208 CORALLIOPHILA. 



Possibly Purp. aberrans, C. B. Ad., is a still more juvenile 

 state of this species. C. nodulosa and C. salebrosa of H. and 

 A. Adams, from Guadaloupe, W. I., can both be identified with 

 C. galea. 



C. deformisj Lam., is treated as a distinct species by Pease, and 

 he refers to it his C. exarata (fig. 364) as a synonym, but it is 

 only a monstrosity of C. galea ; to which Purpura scalariformis^ 

 Lam., may be also referred. 

 C. COSTULARIS, Lam. PI. 65, figs. 365, 366. 



Shell white, tinged with yellow or purple ; aperture light purple. 



Length, *85-l*35 inches. 



Philippines, Australia, Central Pacific. 



C. undosa, H. and A. Adams, said to come from Sandwich 

 Isles, seems to agree with this species in description, and Murex 

 planiliratus, Reeve (fig. 366), is certainly the same. 



C. BRAZIERT, E. A. Smith. PI. 70, fig. 436. 



White, the lirae reddish-brown ; aperture white. 



Length, 44 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



Described as a Fusus, but appears to be very closely related 

 to C. costularisj Lam. 



C. CONSTRICTA, Koch. PL 70, fig. 434. 



Orange-brown. Length, 40 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



Described as a Fusus, yet 1 think that the figure j ustifies me 

 in placing it in Coralliophila, and that it has a, decided resem- 

 blance to C. Fritschi, Martens. 



C. FRITSCHI, Martens. PL 65, fig. 352. 



Light rosaceous. Length, 32 mill. 



False Bay, South Africa. 



Described from a single, evidently worn specimen. It does not 

 appear to me to be sufficiently distinct from C. costularis. 



C. CONSTRICTA, Koch. PL 70, fig. 434. 



Orange-brown. Length, 40 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 



Described as a Fusus, yet I think that the figure justifies me in 

 placing it in Coralliophila, and that it has a decided resemblance 

 to C. Fritschi, Martens.
