JIab. — Mekran Coast, Gulf of Oman ; near Charbar. 



A very interesting fonn, at first considered to be, perhaps, the 



• oung of some other species, but it is evidently distinct from 



A'. KurrachenniH, Sowb., its nearest ally in these whU-.th. Several 



' cimens have now been obtained at diff<'rent times, all much of the 



lie size. The sculpture of the last whorl, as regards the spiral 



Ululate lirul'cC, is very characteristic, thes^j granules being placed 



iquely imjiitij^ng upon each other, all oblong in shape, smooth, 



ning, and very- regular. The coloration of the shell is peculiar, 



rig purplish or greyish fuscous. The operculum is like that of 



i-^xa, or Jiullia proper, as opposed to JJorHannm, denticulate^ with 



■ ral nucleus. "We <\i-Av-/d\(i this species to Mr. F. W. Townsend, 



:.') has brought to light in the.se seas more Mollusca of the highest
