Remarhs. — Out of seven specimens before me only one is full grown, being over an 

 inch in length. The stria are close and numerous, covering the whole of the whorls. 

 The ribs, which are numerous, are curved and decussate the strife. These ribs come 

 down to the last stria and there terminate, not reaching the suture. Between the 

 striae the surface is disposed to be crimpled. Three out of the seven specimens are 

 purplish inside. It is very like glauca, Anth., but is not so large, and the ribs and 

 strise cover the whole of the whorls, which is not the case with glauca. The aper- 

 ture is not quite one-third the length of the shell.

Bemarlcs. — This pretty little species unfortunately came represented by two 

 imperfect specimens. The aperture of both is broken, but the remaining parts are 

 very perfect. The ribs are strongly marked and consist of nine on each whorl. 

 There are four bands well defined and are stronger outside than in, which is unusual. 

 On the upper part of the whorl there is a light band immediately under the suture, 

 which contrasts with the reddish-horn color of the other parts. The aperture is 

 rather less than one-third the length of the shell. 



GONIOBASIS LUTEOCELLA. PI. 54, fig. 10. 



Testa plicata et striata, fusiformi, subcrassa, ochracea, vittata vel evittata; spira brevi; suturis 

 irregulariter impressis; anfractibus quinis, convexiusculis; apertura grandi, ovata, intus luteo- 

 alba; labro acuto; columella superne incrassata et valde contorta. 



Shell plicate and striate, fusiform, somewhat thick, ochraceous, banded or without 

 bands ; spire short ; sutures irregularly impressed ; whorls five, somewhat convex ;
