The peculiar ridged striae form the most constant character of 

 this species. The synonyms are rather numerous, as the form is 

 very inconstant; they include C.maculatus, Sowb. (fig. 56), a 

 short, broad shell, possibly 0. ardisiacus, Kiener, C. Novse- 

 Hollandise, A. Ad. (fig. 57), C. Jukesii, Reeve (fig. 58), another 

 short-spired and broad-shouldered form, C. Cabriti, Bernard! 

 (fig. 59), and C. compressus, Sowb. (fig. 60), an immature shell. 



C. anemone is related to C. rosaceus, Chemn., in its striae and 

 the usual form of the spire and bod} r -whorl, and it is possible 

 that they are specifically identical, although differing in the 

 pattern of coloring. 



C. COCCEUS, Reeve. PL 22, figs. 62, 63.

 rounded, transversely very finely ridged, interstices between the

G. decrepitus, Kiener (fig. 63), appears to be a color- variety, 

 as determined by Reeve, Sowerby and Weinkauff.

Shell somewhat stoutly ovate, rather thick, smooth, base pecu- 

 liarly granosely ridged, spire three-grooved ; white, conspicuously 

 painted with interrupted lineated chestnut blotches, apex pink.
