This shell is narrower in proportion to its length than C. Capi- 

 taneus, from which it also differs in having transverse granu-

 only a Variety of C. Capitaneus, says it sometimes has four 

 bands, and is sometimes of a rich yellow colour.

MSS. that Dr. Solander, as well as Gmelin and Schreibers 



considered it to be only a Variety.
