 convey an idea of the proportions of three of the most marked 

 varieties.

Kateru, extremely rare. With this shell, of which only one speci- 

 men has fallen under my observation, I would connect tho name of 

 my friend A. H. Leith, Esq., of the Bombay Medical Service, one of 

 the most accomplished naturalists in the East.

C. testa elongato-conica; anfractibus 14-1"), profunde confertimque spiraliter 

 striatis, et costis ornatis ; costis magnis, nodiformibus, medio acuminatis ; aper- 

 tura ovato-rotunda, canali latiusculo terniinata. Long. 33 ; lat. 1*4 unc. 

 Kateru, common. This shell, which is perhaps the most marked 



of the series, possesses a character somewhat intermediate bet\\< < n 



the fossil G. semicostalt'iii, Desh. and the existing ft nodvlosum, Brug. 



Named after Capt. Stoddard.

Kateru, common, though specimens showing tin- perfect aperture 



are rare. This genus (which was established by d'Arohiac for a ahell 



from the Indian ETuinmulitic strata) is characterized by a deep notch 



in the outer lip. It is interesting t" find a second species also in 



India. This is much smaller than the first, ami is comparatively 



devoid of ornamentation, tin- little there is being confined to the 



upper whorls.
