narrowly expanded, fleshy-livid ; columellar margin forming a right 

 angle with the basal. (&) 



Alt. 35-42, greater diam. 70, lesser 55 mill. 



Lianga, Mindanao.

Stands between C. cryptica and C. garibaldiana. 



C 1 . DATAENSIS Semper. PL 51, figs. 13, 14, 15. 



Imperforate, solid, depressed-globose ; surface roughened by spiral 

 sulci below, and obliquely descending wrinkles above. Chestnut-brown 

 unicolored, or having a yellow band at the periphery, the lower 

 edge of which is not sharply defined. 



Spire low-conoid, apex obtuse. Whorls 4s, the last slightly de- 

 scending in front. Aperture wide, fleshy-white within ; lip well ex- 

 panded, subreflexed, flesh-colored ; columella wide, not deeply in- 

 serted, oblique, truncated below. Alt. 32, diam. 37 mill. 



Foot of Mt. Data, near the mines of Mancdyan, Western Cordillera 

 of N. Luzon, at 5-6000 ft. alt.

The rudely sculptured surface is very characteristic, and shows 

 this species to be closely allied to the group of C. cryptica rather 

 than to the " Cochlostylce hypomelanue," where it is grouped by 

 Semper.

 181. 



The shell is imperforate, heliciform, depressed-globose solid and 

 opaque, richly colored, but lacking hydrophanous cuticle; suri'ace 

 lacking spiral sculpture ; last whorl scarcely descending at the aper- 

 ture. Lip blunt, usually very narrowly reflexed throughout ; col- 

 umella subvertical, deeply inserted, the umbilico-columellar area 

 covered with a concave white callus. Type, C. aurata. 



Anatomy as in typical Cochlostyla. 



A small group of rare shells, confined to northern Luzon. It 

 is impossible to place these species in either Corasia, Calocochlea or 

 Pfeifferia; , they form an independent group allied to these sections 

 and to Pachysphwra.
