A graceful shell, with many fine longitudinal riblets, spirally, as 

 it were, interwoven with cross-threads ; just above the sutures 

 there is one rufous thin spiral line. The whorls, inclusive of the 

 heterostrophe apical, are nine in number. The larger example, 

 which we take as our type, came from Kais Island. 



TURBONILLA TEMPLAEIS Melv. 



I. Karachi. 



TURBONILLA TENUTCOSTA Issel. 



P.G. Gulf of Oman, 250 fathoms. Many examples, but 

 few adult. These show the plicae evanescent on the broad body- 

 whorl, the chief characteristic of Issel's species, and we think they 

 are identical.

 it is possible that two species are at present here blended together.
