The authors quoted above, give as habitat of this species " West-Indies" ; the Siboga- 

 specimen, though slightly worn, belongs no doubt to it, I possess and have seen many specimens 

 from the south coast of Java, from Amboina and Borneo. Kiener twice makes use of the name 

 roseus in the plates of his monograph, on PI. 9 and PI. 107, fig. 4, but in the text this latter is 

 named C. rosaceus Kiener; it has been named C. Kieneri by Reeve and has nothing to do 

 with the species under consideration, which is allied to C. mus.

The specimen from Stat. 277 has some tendency to belong to var. vermicularis by the 

 confluence of some of the black spots, but it is nearer to the type ; the fresh shells are covered 

 with a thin, yellowish, slightly fibrous epidermis.

Tryon has united many forms under C. ceylonensis, giving a nearly worldwide distribution 

 to the species ; the Siboga-specimens belong no doubt to sponsalis.
