 Shell generally about two inches and a half or three inches 

 long ; ponderous, conical, and smooth, except at the base, 

 which is slightly striated transversely. M. Bruguiere says his 

 C. Bandanus is rather longer in proportion than C. marmo- 

 reus, but differs so little in other respects besides colour that 

 he suspects it is only a variety. C. oculatus of Gmelin has 

 been quoted by Schreibers as a variety of this species, but it 

 appears to me to be undeserving of notice. 



nocturnus. 2. Shell conical, granulated at the 

 base, blackish, with bands of white, some- 

 what heart-shaped, confluent spots ; spire co- 

 ronated and channelled.
