]901.] MOLLUSKS FROM THE PERSIAN GULF. 389 



possesses kinship, especially, with E. solida Sowb. and inflexa 

 Pease, from both of which it can be differentiated by its delicate 

 translucent substance and smaller size. From E. austrahsiaca 

 M. & S., recently described from the Torres Straits, it differs in 

 greater attenuation and rapidly contracting spire. It much 

 exceeds in size E. latipes Wats., and is broader in convolution of 

 body-whorl than any varieties of E. gentilomiana Issel and 

 E. skoplandi Melv., both of which occur in the same seas. The 

 specific term chosen indicates its Stylifer-like appearance.
