Obs. — An examination by one of us of the shell in the British 

 Museum, named C. pufpurifonnis, Val., leads to the above con- 

 clusion, but their specimen is of a uniform pale yellow, and does 

 not show the colour bands. Tate and May place C. tasmanica, 

 T. Woods, as a synonym, and just above, on the same page, 

 referring to C. laevigata, stnte, " C. laevigata, Sowerby, and C. 

 2>urpuriforinis, Reeve, in the Brit. Mus., are identical (R. 

 Tate)."

 penultimate whorl. Previously we only knew of them being 

 obtained of a uniform white.
