, length of aperture 5 mm.; 

 whorls 6% (fig. 7). 



Col. Beddome believes G. paviei to be a synonym of G. areas. 

 I have been unable to compare specimens of the latter, but I 

 think they will prove distinct. 



IV. Species of unknown habitat. 



78. G. FUSCA (Pfeiffer). PI. 7, figs. 14, 15. 



Shell oblong- turrite, thin, very closely hair-striate (and 

 with a few stronger, somewhat varix-like striae), silky, brown. 

 Spire with slightly curved outlines, the apex obtuse, suture 

 marginate, very delicately denticulate. Whorls 7, convex, 

 the last three-sevenths the total length, rounded at base. 

 Columella white-calloused, lightly arcuate, abruptly shortly 

 truncate; aperture vertical, sinuate-semioval ; peristome sim- 

 ple, unexpanded. Length 22, diam. 9, aperture 10x4.6 mm. 

 (Pfr.). 



Habitat unknown (Cuming coll.). 



Achatina fusca PFR., P. Z. S. 1852, p. 67 ; Conchyl. Cab. 

 p. 337, pi. 43, f . 8, 9 ; Monogr. iii, p. 491. 



This species should be recognizable by its somewhat un- 

 usual sculpture. Known by the original account only. 

 Hanley thinks it near parabilis Bens., or perhaps identical. 



79. G. FULGENS (Pfeiffer.) 



Shell oblong-ovate, rather solid, smooth, pellucid, glossy, 

 corneous-tawny. Spire ovate-conic, the apex somewhat ob- 

 tuse. Whorls 6, slightly convex, striatulate at the narrowly 

 marginate suture, the last whorl about three-sevenths the total 

 length, rounded at base. Columella very much arched, white- 

 calloused, obliquely and rather widely truncate. Aperture 

 vertical, sinuate-elliptical; peristome unexpanded, obtuse. 

 Length 12.5, diam. 5.66, aperture 5.5x3 mm. (Pfr.)
