mellam levatam columellarem efformante ; canali brevi, 

 reflexo. 



Shell oblong, smooth, orange coloured with white spots 

 and dots ; spire produced, sub-mucronated ; volutions 7 — 8, 

 sub-cylindrical, posteriorly spotted with white near the suture ; 

 last volution transversely grooved in front, sprinkled with white 

 dots in the middle suture distinct ; aperture longitudinal, 

 rather short, flexuous, rose coloured or purplish within ; 

 outer Hp thickly varicose, with little transverse ridges toward 

 the middle externally, its margin flexuous, rather thin and 

 sharp, denticulated within ; edge of the columellar lip slightly 

 raised ; canal short, reflected. 



A common and variable species, particularly in its colouring. 

 Its epidermis is rather rough. We have figured several 

 varietes. By mistake this has been called C. semipunctata 

 in my work on the Genera of Shells.
