This species was first described by Pfeiffer from Mergui specimens in 
Mr. Hugh Cuming’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 milkynetres long, others 
are nearly 26.

The figure now given is copied from that in the Concliologia Indica, but 
reduced to the natural size. 
It appears to me evident, either that Gould’s figure of C. insignis 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 1 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 Concliologia Indica is probably a 
variety of the present form. Prom the references given in the Concliologia 
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 Concliologia. It appears to me, however, that 
Pfeiffer’s figure in the Novitates Concliologicce 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.
