whorls are four or five spirally banded with raised lirae, 

 the upper lira beaded, the two lower broader, smooth, 

 rufous-spotted. At the periphery there are two similar 

 lirae, and the base is beautifully spirally lirated, the lirae 

 being also rufous-dotted. The mouth is square, outer 

 lip somewhat expanded, columellar margin thickened. 



(funicularis, bestowed in double sense, from the locality, 

 and also from the rope-like spiral banding.)

Alt. 4, diam. 7 mm. 



Hob. Bass Island, 10 fathoms. 



A depressedly conical smooth little species, which, 

 owing to the callus on the columellar margin, seems better 

 included in Ethalia than Minolia. It is of a pale carnation 

 or flesh-colour in hue, inside the mouth a deeper shade of 

 the same colour, painted with fillets spirally of ochre- 

 brown beaded with white. 



Several specimens. 



N.B. — A much larger shell (alt. 6, diam. 11) is in the 

 collection, from the Persian Gulf. This shell, though it 

 shows no trace of carnation tinging, as in the Ethalia just 

 described, yet has so many points in common with it that 

 we expect it will be found to be an outlying variety of 

 this species.
