The specimen from Stat, i is young but characteristic, those from Stat. 2 and 1 1 6 are 

 less inflated than the type and have only obsolete brown, square spots (perhaps bleached as 

 they are only empty shells).

I cannot agree with Tryon's opinion, that this and the preceding species are only varieties 

 of C. sabziron Adans., the species now under consideration, may be easily distinguished by its 

 last whorl, which is smooth, with exception of the grooves at the upper and basal parts, instead 

 of being spirally striate as in C. pila and saburon^ which may on their turn be distinguished 

 from each other, by the lower part of the columella, which is closely plicated in C. pila^ as 

 KusTER (1. c.) has observed, moreover by closer striae on the bodywhorl of that species.
