60 CONUS. 



An obscure species. C. suturatus, Kiener,not Reeve (fig. TO), 

 appears to be identical. 



C. RADIATUS, Gmelin. PI. 18, figs. 71-73. 



Shell pale j-ellowish to pale chestnut, often longitudinally 

 indistinctly marked with deeper coloring; spire striate, lower 

 part of bod}^whorl distantly sulcate. Length, l'5-2'25 inches. 



Philippines, Polynesia. 



Reeve described and figured this species under the name of 

 C. Martinianus; he has also called a smaller white variety C. 

 parius (fig. 72); the specimens before me prove' its specific 

 identity with radial us. The white variety is frequently covered 

 by a smooth olivaceous epidermis ; in which state it is C. 

 Gubbse, Kiener (fig. 73). 



C. CONTUSUS, Reeve. PI. 18, fig. 74. 



Shell somewhat cylindrically ovate, rather thin, smooth, with 

 three or four distant grooves at the base, spire finely double- 

 grooved, rude at the sutures, apex very sharp ; ochraceous, 

 stained with ash-blue. Length, 1'25 inches. 



Moluccas. 



Whether this species will be found to reveal any design in the 

 coloring, it is impossible to foresee from the single worn 

 specimen. 



C. OCHROLEUCUS, Gmelin. PL 18, fig. 75. 



Shell long and narrow, distantly grooved towards the base ; 

 yellowish brown, variously shaded, with a rather indistinct 

 median lighter band ; aperture white ; spire striate, maculated 

 with yellowish brown and white. Length, 2-2'5 inches. 



Australia, New Caledonia, Viti Islands. 



C. IODOSTOMA, Reeve. PI. 18, fig. 76. 



Shell thin, narrow, somewhat inflated; spire finely grooved, 

 apex sharp ; body-whorl striate towards the base ; violet-white, 

 clouded with chestnut, with revolving lines of chestnut spots. 



Length, 40 mill.
