This form differs from C. ventricosa in being smaller, slenderer, 

 with somewhat higher spire. It may, perhaps, prove to be con- 

 nected by intermediate specimens with ventricosa. The single spec- 

 imen before me agrees with Philippi's figures in all respects except 

 that it is frosted over with silvery cuticle. 



C. VELATA Broderip. PI. 12, fig. 12. 



Imperforate, ovate-oblong, solid ; yellowish, ornamented with 

 two bands and a basal area of chestnut, veiled with a whitish 

 hydrophanous cuticle. Spire conic, apex obtuse. Whorls 6, 

 scarcely convex, the last about equal to three-sevenths the entire 

 length. Columella nearly straight, slightly dilated, rose-white ; 

 aperture oval, milk-white within ; peristome somewhat thickened, 

 narrowly reflexed, brown-edged. (Pfr.) 



Alt. 44, diam. 21 ; aperture, alt. 21, width 12 mill.

Compare C. aplomorpha. 



C. LIBROSA Pfeiffer. Un figured. 



Imperforate, ovate-oblong, solid, striatulate, covered with a some- 

 what hydrophanous cuticle of a parchment-ashen color, irregularly 

 streaked and at the suture ocellated with brown. Spire a little con- 

 vexly conic, obtuse ; whorls 5s, nearly flat, the last slightly shorter 

 than the spire, shining dark chestnut; the cuticle deciduous around 

 the pale, compressed, somewhat straightened columella. Aperture 

 oblique, oval-oblong, bluish inside ; peristome chestnut-black, some- 

 what thickened, revolute, the right margin lightly arcuate. (Pfr.)

B. librosus PFR., P. Z. S. 1856, p. 388 ; Mouogr. iv, p. 375. 

 Very similar in appearance to C. velata, according to Pfeiffer. 



C. FULGETRUM Broderip. PL 4, figs. 32, 33, 34, 35. 



Imperforate, oblong-conoid. Ground color light yellow or light 

 brown, paler on the spire, frequently having a dark band at the 

 columella ; hydrophanous cuticle thin and rather deciduous, marked
