GASTEROPODA. 47 



Shell subglobose, spire elevated, whorls (4 — 5) angulated, the angles nodulated, the 

 nodules being small and numerous ; the whorls are flattened above and beneath the angle ; 

 the last whorl is globose, and has two encircling nodulous carinas, with a depression between 

 them ; the aperture is large and elliptical ; the base rounded and wide ; the pillar lip with 

 an open umbilicus. 



This may be regarded as an aberrant form of Euspira, in which the carina becomes 

 nodulous ; the nodules, however, are not prominent nor large, those of the second carina 

 being smaller, more numerous, and rather indistinct. There is also a slight sulcus between 

 the carinas which are connected together by obscure elevations, but these merely appear as 

 slight plications. The general form being globose, and the carina broken into nodules, 

 renders its aspect less angular than is usual in the genus. Length 21 lines, breadth 

 19 lines. 



Locality. Minchinhampton : the planking has furnished our only example. 



Euspira stjbcanaliculata. Plate VI, fig. 13. 



B. Testa oblong a ; spird sub-exsertd ; anfractibus (4) angidosis, marginibm subdepressis, 

 superne tabulatis, infeme subconvexis ; anfractu ultimo obliquo ; aperturd subtrigond; 

 obliqud, basi angustatd ; labro interno cattoso umbilicum obtigente. 



Shell oblong; spire but little elevated; whorls (4) angulated, their margins rather 

 depressed, flattened above the angle, and rather convex beneath ; the last whorl oblique ; 

 aperture subtrigonal, the last whorl oblique, the base narrow ; the inner lip thickened, and 

 covering an umbilicus. 



Unfortunately we possess only one specimen of this little shell, which was obtained in 

 the planking ; it may possibly be a young variety of E. canaliculata, in which the upper 

 portions of the whorls may become channelled with advance of growth, and the general 

 figure more globose ; the appearance of the inner lip and- umbilicus, however, are certainly 

 different ; and we, therefore, prefer to keep this as a distinct species. Length 8 lines, 

 breadth 7 lines.

Turreted, smooth, pyramidal ; spire long, consisting of numerous whorls ; apex acute, 

 slightly tortuous ; aperture oval, rounded anteriorly ; outer lip slightly thickened ; colu- 

 mella smooth.
