Sandwich Islands; but at these islands it is a common custom to collect shells from the whale ships. The habitat assigned to the species by Deshayes (copied by Dr. Jay) is probably due to hearsay testmony. Probably the C. exanthema found by Mr. Hinds at the island of Muerte belongs to this species.
