This shell a good deal resembles the Variety B of the preced- 

 ing species, but is only about an inch and a quarter long, 

 and not much more than two fifths as broad ; the throat is 

 said to be brown, but in the figure it is coloured of a bluish 

 grey with a brown band parallel to the outer lip. 



lividus. 62. Shell conical, with transverse granu- 

 lated striae at the base, and livid with one or 

 two white bands; spire coronated and ob- 

 tuse ; inside violet.

 Inhabits the coasts of St. Domingo, the Cape of Good Hope, 



Isle of France, and the East Indies. Favanne. 

 Shell near an inch and three-quarters long, and rather more 

 than half as broad, and marked with transverse slightly ele- 

 vated striae, which become almost imperceptible on the up- 

 per half, and on the lower half are strongly granulated ; 

 there is generally a milk-white band at the upper extremity 

 of the body-whirl, and another of a more dirty white about 

 the middle ; the summit of the spire is obtuse, and always of 

 a pale rose colour. C. lividus of Chemnitz, xi. p. 60. t. 

 183. f. 1776 and 1777, appears to be a Variety of C. Rus- 

 ticus. 



mus. 63. Shell conical, with elevated transverse 

 striae alternately larger, cinereous, with a 

 white band, and obsolete longitudinal yel- 

 lowish brown stripes ; spire acute and coro- 

 nated.
