CYMBIUM. 
Puate II. 
Species 1. (Fig. 6, c, Mus. Cuming.) 
This is a state of the Cymbium Aithiopicum, not observed 
of any other species of the genus, in which the enamelled 
lining of the aperture is stained with a deep blood-red 
colouring. The shell is stoutly developed, of quite mature 
growth, and the colouring matter is not diffused evenly, 
but appears to drain, as it were, across the shell in sepa- 
rate flows. 
There is a specimen in the British Museum, exactly like 
the one here figured from Mr. Cuming’s collection. Both 
are of a reddish-chestnut colour externally, and show very 
little indication on the body-whorl of the bands which are 
peculiar to the species in an earlier stage of growth. 
December, 1860.
