Shell near two inches long, and about half as broad ; livid or 

 yellowish, with roundish green spots, and a greenish dorsal 

 line. Martini's and Chemnitz's figures are said to represent 

 the same species, and they are a good deal alike, except that 

 in the former there are brown markings like Arabic charac- 

 ters between the spots, in the same manner as in C. Histrio. 

 Martini quotes Rumphius, t. 39- f. H, which has a very simi- 

 lar appearance, and is the C. Indica of Gmelin.
