A careful examination of the anterior part of the body-whorl of the 
type shows faint indications of low spiral ridges such as exist on the type 
of G. venustum, but smaller specimens from Kai Iwi show no sign of them.

uter’s figure is misleading, for it gives far too great prominence to the 
spiral ribs on the lower part of the shell. These are so inconspicuous ie 
much the appearance of G. drewi. These are the only two specimens of 
the species which have been found; and, since complete adult specimens 
of both G. undulatum and G. drewi are rare, the material available 18 not 
sufficient to give a proper idea of the relative values of the three species 
named. They may not all be worth recognition.

6. Genus AMOUROPSELLA Chelot, 1885. 
“ Shell thin, scalariform, with elevated spire, sharp at the top; whorls 
numerous, generally rendered gradate by a spiral plane, sometimes even 
keeled ; aperture scarcely more than half the total height, effuse in front ; 
umbilicus rather small, from the depths of which issues a narrow and sbarp 
ridge which quickly joins the keeled margin of the effuse portion of the 
aperture, lip little inclined, straight, a little antecurrent opposite ine 
flattened plane, columella scarcely excavated, outer margin little callo 
and reflected on the umbilicus."—(Cossmann.)
