Hob. Gulf of Oman, lat. 24° 58° N., long. 56° 54' E., 156 fathoms. 



A pure white, polished, fusiform species, very slightly attenuate ; upper 

 whorls gradate, all slightly channelled suturally, more or less straight. Mouth 

 somewhat square, outer lip porrect, squarely produced at the base. Columella 

 oblique, simple. Several specimens occurred. Not so elegant as E. kaisensis, 

 Melv., the only other of the genus yet recorded from this region. " Carmania," 

 from whence the specific name is taken, is the ancient name of that portion of 

 Persia impinging on the northern shores of the Gulf of Oman.
