included as a subgenus Tenison-Woods' new genus Josepha, 

 although its principal character, the plait on the columella,

0. POBCATA, Gmelin. PL 80, figs. 392, 396, 399, 404. 

 Yellowish brown ; aperture white, tinged with brown. 

 Length, 2 inches. 



New Zealand ; Cape of Good Hope. 



C. ligata, Lam. (fig. 393), is a synonym. 



G f Anglic-ana, Lam. (fig. 394), is called a variety by Kobelt, 

 but is scarcely entitled to be so considered. 



Var. TIGRINA, Kiener. Fig. 39f>. 



Sutural and shoulder ridges usually broken up into granules ; 

 surface usually spotted or flamed with darker brown. 



Length, 1-25-1-5 inches. 



C. pubescem, Kiister (fig. 395), is the same ; as are also C. 

 robusta (fig. 399) and G. biserialis, Kiister (fig. 404). 



C. LIMBOSA, Lam. PI. 80, figs. 39*7, 398, 400, 403. 



Spire shorter, shell consequently more globose than G. porcata. 

 Yellowish to chestnut-brown, the revolving ribs whitish, macu- 

 lated with chestnut-brown ; sometimes unicolored with revolving 

 ribs or simply fine striae. Length, 1*25-1 -75 inches. 



Cape of Good Hope. 



I fear that this will prove to be a well-marked variety only of 

 C. porcata. Typically the color is uniform dark brown ; without 

 ribs (fig. 400). 



Var. LAGENARTA, Lam. Figs. 400, 403. 



Shell with revolving ribs, which are usually white, spotted with 

 chestnut. It is related to C. limbosa in much the same manner 

 that tigrina is to porcata. 



Kiener's G. lagenaria (fig. 94a), which Kobelt refers to dubia , 

 Krauss, as a species of Gominella following lagenaria* represents 

 a species of Purpura (P. scobina, Quoy., Vol. II, 170, t. 52, 

 f. 127). 



C. PAPYRACEA, Brug. PI. 80, tigs. 401, 402.

 concave shoulder of whorls obsolete or barely perceptible. Light
