 This shell is smaller, and narrower in proportion to its length 

 than C. Tigris, which it much resembles ; it differs also in 

 the colour of the upper part being strongly tinged with red, 

 the spots very much smaller, and the base more thickly coat- 

 ed with enamel. Martini, as well as Solander, considered 

 it to be a distinct species.
