Inhabits the coasts of Barbadoes. Petiver. Jamaica. Lister. 



Shell about an inch and a quarter long, and more than half as 

 broad ; colour on the upper part dirty white, with irregular 

 pale yellowish brown spots, and two much darker blotches 

 at each extremity ; the base and teeth are white, but the in- 

 terstices of the latter are saffron colour. Among the spots 

 there is sometimes a tinge of blue as well as a few dark 

 blotches on the sides similar to those at the extremities, and 

 with this appearance the shell answers tolerably well to Gme- 

 lin's C. leucostoma, which is, however, a species so badly 

 constituted as to be almost undeserving of any notice.
