185. ermineus, Born. — C. solidus, oblongus, infra granoso- 

 liratus, lateribus rectis ; aurantius, flammulis albis sub angulo et 

 medio fasciatini ornatus ; spira alba, maculata ; variat albo vix ma- 

 culatus (f. 185; var. lithoglyphus, 1S6, 187). — I am not satisfied 

 of the identity of the latter varieties ; but in a number of speci- 

 mens the gradations are small. 



ISO. bifasciatus, Sowb. — C. quam C. ermineus magis angu- 

 latus, ad angulum late albo-fasciatus, infra medium fascia angusta 

 cinctus (f. 302). — More angular than C. ermineus, with the spire 

 more pyramidal, a band of orange above the angle of the last 

 whorl, and two broad bands in the middle, and below reaching to 

 the base. 



187. festivus, C/iemn. — C. subpyriformis, roseo-tinctus, au- 

 rantius, albo fasciatim floccatus, fasciis rubro irregulariter margi- 

 natus (f. 272). — This richly-coloured shell is a little pyriform, 

 with an obtuse convex spire. 



188. pertusus, Lamk. — C. quam C. festivus magis attenuatus et 

 pyriformis, albo punctatus (f. 273). — Similarly coloured, but of a 

 more elegantly tapering form. 



189. plavidus, Lamk. — C. oblongus, solidus, infra sulcatus, 

 pallide luteus, fulvo late fasciatus, intus et ad basin violaceus; 

 spira subplanata (f. 168). — This is plain-spired, while C. Hindus 

 is coronated : a doubtful distinction. 



190. virgo, Linn. — C. elongatus, tenuiter striatus, fulvus, 

 lateribus medio contractis ; ad basin violaceus, spira brevi (f. 1C7). 

 — Striated, more elongated than C.ftavidus, slightly contracted in 

 the centre. 



191. emaciatus, Reeve. — C. quam C. virgo magis contractus, 

 attenuatus, lineis elevatis rugosis cinctus (f. 214, 258). — More 

 attenuated than C. virgo, with rough, elevated, encircling strife. 



192. millepunctatus, Briig. — C. turbinatus, kevis, lateribus 

 supra paululum convexis, albus, griseo tinctus ; seriatim maculis 

 minutis irregularibus et punctis nigris pictus ; spira plana, canali- 

 fera (f. 151). — It is not easy to distinguish this species from C. 

 litteratus, but it is less straight-sided, the spots are more nume- 

 rous and irregular, and there are no bands of pink or fan-n. 



193. litteratus, Linn. — C. turbinatus, elongatus, lsevis, late- 

 ribus rectis, fulvo seu roseo late fasciatus; maculis nigris regularibus 

 quadratis et punctis intermediis fasciatim cinctus ; spira canalicu- 

 late, planata (f. 155, 156). — See remarks on No. 192.
