This is a large, globose-conoid species, with finely checkered 

 cuticle. 



Color-var. polillensis (typical ; figs. 43, 44) has a brownish-yellow 

 ground-color, bandless, or with very faint sutural and columellar 

 bands. 



Color-var. portei (figs. 47, 50) is very light greenish-yellow, with 

 a distinct band at suture and umbilicus. 



Color-var. ajax (figs. 45, 46, 48) has a dark reddish-brown ground- 

 color. 



Color-var. hector (fig. 49) has four dark bands. 



Transition forms are not uncommon. The large series before me 

 confirms PfeifFer's judgment in uniting the several races. 



C. ANDROMACHE Pfeiffer. Unfigured. 



Imperforate, subglobose, rather thin, striatulate, chestnut colored, 

 little shining. Spire convex, apex minute. Whorls 4-4-}, moderately

 descending, sometimes encircled by light spiral lirse. Columella 

 white, subvertical, compressed. Aperture oblique, lunate-rotund,

 panded, margins converging, the right margin flexuous.
