Probably a synonym of C. xtn'ttfnm, or at most a mere variety. 



C. TUiiiirrri.rM Philippi. PL 18, fig. 9. 



Shell turreted, imperforate, transversely cingulate, dark rosy, 

 flammulate with scarlet ; whorls plane, divided by profound sutures, 

 the last angulate; transverse cinguli 5, equaling the obliquely 

 striate interstices ; a])erture rhombic ; columella straight, cylindrical 

 entire. (Phil.} 



This species is very distinct in its size and steeple-like form. The 

 shell is pretty solid, consists of 7-8 flat whorls, separated by a deep 

 suture; they have 5 little-elevated transverse cinguli, which, upon 

 the last whorl are split into two by an impressed line. The inter- 

 stices, wide as the cinguli, are prettily sculptured by the stria 1 of in- 

 crement. On the base I count (> concentric lino. The aperture is 

 rhombic, columella straight, cylindrical, with no tooth below. Color 

 dark rose-red, with bright red flames.

C. UNIDKXTATUM Philippi. PL 17, figs. 13, 14 (enlarged). 



Shell small, elongate-conical, imperforate, rather solid; ground- 

 color white, with a more or less pink tinge on the upper part of each 

 whorl, especially on the upper part of the spire, or sometimes yellow 

 or gray in place of pink ; entire surface longitudinally marked with 

 distinct narrow black lines. Surface lusterless, densely spirally 

 lirate and striate, the principal ridges subgranose, interstices densely 

 obliquely crispate-striate ; periphery generally scalloped or sub- 

 nodose, angular; base Hat, finely or obsoletely lirulate ; whorls 

 about 10, the apical ones rosy, the rest concave below the sutures;
