COMINELLA. 203 



reddish brown or white under a very thin yellowish brown 

 epidermis. Length, 1 '5-1 '75 inches. 



Cape of Good Hope ; Natal. 



C. intincta, Reeve (fig. 402), is a synonym. C. robusta, 

 Kiister, which Kobelt makes a variety = the Anglicana form of 

 C. porcata. 



C. ZEYHERI, Krauss. PI. 80, figs. 406, 406. 



This is considered a distinct species by Kobelt, but the speci- 

 mens figured are evidently immature shells, the first, of C. 

 limbosa, perhaps ; the second, of C. porcata. The first figure is 

 certainly a bad drawing, because it does not show any subsutural 

 depression of the whorls although the description mentions it. 



.Length. '6 inch. 



Cape of Good Hope. 



0. DUNKERI, Kiister. PI. 80, figs. 408, 409, 407. 



Whitish with chestnut revolving lirse. or flames and strigations. 



Length, *5-* 6 inches. 



Cape of Good Hope. 



Another immature shell, described as a Fusus, and by Kiister 

 placed in Buccinum ; where, the specific name being pre-occupied 

 by Lamarck, he calls it B. Dunkeri (figs. 408, 409). It is a 

 doubtful species ; even its pertinence to the genus is problematical, 

 as well as the identity of Krister's shell with that of Dunker. 

 Schrenck reports it from the Bay of Hakodadi,but certainly has 

 mistaken the species. 



C. YIOLACEA, Quoy. PL 80, figs. 410, 412. 



Brown, with violet revolving lines. Length, 1*5 inch. 



Cape of Good Hope. 

 C. DELALANDI, Kiener. PL 80, fig. 413. 



Ash-color, with waved longitudinal brown markings Pine 

 revolving striae. Epidermis greenish. Aperture light chocolate. 



Length, 1'5 inch. 



Cape of Good Hope. 



In form it is very close to C. lineolata, Quoy. 



C. TESTUDINEA, Martyn. PL 80, figs. 414, 415. 



Ash-color, tessellated or flamed with chocolate-brown; lip 

 margin and columella yellowish brown, becoming bluish or choc-
