  The 
  locality 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  is 
  unknown. 
  Nearly 
  all 
  the 
  Bombay 
  

   examples 
  are 
  worn 
  and 
  therefore 
  not 
  quite 
  characteristic. 
  The 
  

   shell 
  much 
  resembles 
  M. 
  albolabiata, 
  Sm., 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  colourless 
  

   variety 
  of 
  it. 
  The 
  three 
  uppermost 
  or 
  nuclear 
  whorls 
  are 
  described 
  

   by 
  the 
  author 
  as 
  " 
  laves 
  " 
  ; 
  this 
  alone 
  would 
  distinguish 
  it 
  from 
  its 
  ally 
  

   just 
  mentioned, 
  but 
  all 
  our 
  specimens 
  are 
  beach- 
  worn.

  A

  thickened, 
  somewhat 
  corrugate 
  shell, 
  of 
  a 
  pale 
  pink 
  

   colour, 
  very

  the

  globular

  closely 
  

   cancellate, 
  the 
  two

  coarsely 
  ribbed 
  and 
  spirally 
  lirate, 
  

   the 
  lowest 
  lira 
  on 
  the 
  body-whorl 
  very 
  strongly 
  ridged, 
  while 
  below 
  

   this 
  to 
  the

  the 
  shell 
  is 
  fairly

  the

   sinus

  Messrs.

  Hugh 
  Nevill 
  give 
  Ceylon 
  and 
  the 
  Andamans 
  

   as 
  localities

  this 
  species, 
  and 
  compare 
  it

  The 
  curious 
  leaden-pink 
  colour 
  seems 
  very 
  

   characteristic, 
  as 
  also 
  the 
  attenuation 
  of 
  spire. 
  The 
  nuclear 
  

   whorls 
  are 
  smooth, 
  sinus 
  white, 
  shallow, 
  sutural.
