The specimens are bleached, but they agree in shape, in the narrow aperture and number 

 of teeth, with a fresh specimen from Mauritius; the rosy tips are still recognizable.

Though Weinkauff (Martini-Chemn. Conch. Cab. Ed. II, Vol. V, p. 42, 43) considers 

 this shell, named by him urcelhis^ to be only a form of C. felina Gmel., and suggests that 

 the shell described by Gmelin, should be another species {Oweni Gray), I follow the opinion 

 of Dautzenberg (1. c).

E. VON Martens (Rumphius Gedenkboek, Mollusca, p. 15) quotes fig. O of Rumph for C. 

 caurica and fig. P for variolaria (cruenta).^ but a look at the plate makes it clear, that fig. P belono-s 

 to caurica. Rumph says that his "Variolae" are of two kinds, he describes first the largest one with 

 black spots at the sides (caurica^ fig. P; than the smaller one with purple spots {variolaria Lam.) 

 but in the explication of the plate, at the end of the chapter, the words " 1 3'!^ species, O, red 

 measles, of which a second species is represented at fig. P", is in accordance with my views.
