 mcholorical Illustrations.

Hab. Islands of Mindanao and Corrigidor, Philippines, 

 (in coarse sand from depths of about eight to twenty- 

 five fathoms) ; Cuming. 



I am glad to be able to confirm the value of this species 

 from the produce of Mr. Cuming's researches among the 

 Philippine Islands.

Hub. ? 



Distinguished from the C. Caledonicus, to which it seems 

 very closely allied, by its narrow attenuated growth and 

 the absence of any indication of granules ; whilst the apex 

 is more largely and rudely coronated.
