Testa magna, gracillima, turrito-subulata, solida, opaca, obscure 

 ccrasina ; spira valde exserta, fere sixbulata ; apex acutus. Anfractus 

 16^, lentissime accrescentes, levissime convexiiisciili, sutura linear! 

 disjuncti, distincte densestriati ; ultimus siibtus vix attenuatus, dorso 

 rotundatus, ad apcrturam fere costulato-striatus, -*- altitudinus testae 

 a^qiians. Apertura parva subverticalis, subaxialis, ovato-piriformis, 

 faucibus castaneis, sinulo elongate ; peristoma breviter solutum, 

 superne leviter emarginatum, crasse albo-labiatum. Lamella? validae, 

 superior marginalis obliqua cum spirali multo humiliore continua ; 

 inferior remota angularis rccedens, a basi intuenti spiraliter non torta ; 

 subcolumellaris inconspicua. Plica principalis modica, intus lineam 

 lateralem paullo transcurrens ; palatalis supera longa autrorsum 

 divergens, secunda ptinctiformis, infera brevis, loco lunellae striga 

 indistincta albida, lata, brevis, stricta. Alt. 34-5 mm. ; diam. max. 

 5-75 mm. ; alt. apert. 6-25, lat. apert. 4'5 mm. 



A single specimen was found by Mr. Schmacker's collector on 

 a trip overland from Kang-cliowfu to Kiukiang, near Kuangshinfu, on 

 the Lingshan, province Kiangsi, 



In general appearance this is comparable to our C. longurio, biit is 

 yet more slender, whilst the shell and interior of the mouth are of a 

 dark cherry red, the " sinulus " is longer and larger, the lamella 

 superior is strongly inclined to the left, the lamella inferior very 

 far from the lamella superior, and visible through the aperture 

 only as a small rounded off prominence ; the lamella subcolumellaris 

 is altogether invisible ; the upper plica palatalis is very long and 

 distinct ; the lunella, as far as it can be made out, straight and not 

 crooked. In systematic position the species ranks next to C. Cecillei, 

 Phil., from which, however, it is easily distinguished on account of its 

 slender form and much smaller aperture.

We have at last succeeded in obtaining the genuine C. Cecillei, 

 Phil. ; our specimens are in every respect identical with the type in 

 Cuming's collection in the British IMuseum (jSTatural History) with the 

 label in Pfeiffer' s handwriting. AVhat we have hitherto mistaken for 

 C. Cecillei, and referred to as such in Xachr. Bl. d. d. Mai. Ges. 1890, 

 is C. clarocincta, Bttg., which, again, is nothing but C. Fortunei, Pf. 

 "What Heude has figured {I.e.) as C. Cecillei is also C. Fortunei, Pf., he 

 having received his specimens from Schmacker.
