Some of tbe specimens of this variety are so very distinct from die 

 type shell of this variable species, that I should have been inclined; to 

 have described them as a distinct species, if there had not been some- 

 specimens brought with them that completely united them with the typcj. 

 differing from it only in the band being of a reddish purple instead of a 

 blackish colour. In the most distinct state the shell is oblong ovate, and 

 distinctly margined all round ; reddish white, without any appearance* of 

 bands, and minutely speckled with unequal sized brown dots; therieare 

 two rather larger similar dots at each extremity, in the place of the two 

 black spots of C. Hirundo. 



These shells were first brought to this country by Capt: William Owen,
