 Quoy, 0. polita, Reeve, and C. niiltostoma, Woods, but we cannot 

 agree with him.

Obs. — This species has been wrongly identified as C. impolita, 

 Sowerby, Thes. Conch., vol. i., p. 132, pi. 39, f. 127, which it 

 much resembles in colouration, but is not nearly so large. C 

 impolita, is flatter in the whorls, and in the specimens before us 

 from Japan the earlier spiral whorls are distinctly longitudinally 

 plicate, a feature never present in our species.
