 C. Henekeni appears to be the forerunner of C. mus now 

 living in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranien Sea. Typical 

 specimens are especially like the variety bicornis Sowerby in form. 

 The color marking of Henekeni, however, is different. It con- 

 sists of large light spots in a dark network, forming an open ret- 

 iculated design. 



A variety of C. Henekeni occurs at Gatun.
