numerous narrow fillets articulated black aud white, 



interior purple. 

 Hab. Marquesas Islands. 



The pattern of this shell which is allied in form to the 

 C. minimus and miliaria, is extremely neat, consisting of a 

 number of closely-set narrow articulated fillets of black 

 and white oblong dots upon a dark lavender-slate ground ; 

 besides these there are several white blotches ranging in 

 two bands, and the upper part of the shell is tinged with

Rather a thin shell and apparently of immature growth, 

 but amply distinguished both in form and in its bold style 

 of painting.

Hab. ? 



A rather common species closely allied to C. puuctku 

 latus, but distinguished by M. Kiener and, I believe, cor 

 rectly so. The specimen figured by that author is a highlj 

 granulated one.

The mouknful Cone. Shell oblong, smooth, closel 

 orooved at the base, spire rather elevated, concave!

 with reddish brown and encircled with interrupl 

 fillets of a darker brown, leaving a whitish ban

Though not distinguished by any striking peculiarity 



character, this species is certainly different from any thi 



have preceded it.
