Tryon, followed by Watson, Pritchard, Gatliff, etc., included 

 among the synonymy of C. anemone the name of C. ardisiacus 

 Kiener. But according to the British Museum collection, C. ardisia- 

 cus is the South African shell otherwise known as C. tinianus 

 Hwass, varieties of which are C. rosaceus Chemnitz, and C. scutor 

 Crosse. The African and Australian shells are much alike. C. 

 anemone differs in being more solid, more angled at the shoulder, 

 and deeply grooved on the summits of the whorls. 



Perhaps it was a form of C. anemone, which Angas* found in 

 Middle Harbour, Sydney, and misreported as C. grayi Reeve. On 

 a series in the Britisli Museum, marked as types of C. grayi Reeve, 

 it is noted that it is a West African species allied to C. portori- 

 canus Hwass. C. grayi is extremely like a form of anemone, but 

 has a roundly bevelled shoulder, which the Australian species has 

 not. 



Weinkauff, of course, erred f in associating C. cabriti Bernardi 

 ( = taylorianus Smith), C. borneensis Sowerby, and C. compressus 

 Sowerby, with C. anemone.
