Inhabits the coasts of Amboyna. Rumphius. Ceram, Banda, 

 and Ceylon. Bruguiere. 



The beautiful shells which compose this species vary from one 

 inch to two inches and a half in length, and are about half as 

 broad ; Dr. Solander, as well as Favanne and Bruguiere, 

 considered the Linnaean C. Ficarius to be only a variety, 

 and many of the other varieties are very valuable. Lamarck, 

 for his C. Ficarius, has not quoted any other author, and it 

 appears to be a different species.
