The nearest ally appears to be C. brevior, Kiister, wliicli is said by 

 Prof, von ^^artcns and Pfeiffer to be in the Cuminj]^ Collection, though 

 I am imable to find it there now. In separating- the species I have, 

 therefore, relied upon the descriptions of Kiister, Pfeiffer, and Prof, 

 von Martens, and also on the figures given by the first named.' 

 C. ignohilis appears to be smaller, and to have one whorl loss, with 

 a somewhat more obtuse apex. The lamella superior appears to be 

 more oblique, while the lamella inferior comes, though very weakly, 

 lip to the peiistome.
