Inhabits the American Ocean, and principally the coasts of

M. Bruguiere's shell was nineteen lines long, and one inch 

 broad, but he says that this species is most commonly one 

 third smaller ; the whirls are coronated on the lower side, 

 and on the upper are three elevated striae which follow the 

 course of the spire, and the sutures are marked by a fawn- 

 coloured line ; the tubercles are white, with the interstices 

 of a rich brown. 



distans. 64. Shell conical, somewhat elongated and 

 striated with distant impressed lines ; base 

 and throat violet ; spire convex and coro- 

 nated.

 Inhabits the South Seas, and the coasts of Nicobar. Chem- 

 nitz. New Zealand. Bruguiere. 

 Shell frequently three inches and three-quarters long, and less 

 than half as broad, of a yellowish olive colour, and sometimes 

 marked with a brighter transverse band. M. Bruguiere 

 gives it as the opinion of M. Hwass, that Martini's figure 

 701, which is much smaller, represents a young shell of this 

 species, but 702 has more the appearance of a decorticated 

 shell of C. citrinus. The name of C. Mennoneta, on the 

 score of priority, more properly belongs to a decorticated 

 shell of C. Virgo. See Favanue, ii. p. 577, and Knorr, ii. 

 p. 44. 



caledonicus. 65. Shell conical, of an orange co- 

 lour, with crowded transverse parallel red 

 striae ; spire acute, coronated.
