ATILIA. 151 



C. CUMINGII, Reeve. PL 53, figs. 12-16. 



Shell elongated, subcylindrical, recurved at the base, upper 

 whorls minutely ribbed, all the others covered with close, fine 

 spiral striae ; outer lip sinuated above, thickened and dentate 

 within ; purplish, with usually two bands of chestnut dots. 



Length, 19 mill. 



Island of Capul, Philippines ; Mauritius. 



With this species I unite C. lumbricus, Reeve (fig. 13), from 

 the same locality ; it is described as smooth, but the revolving 

 striae are represented on the original figure which I have copied ; 

 the shell is rosy brown, with an obscure reticulated pattern. C. 

 spicula (fig. 14) and C. clausilia, Duclos (fig. 15), are also 

 synonyms. 



Var. ACUS, Reeve. PI. 53, fig. 16. 



Shell longitudinally minutely ribbed towards the apex ; yellow- 

 ish, irregularly longitudinally streaked with orange-brown ; lip 

 simple, scarcely denticulated within. Length, 11 mill. 



This shell is from the same locality as the preceding, and is, 

 as Reeve says, of the same general type. 



C. FILOSA, Angas. PL 53, fig. It. 



Shell elongately fusiform, varying from white to chocolate, the 

 lighter-colored specimens often with brown maculations at the 

 suture, the darker-colored ones frequently with whitish sutural 

 maculations ; whorls eight, slightly convex, covered by fine 

 revolving striae; outer lip slightly thickened externally and 

 dentated within. Length, 11 mill. 



New South Wales. 



Described as a species of J^sopus, Gould ; but the only char- 

 acter which it seems to possess in common with that genus is 

 the unimportant one of revolving striae. 



C. ATTENUATA, Angas. PL 53, fig. 18. 



Shell smooth, shining, moderately solid; whorls eight, very 

 slightly convex, the last' striate at the base; outer lip simple, 

 arcuate behind, contracted at the base, with an external brown 

 varix ; brown, paler beneath the sutures. Length, 9 mill. 



Port Jackson, Australia. 

 C. NYCTEIS, Duclos. PL 53, figs. 19-21. 



Whorls flattened, white with angular notches of chestnut, or
