C. CECiLLEi Philippi. PL 67, fig. 64. 



Shell conical, imperforate, thin, transversely striate-granulate ; 

 whitish, marbled and flamed with brown. Whorls angulated in the 

 middle, sculptured with two gi-anose stria3 above and below the 

 angle, alternating with smooth ones ; periphery angular ; base convex; 

 closely concentrically striate ; aperture rhombic-rounded ; columella 

 arcuate, cylindrical, simple. {PJilL) 



The shell is thin, conical, imperforate, and consists of 8 whorls. 

 These are carinate in the middle, above and below the carina 

 sloping ; the last is separated from the convex base by a keel. The 

 carina of the whorls is granose ; above and below it are 2 to 3 

 granulose lines, alternating with elevated smooth ones. The base 

 shows 15 to 20 compressed, elevated concentric lines, smooth except 

 for quite visible incremental lines. Aperture quadrangular, with 

 rounded corners ; outer lip thin, sulcate on the edge ; the columella 

 oblique, cylindrical, arched, passing gradually into the basal lip. 

 The coloi is yellowish or brownish-white, with dark reddish-brown 

 spots, showing a blackish point at the carina.

Shell conical, imperforate, thin but solid, pale yellowish-gray, 

 radiately flamed with reddish, base minutely dotted with reddish on 

 the Yn-x. Surface of whorls encircled by unequal s'zed granose 

 lirre, the granules not compressed, bead-like ; there are about 7 such 

 lirre on the penultimate whorl, and several minute ones intercalated 

 toward the periphery ; on the base there are about 15 lira3 of nearly 

 equal size, the inner ones granulose, the outer several nearly or quite 

 smooth. The spire is conical, apex acute, apical whorl smooth, 

 earlier whorls each wath 3 strong smo()th carinre ; sutures impressed ; 

 whorls 7, convex, the last rounded and obscurely biangulate at the 

 periphery. Aperture rounded, broader than high, iridescent inside; 

 columella arcuate, a little excavated in the umbilical region.
