C. Maltzanianus, Weinkauff (fig. 49), is founded on highly 

 colored specimens, with more rounded shoulder, the striae 

 rather more distant, sometimes subgranulous. These characters 

 are common in some of the Tahitian specimens, but have no 

 distinctive value. 



C. mirmillo, Crosse (fig. 50), described from a single specimen 

 without locality in the Cumingian collection, is of the same 

 general character as C. Maltzanianus. 



Yar. PEASEI, Brazier. 



Spire flat" sides slightly contracted in the middle, lip bright 

 orange, stained with violet, epidermis thicker and rougher than 

 the type. Described by Pease as C. neglectus, a name preoccu- 

 pied by A. Adams. Pease subsequently considered it a mere 

 variety of C.Jlamdus.
