Inhabits the East Indian Ocean. Bruguiere. 



Bruguiere says this shell is sometimes though rarely two inches 

 and eight lines long, and an inch in diameter, but Born has 

 described the usual length to be seventeen lines, and the 

 breadth only five lines ; it is sometimes variegated with 

 brownish yellow, and has the transverse bands rather obso- 

 lete. C. Dux of Solander is quite a different species allied 

 to C. ebrccus from which it principally differs in having a 

 more elevated spire.

 striated, of a chocolate colour, with broad 

 longitudinal whitish bands ; spire conical,
