profusely covering the surface, thrice-ranked on the penultimate, six-ranked 

 on the last whorl ; but three, however, of them are conspicuous, more parti- 

 cularly the one in both whorls just below the sutures. Around the umbilicus 

 the three rows are not so highly developed. The operculum is horny and 

 multispiral. 



ENIDA PERSICA, sp. n. (PI. A. fig. 10.) 



E. testa parva, depresso-conica, solidula, profunde sed anguste umbilicata, 

 albo-straminea,hic illic, praacipue apud peripheriam, spiraliter pallide rubro 

 vel brunneo maculata ; anfractibus 6, apud suturas gradatulis, quorum duo 

 apicales vitrei, canaliculati, Iseves, cseteris, prsecipue ultimo, spiraliter liratis, 

 simul ac infra, juxta suturas, forti carina prseditis (ultimo anfractu apud 

 peripheriam bicarinato), longitudinaliter obliquissime sed obscure costulatis, 

 co3tulis apud ultiraum saspius fere evanidis, ad juncturas lirarum prsecipue 

 supra, gemmulatis, infra peripheriam usque ad umbilicum spiraliter 

 pulcberrime tenuiliratis ; lira majore interdum cum minore alternante, 

 undique minute gemmulatis ; apertura subquadrata, labro paullum incrassa- 

 to, regione umbilicari excavata. 

 Alt. 3, diam. 5 mm. 



Hab. Gulf of Oman, lat. 24° 58' N., long. 53° 54' E., 156 fathoms. 

 Allied to the type of the genus E.japonica, Ad., but differing in both size 

 and form. It is not so large or handsome as the recently described E. Toim- 

 sendi, Sowb., from a neighbouring locality. The sculpture is elaborate for so 

 small a shell ; the lirse and carinas on the last whorl number together six above 

 the periphery, while below it there are ten, all being more or less granulate ; 

 the base is flattened, umbilical region somewhat excavate, mouth squarrose ; 

 the painting is pale red blotching, of a trigonal shape round the last two whorls, 

 and most conspicuous at the periphery. Many examples occurred at the very 

 prolific dredging-station mentioned above. 



EUCHELUS TOWNSENDIANUS, sp. n. (PI. A. fig. 11.) 



E. testa oblongo-conica, staminea, solidula ; anfractibus 7, quorum tres pallide 

 straminei, apicales minute orenulati, subhyalini, casteris spiraliter fortiter 

 costatis ; anfractu penultimo, simul ac antepenultimo, costis quatuor, 

 ultimo novem (quorum quinque supra, usque ad peripheriam) undique 

 gemmulatis, interstitiis favulosis, quadratis ; apertura ovato-rotunda, labro 

 regulariter brunneo-zonulato, intus multiplicato, margine columellari 

 sinuoso-crenulato. 

 Alt. 11, diam. 6'50 mm. 



Hab. Persian Gulf ; Gulf of Oman, Maskat, 15 fathoms ; also at lat. 24° 58' 

 N., long. 56° 54' E., 156 fathoms. 



An Euchelus of somewhat familiar aspect, but not precisely comparable with 

 any species either in our National Collection or mentioned in existing mono- 

 graphs.
