 (Jnfigured. I have not seen specimens of this species. 



C. DUCLOSIANA, cl'Orb. PI. 50, fig. 26. 



Shell oblong, subfusiform, smooth, striated below ; spire 

 elongated, conical, with apex acute, and composed of seven 

 flattened whorls; mouth narrow, flexuose, with a thickened, 

 internally dentate lip ; Avhite or yellowish white, sometimes 

 prettity m;i ciliated with red near the suture. Length, 4 mill. 



West Indies. 



The figure represents a wider shell but with coloring not 

 unlike the " Gothic window summits " of the preceding species ; 

 the description also indicates a longer spire than shown by the 

 figure : so that the two descriptions may possibly be of varieties 

 of a single species. Should they prove to be identical Adams' 

 name would have priority. The above specific name is preoccu- 

 pied by Sowerby. 



C. AVARA, Duclos. PL 50, figs. 27, 28. 



Shell pellucid white, with opaque white spots and an indistinct 

 narrow band on the periphery ; columella plicated. 



Length, 8 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



Of course this is a very different shell from C. avara, Say, 

 which it is possibty intended to represent, and if a good species 

 it must receive a new name. One of the figures, representing 

 the back of the shell, has numerous minute brown dots. 



C. TURBIDA, Ducios. PL 50, fig. 29. 



Shell yellowish, longitudinally strigated and reticulated with 

 chestnut; columella biplicatc, outer lip dentate within. 



Length, 8 mill. 



Habita t unknown. 



Perhaps identical with the preceding species. 



C. UVANIA, Duclos. PL 50, fig. 30. 



Smooth, with produced spire and apparently channeled suture ; 

 outer lip greatly thickened and dentate within, inner lip plicate 

 below ; light yellowish brown, with an interrupted band of large
