Hah. Karachi; also in mud at 25 fathoms, lat. 28° 23' N., 

 long. 54° 53' E. 



8hell either ovate or oblong-fusiform, bright shining white ; 

 whorls six or seven, the apical being heterostrophous, milky 

 white and bulbous ; the remainder are deeply canaliculate at 

 the sutures, slightly turreted, but not in the least swollen ; 

 the last whorl at the periphery is once sharply carinate (in 

 one or two specimens the keel is not so plainly seen) ; the 

 aperture is oval, within spirally striate, the outer lip is hardly 

 thickened except towards the base, the columella being more 

 strongly plaited. 



This is the species mentioned (Proc. ]\ral. Soc. vol. ii. 

 p. 113) as having been noticed at Bombay, and descriptions 

 draAvn up, when the specimens unfortunately got mislaid, 

 naturally therefore ])recluding publication. Many examples 

 have been found at Karachi by Mr. Townsend, showing some 

 variety in both size and distinctness of peripherial carination. 

 0. cort'nata, A. Ad. (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1873, pi. xxiii. fig. 4), 

 has also occurred in the same locality; it is conspicuous for 

 a thickening below the sutures, thus forming a double angle 

 to each whorl. It does not seem a monstrosity.
