This species is closely allied to the more solid, more opaque and 

 larger C. smaragdina. Indeed, Semper seems disposed to unite 

 smaragdina, cegle, cumingi and straminea as varieties of a single 

 species. This union, although not unlikely, w r ould be premature 

 until their coalescence is proven. 



Var. BARAND^ Hidalgo. PL 1, figs. 10, 11 ; pi. 9, figs. 69, 70. 



Shell of a shorter, ovate form, the spire shorter and having more 

 convex outlines than in typical cegle. White under a very thin 

 buff cuticle, the lip and a columellar crescent dark brown ; columella 

 flesh colored, slightly concave.

 andce HIDALGO, Journ. de Conchyl. 1887, p. 153. 



Several specimens before me, two of which are figured on pi. 9, 

 figs. 69, 70, show a transition toward the true C. cegle ; and I am 

 therefore inclined to rank this as a variety. 



C. OVIFORMIS Semper. PL 8, fig. 55. 



Imperforate, egg-shaped, thin, subdiaphanous, shining ; whorls 5, 

 slightly convex, the last a little longer than the spire ; suture sub- 

 impressed ; columella twisted, subexcavated. Aperture quadrate- 

 oval, white ; peristome thin, reflexed, white. 



Length 50, diam. 37 ; aperture, alt. 29, breadth 19 mill. (Sem- 



per.)
