 loupe. Bruguiere. 



Shell about eight lines long, and half as broad, and is some- 

 times marked with a white band in the middle of the body-

 Inhabits the coasts of Japan. Bruguiere. 

 Shell about thirteen lines long, and rather more than half as 



broad, and is variously mottled with white, brown, or orange. 



M. Bruguiere says it differs from C. jaspideus, principally 



in being larger.

Inhabits the coasts of the Philippine Islands. Bruguiere. 



Shell fourteen lines long, and rather more than half as broad, 

 and was considered by Favanne to be only a Variety of C. 

 Japonicus, from which it differs in having the aperture einar- 

 ginated at the upper extremity, and the whirls concave. C 

 acutangulus of Chemnitz, which is mentioned under the 

 head of C. Augur, a good deal resembles this species, but 

 is considerably narrower in proportion to the length.
