It is very like C. jeffreysi Monts., but is larger and a little more 

 compressed (in the proportion of yV) between the convex and con- 

 cave curves as compared with its breadth, which is not the case in 

 C. jeffreysi. It is not so swollen, and the posterior opening is larger 

 than in that species ( Watson}. 



C. PROPINQUUS G. O. Sars. PI. 24, figs. 27, 28. 



Shell rather solid, pellucid, glassy, slightly curved, conspicuously 

 fusiform, the middle moderately swollen, ventral [convex] side 

 equably arcuate, dorsal side slightly rising in the middle : anteriorly 

 tapering. Aperture little oblique, suddenly contracted behind ; 

 apical orifice much narrower than the mouth, circular, with entire 

 margin. Surface very smooth and shining, generally with a sub- 

 opaque zone anteriorly ; there is a readily observable internal, sub- 

 apical annular fold. Length 3'2, diam. 1 mill. (G. 0. Sars).

Shell forming a narrow cylinder, slightly contracted at each 

 end, gently curved, thin, transparent and glossy ; sculpture none,

 numerous minute notches, which are not perceptible to the naked 

 eye. Length 0'325, breadth 0'075 inch. (Jeffreys}.
