 Shell subclavately fusiform, the spire being gradually attenu- 

 ated superiorly and obtusish at the apex, of a pale brownish color 

 and obliquely finely striated ; whorls 1 2, moderately convex, 

 slowly increasing and divided by a simple impressed suture ; the 

 last whorl a little narrower than the penultimate ; the aperture 

 oblique and pear-shaped ; the parietal plicae strong and diverging, 

 the upper one reaching the edge of the peristome, the lower one 

 prominent but not joined to the margin ; the subcolumellar fold 

 distinct produced to the lip ; the palatal plications two in number, 

 the upper elongate, parallel with the suture, the lower much 

 shorter, slightly diverging from one another ; the peristome con- 

 tinuous, white everywhere except above, expanded and a little 

 reflexed.

This species has the general aspect of C. Fortunei oi Pfeiffer, 

 but differs in the following particulars. The number of whorls is 

 less, the aperture is a trifle smaller, the lower parietal fold is more 

 prominent and transverse, and the subcolumellar plication is 

 strongly developed, whereas in CI. Fortimei it is apparently alto- 

 gether wanting. Since writing the above description, other speci- 

 mens in better condition have been presented to the Museum by 

 Mr. Geo. Lewis. These also were found at Kobe, and are clothed 

 with a thin olive epidermis.
