C. testa ovali, liueis uiidulatis, paululum elevatis ciiicta ; costis 

 crassiusculis subnoduliferis ; aiifractibus subaiigulatis ; apertura 

 interne striata; columella crassa, granulosa: colore fulvo-fusco, 

 precipue ad angulum anfractuum^ interruptim fasciato. 



From Van Dieman^s Land. Mr, Cuming possesses a variety of 

 stunted growth from the Philippines. Tliis species was originally 

 included with the preceding, from wliich it diifers in the fineness 

 of the stria3, and the smallness of the spire compared with the 

 body whorl.

C. testa oblonga, costis longitudinalibus noduHferis, et costis 

 transversis subduplicatis corrugata : apertui-a ovata oblonga, 

 margine diffusa, emarginata interne leviter costata, postice sub- 

 canaHfera; columella bi-pHcata, granuhfera. Colore fulvo, inter 

 costas fusco, in medium anfractuum albo-unifasciato. 



Prom Eeal Llejos, Iquique, Callao, and Puerto Portrero. The 

 more or less duplicated ridges in crossing the longitudinal ribs 

 form small nodules particularly at the angle of the whorls ; but 

 they are much more distant than in C. granulosa.

C. testa oblonga clatlirata, pone columeUam umbilicata, costis 

 longitudinalibus et transversis noduliferis canceUata ; anfractibus 

 angulatis ; apertura plerumque subquadrata, postice et antice sub-

 emarginato : columella corrugata, irregulariter tripKcata ; colore 

 fusco. 



Prom Panama, and a dwarf variety from the guK of Porseca. 

 The shell is cancellated by equidistant bars crossing each other, 

 and forming nodules at their junction. The mouth is strongly 

 ribbed internally ; the outer hp is rather dilated and dentated ; 

 the columella is corrugated, and has tlu-ee irregular folds, of M'hich 

 the lowest is the smallest. After carefully noticing the gradation 

 of specimens, I am led to regard the variety, fig. 80, named 

 C. cremata by Hinds, as correctly included in tliis species, although 

 more conical in form. There is also a dwarf variety which is 

 short and rounded, left out of the plates by oversight.
