"A very handsome species, of which the type, at present 

 unique, is in Miss Linter's collection. It is distinguished 

 from its congeners chiefly by a conspicuous row of brown 

 blotches a little removed from the suture " (G. B. S.). 



34. C. DRAKENSBERGENSIS (Melvill & Ponsonby) . PL 32, fig. 4. 



Shell large, fusiform, delicate, glossy, the apex obtuse, 

 whorls 8, impressed at the suture, a little ventricose; whitish 

 covered throughout with a buff-olivaceous cuticle, except the 

 apex; sometimes almost smooth, ornamented with zebrine 

 brown-chestnut flames, the last whorl similar to the periphery, 

 but from there to the base without markings. Sometimes the 

 whorls are minutely granulate, the zebra-flames almost ab- 

 sent, marked only here and there with interrupted strokes 

 or flammules, the last whorl similarly immaculate below the 

 middle. Aperture oblong, bluish within, the outer lip thin, 

 coJumellar margin sinuous, conspicuously truncate at the base. 

 Length 3.25, diam. 1.75 inches (M. & P.).

"A highly interesting form, two varieties of which are 

 before us. The shell is fusiform, with ventricose whorls, 

 somewhat impressed at the sutures ; the ground-colour is white 

 but with the exception of the apical whorls, a yellowish- 

 olive epidermis more or less shining entirely covers the shell ; 

 this is ornamented with longitudinal zebra-like flames, more 

 or less pronounced. In one specimen they are regular and 

 entirely cover the surface till the middle of the last whorl, be- 

 low which it is smooth, shining, and spotless. This variety 

 is much smoother than the other, which is more or less cov- 

 ered with the minute cross granulations so common in mem- 

 bers of this genus, while the zebra-like markings are almost"
