C. JEFFREYsii, E. A. Sinitli. PI. GC, i\<y. 371. 



Light reddish brown ; hhiisli wliitc within the aperture. 



Length, 20 n)ili. 



Jopfm. 



Tliis shimII shell lins so miicli a(lini1_y with (J. vo.st id oris, and 



the viirititions of form, sculpture and color are so great in this 



genus, that I much doubt its distinctness. 



C. INPLATA, Dunker. PI. CO, tig. 3(i1. 



White ; yellowish white within tiie aperture. 

 Length, 1'25 inches. 



A wider shell, with more numerous ribs than ('. cosfularis: of 

 which it may prove to be only a variety. 



C. SQUAMOSissiMA, E. A. Smith. PI. 0.5, fig. 354. 



OA'ately fusiform, narrowly umbilicated ; white. 



Length, 31 mill. 



L/s. Rodrujm's. 



Said by the author to be allied to ('. w1iatu>i, Dunker, '' but 

 the sculpture and proportion of the aperture to the shell is very 

 different." Neither of these differential characters appear to me 

 to be of much weight in this genus. 



C. PACHYRAPHE, E. A. Smith. PI. 70, figs. 441, 442. 



Varices eight or nine, nodulous at the crossing of the imbri- 

 cately squamous revolving ridges. Lip margin crenulated ; six 

 short lirje within the aperture. Light brown, pale at the angula- 

 tion of the whorls ; fleshy brown within the ai)erture ; columella 

 livid pinkish. Length, 10-21 mill. 



Japan. 



Described as a Fusus, which it certainly is not. I think it 

 may be placed in this genus, although it also somewhat resembles 

 Ocinebra. 



G. IMBRICATA, E. A. Smith. PI. 70, fig. 440. 



Brownish white, darker on the ribs; aperture white, columella 

 brown. Length, 27 mill. 



New Caledonia. 

 Described as a Fusus, but I think it may be better placed here 

 or in Cuma. Closel3" related to the foregoing species.
