  This 
  species 
  was 
  at 
  first 
  classed 
  as 
  a 
  Clatlmrella, 
  owing 
  to 
  supposed 
  

   kinship 
  witli 
  such 
  a 
  species 
  as 
  CI. 
  rohillardi,^ 
  H. 
  Adams, 
  but 
  the 
  

   costoe 
  are 
  of 
  a 
  different 
  and 
  more 
  irregular 
  character. 
  Superficial 
  

   likeness 
  to 
  Manffilia 
  c/aligensis, 
  Melv., 
  and 
  J/, 
  townsendi, 
  Sby., 
  prevails, 
  

   but 
  the 
  protoconch 
  of 
  our 
  species 
  is 
  mostly 
  delicately 
  decussately 
  

   cancellate, 
  and 
  the 
  characters 
  of 
  the 
  prolonged 
  canal 
  and 
  outer 
  lip 
  

   decide 
  us 
  to 
  place 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Daphnella. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  most 
  delicate 
  

   and 
  beautiful 
  shell, 
  very 
  regularly 
  paucicostate, 
  shining, 
  the 
  whorls 
  

   crossed 
  with 
  very 
  fine 
  spiral 
  strife, 
  gemmulate 
  at 
  the 
  points 
  of 
  

   junction 
  with 
  the 
  ribs. 
  It 
  was 
  named 
  in 
  honour 
  of 
  Julian 
  Adrian 
  

   O'Maley, 
  formerly 
  of 
  the 
  Indian 
  Government 
  Telegraph 
  Service, 
  

   who 
  died 
  at 
  ilanchester 
  in 
  1913, 
  aged 
  48. 
  He 
  had 
  taken 
  great 
  

   interest 
  and 
  part 
  in 
  the 
  Persian 
  Gulf 
  dredgings.
