striae, which are not mentioned in any of the quoted descriptions of C. conspersa, and of which 

 I find no trace in the numerous specimens recorded above. Moreover the aperture, though 

 apparently well developed, is quite destitute of teeth or folds. I cannot account for the considerable 

 difference of depth, at which the specimens have been dredged, as one specimen of each locality 

 is in fresh condition, though not containing the soft parts.

The specimens are very characteristic. This species has originally been recorded from 

 the Philippines, but afterwards from more remote localities, v. Martens (Moll. Mauritius p. 248, 

 PI. 20, fig. 11) records it from Mauritius, Hirase (Cat. of Mar. Shells of Japan p. 10) from 

 Japan (Yakushima), from which locality I saw specimens which are smaller and banded only 

 below the suture.

The specimen from Stat. 47 ^ is a dead, bleached shell, that from Stat. 43, though 

 apparently in fresh state, has scarcely traces of brown bands. I see only a few streaks.
