In tliis species the spire is shorter than in C. scalarina, the 

 ribs are more numerous, they are slightly reflected, and at the 

 angle of the whorl produced into three points. The colour con- 

 sists of two dark brown bands, which are as distinct in the 

 aperture as on the whorls. 



Collected by Mr. Cuming at the Isle of Negroes, Philippines,

Of an obhquely oval form with laminated ribs in an oblique 

 direction, crossed by raised lines, wliich near the suture of the 

 whorls are elevated into a single point each. There is a band of 

 dark brown seen between the ribs near the angle of each whorl.
