Shell oblong, cylindrical, pale purplish brown ; 

 with three interrupted bands, consisting of short 

 longitudinal stripes, the middle band broadest ; 

 spire umbilicated ; base white ; margin white with 

 a few brown spots ; extremities produced, turned 

 upwards ; outer lip rather thickened, reflected, 

 with its front depressed ; teeth small, numerous, 

 close-set, all within the aperture, which is narrow 

 and linear, length 08. breadth 35. 



From Haynam. This species approaches nearest 

 to C. tabescens of which Mr. Gray considers it a 

 variety : it appears to me to be easily distinguished 

 by the above characters.
