CONUS. ies 
C. CHARACTERISTICUS (Chemn.), Auct. Pl. 3, figs. 38, 39. 
White, irregularly longitudinally flamed, forming two (or 
sometimes three) interrupted broad bands; body-whorl some- 
what inflated, rounded at the upper part, striate below; spire 
striate. Length, 2 inches. 
West Africa, West Indies (authors); Borneo. 
The West Indies are not confirmed as locality by any of the 
local collectors. “Borneo” is upon the label of specimens 
before me, purchased from a London dealer. Deshayes, in the 
second edition of Lamarck, admits the identity with this of 
Lamarck’s C. questor and C. muscosus, the latter being not adult. 
C. Pauline, Kiener, is also a synonym, according to Dr. Wein- 
kauif, and from the description of the unfigured C. Masont, 
Nevill (Indian Ocean), I am inclined to place it here also.
