This species was first described by Pfeiffer from Mergui specimens in 

 Mr. Hugh Curning's collection. It has since been found abundantly by Mr. 

 Theobald near Moulmain. It varies much in colour, some specimens being 

 brown, others rosy pink, others nearly white ; the peristome is either pink 

 or white. Some shells from Moulmain are only 22 millemetres long, others 

 are nearly 26.

The figure now given is copied from that in the ConcJwlogia Inclica, but 

 reduced to the natural size. 



It appears to me evident, either that Gould's figure of G msignis in the 

 Boston Journal is incorrect, or that a different shell has been figured under 

 the same name by Pfeiffer and Hanley. The first is improbable, because the 

 other shells represented on the same plate are excellently figured, and I can 

 only conclude that two forms have been confounded under this name. The 

 C insignis of Pfeiffer and Hanley requires naming, but as I have no speci- 

 mens, and the system of giving names to figures is highly objectionable, I 

 shall not attempt to supply the deficiency. 



The C. insignis, var. gracilior of the ConcJwlogia Indica is probably a 

 variety of the present form. Prom the references given in the Conclwlogia 

 I am inclined to believe that Mr. Hanley has already noticed the differences 

 between Gould's and Pfeiffer's shells described as C. insignis, and that he 

 believes the former to be represented by fig. 2, the latter (his var. gracilior') 

 by fig. 3, of PI. XXIV, of the Goncliologia. It appears to me, however, that 

 Pfeiffer's figure in the Novitates ConcJwlogicce agrees far better with fig. 2, 

 than with fig. 3, and that Gould's original figure in the Boston Journal re- 

 presents a shell quite distinct from both.
