The reddish cinnamon variety of the C. eburneus, ac- 

 curately described by Bruguiere in the ' Encyclopedie 

 Methodique,' is a remarkable one, and difficult to re- 

 cognise as belonging to this species. The shells of both 

 varieties agree, however, in respect to form, and par- 

 ticularly in the double spiral groove which characterizes 

 the spire.

 This shell is not very much unlike the C. genvanus ; it is 



however smaller, and the articulated fillets are depicted 



with a far greater degree of regularity.
