14 Melvill, Descriptions of Marine Mollusca. 



This very graceful Eulima resembles nearly only two 

 others of the genus, viz., E. attenuata Sowb. and E. 

 epeterion Melv. 



From the former of these (attenuata) it differs in 

 greater width of whorl, and more oblique columella ; 

 from the latter in smaller size, more straightness of 

 whorl, and less width in the last whorl. To E. pur a 

 Ad. it also bears some resemblance, but the outer lip 

 is not thickened as in E. pur a, and the aperture is longer 

 in proportion to the length of the shell in our species.

TURRITELLA FULTONI, Sp. U0V. (PL 6, f. 12). 



T. testa attenuata, pergracili, apice aciculato, pallide albo- 

 ochracea, anfr actions sexdecim ad novemdecini, ad suturas 

 impressis, ventricosis, supernis tricarinatus, quatuor vel quinque 

 ultimis, ad penultimum spiraliter quadricarinatis, ultimo 

 anfractu octo vel novcm carinis instructo; prceter has, carinida 

 minore primam et secundam carinam inter veniente, inter 

 secundam et tertiam, tertiam et quaternam liris elevatis 

 accingendis, apertura rotunda, labro siniplice, basi liratida. 



Long. 27, lat. 8 mm., sp. max. 



Hab. Ormara, 2 fathoms, in sand. 



Allied to T. incrassata Sowb., but the sculpture is not 

 quite the same. The largest specimen is sixteen-whorled, 

 very gracefully attenuate, whorls screw-like, impressed 

 at the sutures, with in the upper whorls three, in the 

 lower four thick angular spiral keels, the last whorl being 

 adorned with eight or nine. Between these principal keels 

 there are lesser ones, sometimes degenerating into mere 

 varied lirae — the base of the shell being also lirate. 

 Mouth round, lip simple. 



Six specimens. 



In the National collection is a tablet of this shell, 

 collected in the Persian Gulf by Mr. W. D. Cumming.
