CORALLIOP11TLA. 209 



C. JEFFREYSII, E. A. Smith. PL 66, fig. 371. 



Light reddish brown ; bluish white within the aperture. 



Length, 20 mill. 



Japan. 



This small shell has so much affinity with C. costularis, and 

 the variations of form, sculpture and color are so great in this 

 genus, that I much doubt its distinctness. 



C. INFLATA, Dunker. PL 66, fig. 367. 



White ; yellowish white within the aperture. 



Length, 1*25 inches. 



Java. 



A wider shell, with more numerous ribs than C. coxtularis ; of 

 which it may prove to be only a variety. 



C. SQUAMOSISSIMA, E. A. Smith. PL 65, fig. 354. 

 Ovately fusiform, narrowly umbilicated ; white. 



Length, 31 mill. 



Ins. Rodriguez. 



Said by the author to be allied to C. in flatus, Dunker, " but 

 the sculpture and proportion of the aperture to the shell is very 

 different." Neither of these differential characters appear to me 

 to be of much weight in this genus. 



C. PACHYRAPHE, E. A. Smith. PL 70, figs. 441, 442. 



Varices eight or nine, nodulous at the crossing of the imbri- 

 cately squamous revolving ridges. Lip margin crenulated ; six 

 short lir<ne within the aperture. Light brown, pale at the angula- 

 tion of the whorls ; fleshy brown within the aperture ; columella 



livid pinkish. Length, 16-21 mill. 



Japan. 



Described as a Fusus, which it certainly is not. I think it 

 may be placed in this genus, although it also somewhat resembles 

 Ocinebra. 



C. IMBRICATA, E. A. Smith. PL 70, fig. 440. 



Brownish white, darker on the ribs; aperture white, columella 



brown. Length, 27 mill. 



New Caledonia. 



Described as a Fusus, but I think it may be better placed here 

 or in Cuma. Closely related to the foregoing species.
