Inhabits the coasts of Bengal, Batavia, Java, and the Isle of 

 France. Favanne. 



Shell about two inches and a half long, and Bruguiere says the 

 Variety A is two thirds, and the other Varieties only half as 

 broad. In the Systema Naturae, among the synonyms of 

 that species some figures of the present shell are confounded, 

 and hence Favanne erroneously considered it to be the Lin- 

 nsean C. Tulipa. Gmelin's C. achatinus is the Linnsean 

 C. Magus. 



luzonicus. 59. Shell conical, whitish, with brown 

 spotted bands, and transverse milk-white in- 

 terrupted lines ; spire convex, and somewhat 

 coronated.

 Inhabits the coasts of the Philippine Islands. Favanne. 

 Shell an inch and a half long, and nearly two thirds as broad, 



and the six ultimate whirls, which form the point of the spire, 



are somewhat coronated; the milk-white transverse lines 



are interrupted by chevrons, and the bands are composed of 



large dark or yellowish brown spots.
