 PL 21, fig. 7. 



Shell turbinated, slightly inflated, smooth, grooved towards

 fine, close hair-like lines ; spire convex, tessellated with orange-

This species is scarcely distinguishable from C. spectrum. C. 

 Verreauxii, Kiener (fig. 54), C. stillatus, Reeve (fig. 55), and 

 possibly C. inflatus, Sowb. (PL 27, fig. 7), are syno^^ms. The 

 latter does not much resemble this species, and remains uniden- 

 tified, but Sowerby has himself suggested its place here.
