282 MOLLUSCA. 
In several respects it will be seen that the colours differ from those 
given in the Astrolabe; the papille of the mantle are more numerous 
and less frequently forked. 
Obtained at the Straits of Balaback, Feejee, Tonga, Molucca, and 
Society Islands.

ANIMAL with the mantle coloured burnt-sienna, with undulating 
veins of very deep brown, and very thickly ornamented with short, 
slender, and taper papille ; towards the aperture it is lighter coloured 
than elsewhere. Head and siphon dark umber, the latter fringed at 
the extremity with papille similar to those on the mantle. ‘Tentacles 
lighter coloured than the head, moderately long, largest near the eyes, 
which are about midway, and surrounded by a small circle of white. 
Sides of the foot coloured like the under side of the shell, irregularly 
veined darker. Underneath it is cream-coloured. 
The coloration and papille of the animal fully justify the separa- 
tion of this shell from C. hestrio, as a distinct species. It was found 
at Disappointment Island (Atooa) one of the Paumotu Group.
