206 COMINELLA. 



C. Quoyana, A. Ad., an unfigured species, has no distinctive 

 characteristics in its diagnosis : Kobelt changes the name to 

 Huttoni, on account of C. Quoyi, Kiener. 



C. ACUTINODOSA, Reeve. PI. 81, figs. 435-43T r 439. 



Shell with close revolving grooves, whitish or ash-color, with 

 interrupted chocolate bands or series of spots ; aperture closely 

 chocolate banded within. Length, 1 inch. 



So. Australia ; New Zealand. 



Perhaps only a short variety of C. costata. 'Apparently C. 

 Glandiforme, Reeve (fig. 436), C. Zealandica, Jacq. (fig. 437), 



and C. lurida, Phil. (fig. 439), are synonyms. 



i 

 C. FILICEA, Crosse. PI. 81, fig. 440. 



Has a proportionally longer spire and less numerous nodules 

 than C. costata. Light brown or flesh color, tessellated with 



chestnut-brown. Length, 16 mill. 



Oape York, Australia. 

 C. CITRINA, Reeve. PI. 81, fig. 441. 



Smooth, pale yellowish orange. Length, 1*4 inches. 



Habitat unknown. 



This shell looks nearly as much like a Bullia, S. G. Buc- 

 cinanops, as a Cominella. 



C. NASSOIDES, Reeve. PI. 81, fig. 442. 



Orange-brown, ridges and nodules lighter. Length, 1-5 inches. 



Habitat unknown. 

 Compare with next species. 



C. NODICINCTA, Martens. PI. 81, fig. 443. 



Light yellowish brown. Length 45, diam. 26 mill. 



Auckland Islands. 



Martens says that its Antarctic habitat is undoubtedly correct. 

 I fear that it is not distinct from C. Nassoides, above. 



Unfigured and Doubtful Species. 



C. TASMANICA, Tenison-Woods. . Tasmania. 



Distinguished from G. costata, Quoy, by being double the size, 

 having distinct raised revolving lirae, no costae on the last whorl, 

 and being white or greenish, obscurely fasciate. Length, 30 mill.
