Sometimes the lir?e of the upper surface are not perceptibly 

 granose except those near the suture. The species differs in details 

 of granulation from C. orn.atum Lam., and belongs nearer to several 

 Chinese species. The locality given by Sowerby should be confirmed.

Shell conical, imperforate, gray, with a blue tinge, sparcely spotted 

 with brown, the apex blackish-brown, base with three series of brown 

 dots. Spire rather acute ; whorls 7, separated by an impressed sut- 

 ure, convex, obtusely angulated, striated, spirally irregularly lirate, 

 upper liras minutely granulated ; last whorl obscurely biangulate, 

 convex on the base. <1 'ii<ely spirally lirate, decussated by striae. 

 Aperture obliquely subquadrate; columella slightly oblique, pearly. 

 Operculum thin, corneous, multispiral, concave outside.

Allied to Trockilus [sic] unicus Dkr. and Troclnhi* consors Lke., 

 but differing from both in form and sculpture. The species, like T. 

 unicus seems to vary considerably in color. Only one specimen of 

 each of the two varieties is at present known. (Soivb.~)

Shell small, solid, imperforate, conical, granose, whitish ; whorls 

 plane, separated by a profound suture, the last rounded-angular ; 

 base plane; granose cinguli 5 on the upper part of the whorl, 8-9 

 on the base ; aperture depressed, broader than high ; columella 

 oblique, cylindrical, confluent with the basal lip. (PhiL~) 



The shell is very thick, considering its small size, exactly conical, 

 and consists as usual of 7 to 8 whorls. These are completely flat, 

 the last somewhat impressed below the suture, at the periphery 

 rounded-angular. The base is flat. The suture appears much 

 deeper than it really is, on account of the proximity of the granose 

 ridges. These number 5 above, the 6th being covered at the suture. 

 The base has 8-9 weaker granose lirse. The interstices upon the
