C. ulnbilicata has a much wider umbilicus. C. perforata is 

 about double the size, and has decussating spirals. In C. 

 philippinica very faint traces of spiral striation may be 

 traced in places on the last whorl. Both the wider (fig. 67) 

 and the more slender specimens are illustrated.

Shell moderately umbilicate, conic-ovate, thin, glossy, hya- 

 line; spire high conic, with convex sides and rather acute 

 apex. Whorls 6, rather rapidly increasing, a little convex, 

 parted by a deeply impressed suture, striatulate, the strias 

 strongly sigmoid ; the last whorl about half the length of the 

 shell, flattened above, rather swollen and somewhat baggy 

 towards the base, subcompressed around the umbilicus. 

 Aperture oblique, the base receding, irregularly drop-shaped, 

 narrow above, base almost subangular; peristome simple, un- 

 expanded, acute, the lip receding as it nears the suture, 

 curved forwards in the middle. Columella dilated, a little 

 protracted above, not thickened, the margins joined by a dis- 

 tinct parietal callus. Columella vertical, long and rather 

 straight. Length 14, diam. 7% mm.; aperture 8x4 mm.
