 as v. Martens has suggested, the latter being a much more ventricose species.

This species is still nearly allied to the preceding one, the specimen from Stat. 282, 

 though not so sharply sculptured as the other ones, has however the same narrow shape. I 

 have not quoted Kiener's C. subulatum Lam., as the figure differs too much from those of 

 the other authors.

I owe the identification of this very small specimen, which is moreover a dead shell, 

 to the kindness of Mr. E. A. Smitii, who compared it with the British Museum specimens.
