" Among the undescribed material in the collection of the 

 late Col. H. H. Godwin-Austen, now in the British Museum, 

 was found a single specimen labelled ' Buliminus, sp. nov. 

 Karachi '. The shell agrees with half a dozen specimens in 

 my own collection which were found in sand from the Karachi 

 beach in company with P. coenopictus, Hutton, and a multi- 

 tude of interesting small marine shells. The Museum speci- 

 men has been selected as the type. ' '
