The authors quotetl abdve, give as habitat of this species "West-Indies"; the Siho^a- 

 specimcn, though sHghtly worn, belongs no doubt to it, I j)osscss and have sccmi many s])ecimens 

 from the south coast of Java, from Amboina and Borneo. Kiknkr twice makes use of the name 

 roseus in the i)lates of his monograph, on I'l. 9 and PL 107, fig. 4, but in the text this latter is 

 named C. rosaccits Kiener; it lias been named C. Kicneri by Rkevk and has nothing to do 

 with the species under consideration, which is alHcd to C. uius.

The specimen from Stat. 277 has some tendency to belong to var. venniailaris by the 

 confluence of some of the black spots, but it is nearer to the type; the fresh shells are covered 

 with a thin, yellowish, slightly fibrous epidermis.
