Shell oval, rather ventricose, fine bright pale bay, flecked and dotted 

 with white; dorsalHne pale, waved, placed rather on the right side; 

 base convex, white ; sides romided, brownish towards the upper edge, 

 and at the extremities; the extremities margined, the upper part of the 

 margin cracked, shewing the white spots through it; the spire narrow, 

 very sHghtly dilated in front, brownish white; teeth of the inner lip 

 small, close together; front of the columella deep, concave. 



Axis 2, diameter 1^ inches. 



This shell has many characters in common with C. Vitellus, and indeed 

 may be simply a variety of that shell, like the diseased variety of C. Ara^ 

 hmLi often found in collections. But I have seen several specim^M 

 very nearly alike.
