Resembles C. Siculus, which, however, has radiating lines on 

 the lateral areas.

 arcuata, omnino textiliter punctata, olivacea, maculis minutis 

 saturatioribus fulgurantibus variegata ; valvis haud rostratis ; areis 

 latcralibus prominentibus, et lineis elevatis interruptis ramosis ra- 

 diatis ; areis centralibus lineis longitudinalibus rugosis, ad latera

 to be a variety of C. Indicus, but which has no ramose sculpture 

 on the lateral areas. 



Chiton platessa. Testa parva, tenuis, elongato-ovalis, trans- 

 versim arcuata, citrino-olivacea, ubique minutissime punctata ; 

 areis lateralibus parvis, vix elevatis, lineis 2-3 inconspicuis striatis ;

Similar in its general aspect to C. fruticosus, but smaller, 

 smoother, and the sculpture of the lateral areas and terminal 

 valves entirely different. It is almost exactly like fig. 67 of the 

 " Conchological Illustrations." 



Chiton jaspideus. Testa ovata, tenuis, carinata, ubique mi- 

 nutissime punctata, coloribus rosaceis plus minusve saturatis 

 picta ; areis centralibus lineis minutis granosis confertissime stri- 

 atis ; areis lateralibus indistinctis, et lineis 3 ad 4 sparse granu- 

 osis radiatim notatis ; valvis terminalibus granoso-striatis, postica 

 excavata ; margine coriaceo, pruinoso. Long. 1, lat. -fa poll. 

 Hab. Callao. 



Resembles, in size, shape, and sculpture, C. apiculatus, Say; 

 but the sculpture is more delicate, and the color, resembling 

 some varieties of jasper, is quite distinctive.
