 Shell an inch and three quarters long, and hardly half as broad ; 



and may be distinguished from C. rubiginosus and C. pen- 



naceus by its more pointed spire, as well as its different 



markings. 



pennaceus. 147. Shell conical-oblong, orange- 

 brown, with transverse dotted lines, and 

 heart-shaped white spots ; spire obtuse.

 Inhabits the coasts of Amboyna. Rumphius. China. Favanne. 

 Shell from an inch and a half to two inches and a quarter long, 

 and the breadth is about three-fifths of the length ; it is more 

 ventricose, and shorter in proportion to its breadth, than its 

 congeners, and has the summit of the spire rose coloured. 

 Born's description of the dimensions differ materially from 

 the appearance of his own figure, and also from Martini's fig. 

 596, which he has quoted. Lamarck for his C. Colubrinus 

 has quoted Seba, t. 43. f. 3. and it appears to me to be at 

 most only a variety of this species. 



rubiginosus. 148. Shell ovate-oblong, orange 

 brown, with irregular large oblong white 

 spots; spire convex, obtuse.
