Var. BOHOM-NSIS Brod. PI. 12, figs. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 



Shell lengthened, but variable in degree of elongation ; subcar- 

 inated or almost rounded at the periphery ; whorls 62 to 1\. 

 Ground color yellowish, becoming tawny below, paler above, the 

 earlier two or three whorls brown, covered with a cream-white 

 hydrophanous cuticle, which is cut by zigzag stripes (figs. 8, 10) or 

 by spots (fig. 9) of the ground color. Lip dark brown.

There are often dark bands upon the light ground color, at suture, 

 periphery and columella, as shown in figs. 7, 9; but these are as 

 frequently lacking. Figs. 6, 7, 9, 10, drawn from specimens now 

 before me, show that the pattern of cuticle is excessively variable. 

 Fig. 8 is also a common pattern. 



This form is so intimately related to C. camelopardalis that I can 

 only admit it to the rank of a local variety, characterized by the 

 color pattern only.
