32 CONUS. 
interrupted fillets of a darker brown, leaving a whitish band 
around the centre and along the upper margin; spire tessellated. 
Length, 37 mill. 
Habitat unknown. 
Dr. Weinkauff supposes this to be a variety of C. acuminatus, 
Hwass ; it appears to me to be too close to C. monile, Hwass. 
C. pirascratus, Sowb. PI. 9, fig. 61. 
Shell rosy white, with a chestnut band on the spire, one above 
the middle and another at the base of the body-whorl. 
Length, 1 inch. 
Habitat unknown. 
An obscure species, only known by Sowerby’s figure and A. 
Adams’ description of C. fasciatus (preoccupied). 
C. spicuLuM, Reeve. PI. 9, fig. 62. 
Shell narrowly fusiform, with greatly elevated spire; body- 
whorl ridged at the base; whitish, with a few chestnut spots. 
Length, 1 inch. 
Philippines. 
Said by Reeve to differ from the young of C. generalis ; it is, 
however, undoubtedly a young shell. Several specimens occurred 
to Cuming, dredged at 25 fathoms. 
C. suBcARINATUS, Sowb. PI. 9, fig. 63. 
Shell smooth, suleate towards the base; white, tinted with 
very light purple, with brown, angulated longitudinal flames, 
interrupted by a central white band; a variety has two wide 
bands, ornamented with interrupted revolving lines. 
Length, 40 mill.

I am not acquainted with this species. 
C. FULGURANS, Hwass. PI. 9, figs. 65, 66. 
Shell ovately conical, rather solid, spire broadly channeled, 
base distantly grooved ; white, with rust-brown flexuous longi- 
tudinal flames, and a white central band, with revolving row of 
spots. Length, 40 mill. 
Moluccas, N. Australia (Brazier). 
Dr. Weinkauff makes C. eximius, Reeve (fig. 66), =the young 
of this species.
