383. maonificus, Reeve. — C. C. aurato similis, sed brevior, 

 magis solidus, supra magis convexus; spira obtusa, (f. 592). — 

 Shorter, thicker, and more convex at the upper part of the body- 

 whorl than C. auratus, of which it is perhaps a variety. 



384. aureus, Brug. — C. oblongus, augustus, cylindricus, trans- 

 verse striatus, fasciis longitudinalibus magnis aurantiis lineis ru- 

 bris nigrescentibus strigatis pictus, interstitiis tenuiter reticulatus ; 

 spira pyramidali, acuta (f. 555). — Striated, narrower than C. au- 

 ratus, with downward bands of colour reticulated between. 



385. clavus, Linn. — C. C. aureo similis, sed crebre reticulatus, 

 fasciis latis fuscis pictus (f. 561). — Like C. aureus, but with close 

 reticulations and cross-bands of brown. 



356. circumcisus, Born. — C. oblongus, angustatus, cylindri- 

 cus, transverse striatus, pallida purpureus, fusco plus minusve ma- 

 culatus et fasciatus, lineis albis sparsim punctatis cinctus (f. 562, 

 and Frontispiece). — Characterized by narrow white bands, which 

 are spotted at intervals. 



m. Narrow, cylindrical ; spire rounded with close, perpendicular 



whorls. 



357. nussatella, Linn. — C. angustatus, cylindricus, striatus,

 (f. 553, 554). — I feel almost tempted to distinguish the latter as 

 a species. 



388. tenellus, Chemn. — C. quam C. nussatella magis angu- 

 latus, lateribus rectiusculis ; spira brevi, obtusa ; anfractibus pau- 

 lulum undulatis; striis minute punctatis (f. 5GG). — Straighter than 

 C. nussatella, with the upper part of the whorl more angular, and 

 the spire short and obtuse ; the sculpture and colouring are finer. 

 It has been thrice named. 



389. dactylosds, Kieii. — C. elongato-cyliudricus, lrevis, auran- 

 tius, maculis parvis trigonis albis sparsim ornatus ; spira prominula,

 ceus, fusco maculatus et fasciatus ; spira products, lateribus con- 

 vexis, apice acuto (f. 537). — A beautiful violet-coloured smooth
