apical and glassy, the rest unequally longitudinally ribbed, 

 and spirally closely striated, pale straw colour, dorsally 

 marked with darker red-brown effusion, and often spotted 

 below the sutures. The lip is thickened, white, being within, 

 as on the columellar margin, minutely denticled. There 

 are two brown spots at the back of the outer lip.

 third a paler ochre yellow. The clathrations are beautifully 

 regular, and in a young specimen the point of junction 

 between the longitudinal and spiral lirae is gemmuled 

 with shining small papillae. The whorls are seven or eight, 

 aperture acute, outer lip thickened, crenulated sinus wide, 

 but not cut deeply, columella nearly straight. 



Although half as long again (9 as against 6 mm.) as 

 any of the typical foraminata Rve, that have been collected 

 at Karachi (Townsend), or Bombay (Blanford, Aber- 

 crombie, etc.) where it seems to be abundant, a closer 

 investigation convinces me it is not specifically distinct.

 may be observed that a few points of distinction, in
