CONUS. 91 



Yar. VICTORIA, Reeve. PL 30, fig. 6. 



Differs from the type in the reticulations being mostly smaller, 

 arid light-colored, contrasting strongly with the bands of very 

 dark chocolate longitudinal stripes, and in being more or less 



overlaid with violaceous clouds. 



Australia. 

 Var. COMPLANATUS, Sowb. PL 30, fig. 7. 



Shell more inflated than C. Victoria, with much shorter spire, 

 the reticulations more delicate, the bands much lighter in color. 

 This shell, also from Australia, probably passes into the form 

 Victories. 



C. PREVOSTI, Sowb. PL 30, fig. 8. 



Shell narrow, sulcate below ; orange, obscurely fasciated with 

 chestnut, and finely reticulated with narrow orange lines ; spire 

 with two striae. Length, 40 mill. 



New Caledonia. 



I am not acquainted with this species. 



C. CONCATENATES, Kiener. PL 30, fig. 9. 



White, very openly reticulated with orange-red lines. 



Length, 35 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



An unrecognized form, which may prove to be a variety of 

 C. textile. 



C. DALLI, Stearns. PL 30, fig. 10. 



Spire indistinctly grooved ; body-whorl obscurely spirally 

 ribbed below ; yellowish brown, with reddish brown longitudinal 

 stripes, interrupted by four revolving bands of white spots, and 

 occasional white spots on the darker surface ; interior rosy pink. 



Length, 2-15-2-35 inches. 



Gulf of California. 



Closety allied to C. textile, but the spire has a convex outline, 

 the interior is roseate, the spots are smaller, etc. The distribu- 

 tion of C. textile is entirely different ; yet this may be only a 

 variety. 



C. LUCIDUS, Mawe. PL 30, fig. 11. 



Shell white, encircled by equidistant narrow chestnut lines, 

 which are connected longitudinally by semicircular lines some-
