IfiO CANTriARUS. 



obloiig-ovatt', lip tliieki'iiod within, obsolctely pliciite jit margin, 

 coluinolla smooth, canal ratlier hjug. retlectetl. 



Length, 9-10 mill. 



Papimii Is. 



Not figured. Said to be distinguished from C. punvtivulatus 



by,the smaller size, the smaller number and greater size of the 



si)iral lira3 and costsB and by the angulai" whorls of the spire. 



C LANCEOLATUS, Koch. PI 74. fig. 274. 



Yellowish, white banded. Length, 13 mill. 



Ilab. VII known. 



A shell of doubtful generic position, described as a Fusus^ but 

 which riiilippi remarks, might as well be referred to Murex^ 

 rnrpnra or Fynda, the animal and operculum being unknown. 

 C. FiLARis, Garrett. 



Shell solid, elongate, slenderly fusiform, liglit brownish, with 

 whitish mottlings and spirally lineated with deeper brown ; Avhorls

Whorls a little granulated in the miihlle, crossed by longitudi- 

 nal and transverse obtuse, granosc ritlges. Whitish, longitudinal 

 rows of granules orange-brown. Length, 1-25 inches. 



M. of Musljitte, Philippines ; under stones at low water. 



I suspect that this and the following species are really identical. 

 Their generic position is somewhat doul)tful; they might as well, 

 I think, be ranged with /'. mannorala., Reeve, in the genus 

 Pisania. I have before me some shells collected by Mr. Garrett 

 at the Viti Islands which may })Ossibly belong to this species. 

 C. CROf'ATUS, Reeve. PI. 74, lig. 27(5. 



Longitudiiudly very closely plicated, transversely granosely 



ridged. >Saffron-orange, speckled here and there with white ; 



striae between the ridges of a darker orange-brown.
