  The 
  type 
  of 
  C. 
  fortior 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  found. 
  

  

  Bartsch 
  discussed 
  the 
  shell 
  characters 
  in 
  detail 
  and 
  illustrated 
  the 
  holotype 
  and 
  a 
  more 
  

   mature 
  and 
  less 
  eroded 
  specimen 
  from 
  tlie 
  type 
  locality. 
  The 
  holotype 
  has 
  the 
  label 
  "387a 
  

   type 
  Catalina 
  Id. 
  Cooper." 
  This 
  label 
  coincides 
  with 
  Carpenter's 
  description 
  (1866) 
  and 
  veri- 
  

   fies 
  the 
  authenticity 
  of 
  the 
  type.
