CONUS.— Plate XXXIX. 



Hab. Island of Capul, Philippines (found on the reefs) ; 

 Cuming. 

 The specimens found by Mr. Cuming at the above- 

 mentioned island are of much smaller size than that 

 here represented ; they are however highly characteristic, 

 and assist materially to establish the species. 



Species 216. (Mus. Stainforth.)

This shell is very rarely to be found in good condition ; 

 a small specimen in the collection of the Rev. Mr. Stain- 

 forth is the only one I remember to have seen.
