brown. A very variable shell, smaller than C. tenebrosus. (Hut-

 p. 562, 1884, etc. (not Trochus pupillus Gould, U. S. Expl. Exped. 

 xii, p. 186, atlas, fig. 208). 



My knowledge of this shell is derived wholly from Professor 

 Button's description and remarks. It is not the T. pupillus of 

 Gould, which is undoubtedly a species from the West coast of North 

 America. 



C. SANGUINEUS Gray. PI. 47, figs. 92, 93. 



Shell top-shaped, white, with rows of numerous blood-red spots ; 

 whorls flattened, the last obscurely keeled ; the front rather convex, 

 with sharp-edged, low spiral ridges. ( Gray.}

 p. 362 (1884) ; and var. ccelatus HUTTON, /. ., p. 363. 



Hutton says of this species, which I have not seen. Shell im- 

 perforate, spirally grooved. Pinkish white, with red spots on the 

 ribs, or with red flexuous longitudinal markings ; interior and mouth 

 white.

Smaller but more deeply ribbed and the grooves wider. (Hutton.)
