nella, the former as synonvmous with C. porcafa^ the latter as a 

 distinct species ; but the want of a superior depression on the 

 whorls and the possession of tuljercles near the base of the colu- 

 mella show that Krauss was right ii1» comparing it wath C. rubi- 

 giiiosus, although it ma}- not be identical with that species. It is 



chestnut-brow^i, with a white band.

Among eight specinu^ns, two had white linnds. The specimen 

 figured is evidently not adult. I cannot, for want of nuiterial, 

 deci<le upon its position, but think it will prove to be synonymous 

 with a. fiimo.KUs. Kohelt's ligure of this species is incorrect, and
