we" omega, sp. n. (PI. V. fig. 29.) 



0. testa ovata, oartilaginea, laevigata, epiderraide tenui sordide 

 straminea induta, postice con tr acta, spira de] eute trun- 



catula, antics dilatata, rotundata, anfractu ultimo tuinescente, 

 labro fere recto, leniter ad basin rotundato, pcrtenui. 



Alt. 6, lat. 4 mm. 



Hab. Gulf of Oman, Cbarbar, 5 fathoms. 



Several examples, some of which seem slightly malformed. 

 0. delieatula, NTevill *, appears the nearest ally. This is 

 reported from both Ceylon and Australia, and about the same 

 size as the proposed new species; the last whorl is, however, 

 much less tumid and full, and the posterior contraction more 

 marked. 



The name Oxynoe, Rafinesque, 1810. has many years' 

 precedence over Icarus, Forbes, 1S14, and the better-known 

 Lophocercus, Kroken, 1847. 



Cylindrobulla systremma^, sp. n. (PI. V. fig - . 30.) 



C. testa parva, elongato-cylindrica, tenuissima, membranacea, 

 superficie undique la:vi, subpellucente, ochraceo-straminea ; an- 

 fractibus 3, apicalibus duobus inclusis deplanatis, ultimo maxime 

 involute ; apertura angustissime supra, ad basin multum latioje, 

 subtruncatulo. 



Long. 6*25, lat. 3'75 mm. (sp. max.). 



I lub. Gulf of Oman, Mekran Coast, off Cbarbar, 40 fathoms. 

 In form resembling the much smaller European species 



C. fragilis, JeftV. C. sculpta, Nevill J, is also comparable. 

 Tiiis species, much of the same dimensions, though a little 

 broader proportionately, is very finely striate, our species 

 being quite smooth. 



Dentalium tomliai, sp. n. (PI. V. fig. 31.) 



D. testa mediocri, multum incurva, longitudinaliter regulariter 

 costata, costis 11-12, interdum versus aperturam antieam evan- 

 escentibus, interdum undique fortibus, regularibus, interstitiis 

 laevibus, paullum excavatis, superficie nunc albescente, nunc 

 ochro-carnea, apice anali in speciminibus haud adultis perminimo, 

 aliter sub lente bifisso, antico nequaquam expanso. 



Long. 22, diam. antic. 3, post. 1 mm.
