t. 4, f. l.Z. splendidus Phil. REEVE, Conch. Icon., f. 11. Tr. 

 splendidus PHILIPPI, olim, see Conchyl. Cab., p. 255. 



Reeve's figure of the form called splendidus by Philippi, but 

 afterward said by him to be a var. of nobilis, is given on pi. 15, fig. 

 49. 



C. POUPINELI Montrouzier. PI. 17, fig. 41. 



Shell imperforate, elevated-conical, apex acute, ornamented all 

 over with close obliquely grained spiral riblets, 2 supra marginal 

 riblets stronger ; shining, subcrystalline, fleshy-white, marked by re- 

 mote reddish dots on the supra sutural rib. Whorls 8, separated by 

 impressed sutures, subconcave above, a little tumid and very obtusely 

 subcarinated below, the base plano-convex. Aperture oblique, sub- 

 rhomboidal, throat pearly and sulcate inside, brilliantly nacreous, 

 the pearl not attaining to the edge of the lip, which is sharp and 

 finely crenulated ; columellar margin thick, subvertical, with a small 

 tubercle. Alt. 12, diam. 8 mill. (Fischer.)

I follow Fischer in rejecting the name comptus on account of its 

 essential identity with comtus of Philippi. 



C. LEGRANDI Tenison-Woods. PI. 66, fig. 23. 



Shell straightly conical, imperforate, solid, rather thick, yellowish- 

 flesh-color ; sculptured spirally with numerous smooth riblets, alter- 

 nately larger and smaller, 8 or 9 on the penultimate whorl, about 

 14 on the base, some of the interstitial ones near the axis quite small, 

 the outer ones subequal in size. Spire conic, its outlines straight ; 

 sutures scarcely visible except for a slightly wider cingulus above 

 them. Whorls about 6, flat, the last angular, nearly flat beneath, 

 shortly deflexed at aperture in the only specimen before me. Aper- 

 ture rhomboidal, oblique, with a couple of prominent riblets inside 

 the upper lip, basal lip thickened, columella straight or a trifle 

 projecting in the middle. 



Alt. 13, diam. 13 mill.; aperture (meas. inside) alt. 6, diam. 6 

 mill.
