The original description has been much altered by Linnæus. It ran as
follows: "Testa ovata, glauco-cinerea, gibba, striæ transversales
plus 30 punctis fuscis oblongis. Spira convexa, alba, maculis fuscis
magnis transversis." The cited figure does not even suit these meagre
characteristics, which might have been equally applied to _C. glaucus_.
