West Indies 2 
Dr. Weinkauff quotes several West Indian Islands as loeali- 
ties for this species, but it is not in the Swift collection of W. I. 
shells, nor does it occur in Mr. Krebs’ catalogue. Possibly it is 
a variation of C. nebulosus, Linn. 
C. speciosissimus, Reeve (fig. 21), is a variety, according to 
Dr. Weinkauff, and C. Lubeckianus, Bernardi (fig. 22), is a pale 
example of it. Sowerby considers C. cidaris, Kiener (fig. 23), 
another variety.
