•^^'This'species comes nearest to C. kalryeaense, hut ^anis the 

 crenated aperture and is considered distinct by Mr. Blantord. 



^^NrndllT'lhen figuring this species,t gave some further parti- 

 culars of the operculum, which he states "externally presents a 

 curious analogy to that of some species oi Turbo ;,t is convex, 

 testaceous, srnooth, with only a very small and inconspicuous 

 'umbo,' or opening, which is situated considerably above the 

 centre, consequently near the top of the aperture.
