Pfeifferi SEMPER, Landmoll. Phil. p. 191. v. MOLL., Landschn. 

 Cebu, p. 236. 



Closely allied to C. magistra Pfr., C. gloynei Sowb., but less glo- 

 bose, with more oblique aperture and wider lip. The base is not 

 excavated arouni the axis as it is in magistra, and the whorls of 

 the spire do not revolve nearly so closely. 



C. PHLOIODES Pfeiffer. PI. 40, figs. 8, 9. 



Imperforate, depressed, solid ; shining blackish-red under the 

 papery epidermis which is varied with darker streaks ; spire sub- 

 planulate; suture profound ; whorls 4, convex; columella nearly 

 straight, very oblique, subexcavated. Aperture wide-lunar, livid 

 inside, shining ; peristome thickened, reflexed, brown. (Pfr.)

C. CARBONARTA Sowerby. PI. 43, figs. 30, 31, 32 ; pi. 44, fig. 33. 



Imperforate, solid, low-trochiform, varying from subangular to 

 carinated at the periphery, decidedly flattened below the angle, very 

 convex above it. Very dark brown, covered with a light brown 



/ o 



hydrophanous cuticle, usually obliquely streaked dark and light 

 above, the base streaked radially with blackish and light, and usu- 

 ally spirally lineolate. 



The surface is lightly wrinkled by growth lines; the hydroph- 

 anous streaks are broAvnish, less conspicuously contrasting with the 

 dark streaks than in most species. The apical whorls are dark 

 purple or rosy. The lateral outlines of the spire are quite convex. 

 Whorls 5J, slightly convex, the last not descending in front. 

 Aperture oblique, pinkish-plumbeous within; peristome very nar- 

 rowly expanded, deep brown ; the columella nearly vertical, dilated, 

 not toothed, pinkish-brown or whitish.
