C. DECLIVIS, Sowb. PI. 16, fig. 53. 



Creamy white, freckled with brownish, giving the shell the 

 appearance of having been dusted over with capsicum pepper. 

 Marginal spots few in number, dorsal line broad, base similar to 

 G. angustata. Length, -9-1-2 inches. 



Portland, Victoria. 



Referring to C. angustata, Dr. Gray says : " When complete, 

 the back of the shell is pale whitish brown, with a broad sub- 

 central dorsal line, and minutely freckled with brown specks." 

 As this description corresponds closely with that of declivis, it 

 is quite possible that the two species are identical. 



C. PIPERITA, Soland. PI. 16, figs. 49, 50, 58. 



Pale chestnut-brown, obscurely minutely dotted and orna- 

 mented with four narrow interrupted bands, base white, teeth 

 small, sides brown-spotted. Length, -65-1 inch. 



Australia. 



The variety bicolor, Gask. (fig. 58), is usually three-banded, 

 and presents sometimes a zigzag appearance, occasioned by the 

 coalescence of the central bands. Worn shell, pale flesh-color. 



C. PULICARIA, Reeve. PI. 16, figs. 59, 60. 



Differs from the preceding in being more cylindrical, the 

 bands are more broken up into spots, and the dots on the back 

 are more conspicuous. Length, -65-1 inch. 



Australia. 

 C. ALGOENSIS, Gray. PL 16, figs. 56, 51. 



Yellowish, sides and back dotted with reddish brown, base 

 white, teeth on outer lip strong, those on inner lip nodular, 

 aperture rather wide. Length, 1-1-2 inches. 



Algoa Bay. 

 C. FUSCO-DENTATA, Gray. PI. 16, figs. 54, 55. 



Dirty drab, covered with rufous-brown close spots, like those 

 on G. errones, but larger, and more suffused ; teeth brown, 

 rugose, ridged across the base. Length, 1-4-1-6 inches. 



Cape of Good Hope. 



Young shell somewhat ribbed across the back. 



('. siMiLis, Gray. PL 16, figs. 62, 63 ; PL IT, fig. 69.
