ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



March 10, 1846.— -Wm. Yarrell, Esq., Vice-President, in the Chair. 



A paper was read entitled " Descriptions of two new species of 

 Cypr&a" by Lovell Reeve : — 



Cypilea Gaskoinii. Cypr. testa subabbreviato-ovatd, solidiusculd, 

 lateribus incrassatis, marginatis, dentibus fortius cutis ; dorso 

 fulvo-stramineo, ocellis albidis,fusco-annulatis,parviusculis, spar- 

 sim ornato, lateribus castaneo-punctatis, basi albd. 



Hob. ? 



This interesting species, of which I have seen two specimens, one 

 in the British Museum and one in the collection of J. S. Gaskoin, 

 Esq., partakes of the characters of the Cypraa Cumingii and esotro- 

 pia ; the back being covered with the same kind of small clear ringed 

 eyes as the C. Cumingii. I dedicate it with a great deal of pleasure 

 to the gentleman above named, to whom I am much indebted for the 

 zeal with which he has worked out the small and less attractive 

 species of the genus. 



CyprjEA pulicaria. Cypr. testd subcylindraceo-oblongd, antice 

 subdeclivi, latere dextro marginato, leviter contracto, aperturd 

 angustd, dentibus minutis ; pellucido-albd, vel luted , lateribus dor- 

 soque punctis rubido-fuscis subconspicuis aspersis. 



Hab. ? 



Allied to C. piperata, but perfectly distinct, though it has been 

 hitherto mingled with that species in collections ; it is of a smaller 

 and more cylindrically oblong form, and is not banded, whilst the 

 dots are more conspicuous. 



The following paper was also read : — 



" Descriptions of three new species of Cypraa," by J. S. Gaskoin, 

 Esq. 



CYPRiEA pellucidula. Cyp. testa ovatd, nitidd, albicante subhya- 



lind ; costellis continuis ad utrumque latus apcrturee terminatis ; 



dentibus cequalibus, minimis, numerosisque ; sulco columellari pro- 



fundo, lato ; lined dorsali nulla; extrcmitatibus valde productis et 



obtusis ; aperturd rectd, postice subsinuatd.
