The above description and the figures are drawn from Auckland 

 specimens sent by Mr. G. W. Wright. They seem to differ from 

 C. itruchi* in the narrower apical umbilicus. Button's description

 finely striated ; aperture scarcely produced above the spire. Length 

 1, breath *05 inch." This would indicate a much smaller form 

 than mine, which may prove distinct.

 weaker and more crowded in the middle than at either extremity. 

 Color bluish transparent glossy white. Mouth rather large and 

 long. Outer lip has a sinus just above the body, rises and is an<ru-

 edge advances and its line is slightly convex, tending in front to be- 

 come straight ; at the lower outer corner it is angulated, and across 

 the base is abruptly truncate. Inner lip has u very thin glaze, it is 

 flatly on the body, straight and elongately oblique on the
