Shell oblong ovate, rather ventricose, fulvous, with three ob- 

 scure rather darker bands, scattered with large and small white 

 spots; sides rather thickened rounded, brownish, rather streaked, 

 and mottled with paler, giving it a sandy appearance ; base whitish, 

 or very pale brown, rounded ; aperture rather broad, brownish 

 white; teeth white, rather blunt; columella plaited, front rather 

 concave; spire small, hid ; inside purplish ; axis 2, diameter -1§ of 

 an inch. 



It varies considerably in the darkness, but not in the distribu- 

 tion of the colour, and in size. The ligure of Lister of the incom- 

 plete shell has been referred to for C. guttata, a very different and 

 remarkably rare shell. The subfuscula of Martyn, from what 

 Dillwyn observes, appears only to be a fine coloured specimen of 

 this species, and I have not seen the figure.
