seven are on the outer lip — the last of these and the first on the colum- 

 ella are the largest. The deep brown of the throat is visible through 

 the shell. In some specimens there is a finely mottled appearance 

 over the lower whorls of the shell. The white line along the suture is 

 placed on the upper part of the whorl. The outline of the shell is 

 remarkably fusiform.

Remarks, — This shell was brought by lieutenant Humphreys from 

 South America, and presented, with many other fine specimens, to the 

 Academy. It resembles the C. Jamaicensis (Fer.) ; but is much larger, 

 and has finer striae. The rotundity of the mouth is slightly modified 

 by the junction of the superior part with the columella.
