ultimo anfractu versus basim attenuate, et sulculoso, apertura 

 ovato- oblong a, labro crassiusculo, intus multidenticulato , 

 columella simplice. 



Long. 6*50, lat. 3mm. 



Hab. Bahrein, Persian Gulf (Captain Cartwright, 

 R.N.). 



Several specimens received from Captain Cartwright 

 of an almost smooth Mitrella, eight-whorled, and typically 

 striped with longitudinal yellow or whitish flames on a 

 dark-chestnut ground. There is, however, more variable- 

 ness in marking, other specimens being yellow-chestnut 

 and round spotted ; others, again, paler, and showing the 

 white marking as calcareous, on a pale cinereous semi- 

 transparent ground. It is a smaller, more compact shell 

 than C. Euterpe Melv. from Bombay, and which Mr. 

 Townsend has also dredged at Karachi. The specimens 

 have been examined by Mr. Stephen Pace, who meditated 

 at one time describing them, and, indeed, gave the name 

 as above in MS., in honour of the discoverer; but his 

 approaching departure to the East Indies has compelled 

 him to abandon the idea, and, accordingly, we include it 

 in this paper, gladly adopting his proposed name for 

 the species.
