  the 
  former 
  of 
  thera 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  body- 
  whorl 
  is 
  distinctive 
  ; 
  all 
  

   the 
  genuine 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  in 
  my 
  collection 
  are 
  so 
  coloured. 
  It 
  is 
  

   a 
  narrower 
  shell, 
  too, 
  than 
  Hedley's 
  new 
  species. 
  I 
  doubt 
  the 
  

   occurrence 
  of 
  true 
  hicolor 
  in 
  these 
  seas, 
  as 
  has 
  been 
  reported 
  (Proc. 
  

   Zool. 
  Soc. 
  Lond., 
  1901, 
  p. 
  444) 
  in 
  our 
  former 
  catalogue. 
  It 
  may 
  be, 
  

   however, 
  that 
  in 
  time 
  connecting 
  links 
  between 
  these 
  two 
  nearly 
  

   allied 
  species 
  may 
  be 
  found.

  Distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  purplish 
  blotches 
  placed 
  interstitially 
  in 
  the 
  

   centre 
  of 
  the 
  body-whorl, 
  as 
  is 
  the 
  case 
  with 
  Brillia 
  intertinda, 
  Sm. 
  

   It 
  seems 
  allied 
  to 
  spurca 
  (Hinds), 
  so 
  we 
  place 
  it, 
  provisionally, 
  in 
  the 
  

   same 
  genus. 
  But 
  few 
  examples 
  have 
  as 
  yet 
  been 
  collected.

  Harbour,

  the 
  finest 
  specimens 
  of 
  all 
  occur 
  in 
  

   5 
  fathoms, 
  among 
  loose 
  stones 
  and 
  muddy 
  sand. 
  

  

  We 
  merge 
  our 
  opsimathes 
  with 
  the 
  type 
  species 
  without 
  much 
  

   hesitation. 
  In 
  the 
  former 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  more 
  stramineous 
  and 
  the 
  

   surface 
  less 
  shining, 
  but 
  the 
  general 
  characters 
  are 
  identical. 
  The 
  

   type 
  of 
  opsimathes 
  came 
  from 
  Shaikh 
  Shuaib 
  Island, 
  Persian 
  Gulf.
