Blender, subcylindric but tapering. Whorls 4, regularly in- 

 creasing, separated by a very oblique, impressed suture mar- 

 gined with a pellucid line; last whorl oblong, larger. Aperture 

 piriform, the right margin arching forward; peristome simple, 

 acute, scarcely thickened, the margins joined by a rather opaque 

 callus. Columella somewhat callous, very slightly truncate 

 above the base. Basal margin rounded. Length 3.75, diam. 1, 

 aperture alt. 1 mm. (Ancey).

Specimens of presumably this species are in the Bishop 

 Museum at Honolulu from the following places: Rocky Hill, 

 Honolulu; Kanaohe, Oahu; Mana, Hawaii. I have no exam- 

 ples at hand, but so far as the description goes there seems to 

 be no difference between this species and C. gundlachi.

Shell cylindrically oblong, somewhat fusiform; whorls 4, 

 smooth, shining; apex obtuse; columella arched, truncated; 

 aperture small. Dull white. (Reeve). 



Shell almost cylindric-aciculate, smooth, glassy-clear. Spire 

 almost cylindric, slightly tapering above, with an obtuse apex; 

 suture very little impressed. Whorls 4, rapidly increasing, the 

 last forming two-fifths the total length, dilated basally. Colu- 

 mella rather straightly receding, scarcely noticeably truncate at 

 the base of the broadly angular-ovate aperture. Peristome 

 simple, unexpanded, acute. Length 3, diam. hardly 1 mm. 

 (Ffr.j from spec, from Benson's collection).
