Inhabits the coasts of St. Domingo and Martinique. Favanne? 

 Isles of France and Madagascar. Bruguiere. 



M. Bruguiere says, this species is twenty two lines long 

 and thirteen broad, and may be known from its congeners by 

 the dotted striae on its spire ; he describes it to have a 

 large dark fawn-coloured zone divided transversely by dis- 

 tant paler lines, and longitudinally by straight or undulated 

 brown stripes ; he also mentions two white bands mottled 

 with brown, one at the upper extremity, and the other below 

 the middle of the body-whirl ; but Favanne describes the 

 colours to be marbled together in a more irregular way.

Inhabits the coasts of Guinea. Bruguiere. 



Shell about two inches long, and not more than half as broad, 

 and differs from C. vitulinus, not only in being of a more 

 slender form, but also in not having the striae on the spire 

 dotted. Schreibers has arranged this species among the 

 shells with truncated spires, but on account of its greater 

 affinity in general appearance, I have followed Bruguiere in 

 placing it next to C. Senator, of which it may probably 

 prove to be only a Variety. 



senator. 43. Shell conical-oblong, grooved, and 

 slightly granulated at the base, yellowish,
