76 Mr. Gray's ^dditio7is to a 



Shell oval, rather ventricose, dull brown, with three very indistinct 

 brighter bands, scattered with slightly elevated white spots; base and 

 margin white, the base rather convex, the margin rounded, thickened 

 and distinct at each extremity; mouth rather wide, innner lip brownish 

 purple; teeth moderate, white; those of the inner lip the smallest; 

 the columella front rather high and slightly concave.

Shell ovate ventricose, swollen out in the middle, and slightly attenuated 

 at the ends, especially in front; mouth curved, outer Hp margined, teeth 

 short, only on the edge of the lip; columella smooth, front deeply 

 concave, smooth; spire hidden. 



This shell has somewhat the shape of Cyprcea Turdus, to which 

 Lamarck compares it, but it is not toothed on the edge. 



There is a variety of this shell, which is longer, pear-shaped, attenu- 

 ated in front; outer lip and front extremity margined; spire hidden; 

 teeth large; front of columella flat. Axis IJ. Mus. Brit. 



This variety may be the C inflata of Brocchi, which Prof. Bronn says 

 is C. utriculata of Lamarck, but it does not agree with the latter, nor with 

 C. rufa, to which it is most nearly allied in the spire.
