Typical C. maritimum is distinctly and rather finely costulate, and 

 while usually almost unicolored whitish, it is occasionally somewhat 

 mottled or sparsely speckled, like C. mumia chrysalis. The costula- 

 tion is decidedly coarser than in the ribbed form of C. sagraianum. 

 C. incanum is smoother than maritimum. The young are usually 

 toothless, but sometimes have 4 teeth and an axial plait. 



Form sublczvigatum Pfr. (PI. 30, figs. 75, 76.) Shell smooth or 

 nearly so, the riblets of the typical form being subobsolete or almost 

 wanting except on the terminal cone, which is finely and densely 

 rib-striate ; whitish, the terminal cone often marbled with gray- 

 brown. Occurs at Punta de Maya, at the eastern side of the en- 

 trance of Matanzas Bay, with the ribbed form (f. 75), on Cayo 

 Blanco, and at or near Cardenas (fig. 76). 



C. INCANUM (Binney). PI. 29, figs. 48, 49, 50. 



Shell rimate, cylindric, solid ; white, usually tinted with gray, 

 blue or fleshy ; whorls 9-12, slightly convex or nearly flat, closely 

 but lightly wrinkle-striate, the last three whorls of about equal diam- 

 eter, those above slowly tapering, forming a cone with convex out- 

 lines and obtuse apex. Last whorl somewhat ascending in front. 

 Aperture truncate-oval, while or flesh-tinted inside ; parietal lamella 

 short, rather small ; axial lamella usually well developed, tooth-like.
