Shell more pyriform than G. fimbriata , the teeth are coarser, 

 the marginal spots are uniformly larger, and the painting of the 

 extremities is brownish purple, even in small and worn speci- 

 mens. It is closely allied to the larger forms of C. fimbriata.

C. OWENI, Sowb. PL 4, figs, 45, 58, 68-70 ; PL 5, fig. 73. 



Shell generally broader, and more margined than C. hir'undo, 

 marginal dots more numerous ; the teeth are smaller and extend 

 more over the base of the shell. 



From a careful comparison of specimens of this shell with 

 those of C. Menkeana, Desh. (PL 4, figs. 69, 70, from Deshayes ; 

 PL 4, fig. 58 ; PL 5, fig. 73, from Sowerby), both of which were 

 received from Mr. "Sowerby, I do not hesitate to place the 

 latter as a synonym. The only noticeable difference is in the 

 marginal dots, which in Menkeana sometimes run together,
