Gulf of Oman, lat. 24° 58’ N., long. 56° 54’ E., 156 fathoms. 
Most delicate and beautifully closely encircled with decus- 
sating lire, a faint straw-coloured or golden tinge being some- 
times observable on them. ‘The specimens from the first 
locality mentioned are not so tumid on the body-whorl; we 
cannot, however, separate them, even varietally, from the 
typical form from the Gulf of Oman. This differs from 
D. boholensis, Reeve, not only in the fine decussations, but in 
the canal being more prolonged and greater tumidity of whorls.

above station in company with so many other, mostly minute, 
but hitherto unknown mollusks.
