Shell varying from about an inch and a quarter to two inches 

 long, and rather more than half as broad ; the transverse

 that C. Tfibiuius artd C. bif'asciatus of Gmelin are the same. 



spurius. 24. Shell conical, white, with irregularly 

 alternate rows of broad and smaller spots ; 

 spire depressed, mucrouated, and the whirls

 The Variety A inhabits the Asiatic Ocean, and B the coasts of 



St. Domingo and Guadaloupe. Bruguiere. 

 Shell about two inches long, and rather more than half as broad, 

 with the spire flattish at the circumference, and mucronated 

 at the centre ; some of the rows of spots are frequently con- 

 fluent, and others detached in the same specimen, and in 

 other specimens they are frequently all detached, and often 

 considerably distant from each other. A shell from the 

 Red Sea figured by Chemnitz, x. t. 140. f. 1300, has the 

 spire considerably elevated, and is considered by Bruguiere 

 to be a Variety of this species. 



leoninus. 25. Shell conical, white, with brown 

 contiguous spots forming indistinct bands ; 

 spire flattish, mucronated, and the whirls 

 concave.
