I have not quoted Reeve's fig. 207 of the Conch. Iconica, as his figure does not 

 represent a typical specimen, but probably, judging after its less conical shape and conspicuous 

 granules, it comes near to Weinkauff's C. vialtzaniamis^ though it is not improbable that Tryon 

 is right, in considering this latter to be merely a variety ; one of the Siboga-specimens resembles 

 it by its more reddish colour and more developed granules, but not in shape, being still quite 

 conical. The epidermis is rather thin and fibrous.
