This species lias a sculpture of minute grained threads. In the British 

 Museum is a single specimen presented by Angas, evidently the type, but 

 not so marked. The references of tliis species to the Gulf of Oman and 

 to the Gulf of Suez need confirmation.

This name is proposed for a genus of the Maiu/ililiid', in which the 

 aperture has not acquired armature, and in which the lip is not flexed. 

 Prominent radial ribs are over-ridden by fine beaded spiral threads. The 

 apex is mucronate, with smooth whoi-ls. Characteristic is a colour scheme 

 of a peripheral zone of brown or black or orange, sometimes broken into 

 a series of dots or dashes. Type Purpura (Crania) anomala Angas. 



Besides the Australian species here enumerated, an extra-limital 

 species, MnniiUia tltiaxotex Melvill and Standen, may also be included in 

 MarJenl((.

In fresh specimens a delicate grain sculpture is visible under the lens. 

 The colour varies. There may be only a peripheral row of separate 

 intercostal brown spots, or beneath these there may lun a continuous 

 orange zone, anterior to which the shell may be faintly suffused with pink.
