  three 
  subdivisions 
  proposed 
  are 
  as 
  follows: 
  — 
  (1) 
  P.G. 
  The 
  

   whole 
  Persian 
  Gulf, 
  including 
  the 
  Gulf 
  of 
  Oman, 
  with 
  Maskat 
  and 
  

   Jask, 
  bordered 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  by 
  long. 
  59° 
  48' 
  E. 
  (2) 
  M.C. 
  The

  (3) 
  I. 
  The 
  coast

  abutting 
  on 
  Karachi, 
  say 
  long. 
  66° 
  40' 
  E., 
  south- 
  

   east 
  to 
  Panjim, 
  lat. 
  15° 
  50' 
  N., 
  long. 
  74° 
  E. 
  

  

  In 
  conclusion, 
  I 
  am 
  indebted, 
  now 
  as 
  on 
  many 
  previous 
  occasions, 
  

   to 
  Mr. 
  Edgar 
  A. 
  Smith, 
  I.S.O., 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Ernest 
  Ruthven 
  Sykes, 
  

   F.L.S., 
  for 
  aid 
  in 
  the 
  requisite 
  researches. 
  To 
  Mr. 
  Lionel 
  E. 
  Adams 
  

   I 
  owe 
  perennial 
  gratitude 
  for 
  having, 
  now 
  some 
  time 
  ago, 
  presented 
  

   me 
  with 
  the 
  series 
  that 
  his 
  uncle. 
  Dr. 
  A. 
  Adams, 
  had 
  retained 
  for 
  his 
  

   own 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  MoUusca 
  dredged 
  by 
  him 
  in 
  Japan, 
  which 
  

   consisted 
  of 
  about 
  200 
  to 
  250 
  species, 
  accompanied 
  with 
  copies 
  of 
  

   reprints 
  of 
  all 
  his 
  descriptions. 
  Although 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  proportion 
  

   of 
  these 
  are 
  unnamed, 
  the 
  collection 
  is 
  of 
  much 
  service 
  in 
  showing 
  the 
  

   various 
  Ear 
  Eastern 
  forms, 
  and 
  with 
  its 
  aid, 
  coupled 
  with 
  those 
  

   from 
  the 
  same 
  source 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  I 
  have 
  made 
  many 
  

   comparisons 
  amongst 
  the 
  Pyramidellidae. 
  

  

  The 
  great 
  majority 
  of 
  specimens 
  were 
  collected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  W. 
  

   Townsend, 
  but 
  a 
  few 
  were 
  found 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Alexander 
  Abercrombie 
  at 
  

   Bombay.
