NEW xMELANIDvE OF THE UNITED STATES, 297 



which I have never seen on Kirtlandiana. Both the specimens before me have four 

 bands, the two middle ones being nearer to each other. The aperture of the mature 

 specimen is not quite one-third the length of the shell, while that of the younger is 

 more than the third, and it is also more angular at the base, the older one not being 

 entirely perfect. I dedicate this species to the late Prof. R T. Brumby, to whom I 

 am indebted for if.

 carinata; suturis regulariter et valde impressis; anfractibus octonis, convexis ; apertura parva, 

 subrotunda, intus albida ; labro acuto, parum sinuoso; columella inflecta, tenui et contorts.

Remarhs.—l have about a dozen specimens from Quincy, and one from Pox River. 

 The former are fresh, and of a dark horn-color. The latter is whitish and probably 

 bleached, being evidently a dead shell. It is allied to M. varicosa, Ward, and is 

 very much the same outline and size, but it has no veins and has no light line below the 

 sutures. The aperture is not quite one-third the length of the shell. I name it after 

 Mr. Grosvenor, to whom I am indebted for the specimen from Fox River, and many 

 other species. 



Goniobasis parva. PI. 37, fig. 129. 



Testa laevi, conica, tenui, cornea, evittata; spira subelevata, mucronata; suturis impressis; anfractibus 

 septenis, planulatis; apertura parviuscula, intus albida, subrhomboidea ; labro acuto et sinuoso; col- 

 umella inflecta et parum incrassata. 



Shell smooth, conical, thin, horn-color, without bands ; spire somewhat raised, 

 sharp-pointed ; sutures impressed ; whorls seven, flattened ; aperture rather small, 

 whitish within, subrhomboidal; outer lip acute and sinuous; columella bent in and 

 somewhat thickened.

Remarks.— This is a small species of which I received only three specimens, neither 



of them entirely perfect. It is very near to Melania {Goniolasis) Jams (nobis), but it is
