This variety lias bi as a separate species, as a variety and even merely as a 



synonym, I have applied the name to specimens, which are conspicuously beaked, but they are 



connected to the type by the former var.; only mie specimen from Stat. 37 is of nearly typical 



being . MUI. in length, the other specimens may belong to Gray's var. |3 minor, though 



liis type of that variety, seems to be more elongate ("'/. of an inch long, and ' , of an inch

In the original description SoWERBY says : "sulco dorsali nullo ant inconspicuo"; TRYON 

 has located tin- species in his section without dorsal impression. In consequence I cannot agree 

 with tin- view that Cypraea pilitla Kiener should be a synonym; KlENER says that the dorsal 

 impression is rather deep in his species. WEINKAUFF (Conch. Cab. lul. 11, Cypraea, p. 1501 says 

 also, dealing with C. pilula: "linea dorsali impressa" and adds in a footnöte that the lithographer 



forgotten it in the figure. The Siboga-specimen has a very shallow impression, much less 



picuous than the specimen of the former species.
