Bruguiere. 

 This shell is nearly allied to C. marmoreus, of which it is pro- 

 bably nothing more than a variety, and except in the colour- 

 ed markings, differs principally in being more polished, and 

 in having about twelve transverse rows of small granules on 

 the lower part of the body-whirl. It appears on the autho- 

 rity of Mr. Humphreys in the Portland Catalogue, that this 

 is C. nocturnus of Solander, but among his MSS. in Sir Jo- 

 seph Banks's Library I cannot find any species described un- 

 der this name, or any reference to Martini's figures, 687, 

 and 688.

 and somewhat heart-shaped white spots, and 

 marked with two darker transverse bands ;

 f.9. 

 Inhabits the East Indian Seas. Bruguiere. 

 Shell near two inches and a half long, and more than half as 



broad. It has a much greater affinity with C. arachnoidal 



than with C. marmoreus, and its most striking difference from 



the former consists in its yellow throat. 



\kachnoideus. 4. Shell conical, white, reticular-
