The above measure 5-8 mm. in length and both have lost their shells; but the 

 blunt end of the body, the large salivary glands, the formation of the radula and 

 pallial gland, and the presence of the peculiar organ believed by Pelseueer (1888, p. 17) 

 to be an accessory copulatory organ render it easy to identify the specimens with 

 C. I'nliiniintlit. 



Distribution. This species is an abundant dweller of the warm waters of the 

 Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. In the Mediterranean it has only been found 

 living near Gibraltar, but it has been taken as far north as 44" X. in the Atlantic. In 

 the Pacific it has been observed as far south as 4^ 8., but in the Atlantic and Indian 

 oceans the southern limit seems to be about :'>5 S.
