502 LIST OF SPECIES OF PORCELLANA OR OYPR^A, 



Mr. Samuel Stutclibiiry found a young living example beautifully 

 coloured, at Bribie Island in 1854. This is Mr. Coxen's note. 



24. Cypr^a vitellus, Linn. 

 Eeeve, pi. 5, fig. 14. 



Gyprcea dama, Humph., O. fulva^ Gmel. 

 Stradbroke Island ; rather common. 



25. Cypr^a Walkeri, Gray. 

 Sowerby, Thes. Conch., pi. 18, fig. 123-125. 



Peel Island ; two only have been found. 



This rare species I obtained during the Chevert Expedition to 

 New Guinea in 1875, first at Palm Island, eleven fathoms sandy 

 mud bottom; Cape Grenville, North-east coast of Australia, 

 eight fathoms, white sand ; Darnley Island, Torres Straits, twenty 

 to thirty fathoms, white sand. 



Mr. W. A. Haswell, M.A., B.Sc, dredged two examples off 

 Port Denison, October 1879. 



26. Cypr^a xanthodon. Gray. 

 Sowerby, Thes. Conch., pi. 23, fig. 196, 197-513. 

 Dunwich, Stradbroke Island, on the coral banks ; rare. 



27. Cypr^a zigzag, Linn. 

 Eeeve, pi. 18, fig. 97. 

 Peul Island ; only one found. 



It is interesting to know that Mr. Coxen obtained this fine and 

 well known species in Moreton Bay, I believe it is the first 

 recorded Australian habitat. 



I am of opinion that Forcellana of Eumphius, Amboyna Earit. 

 p. 113, 1705, should have priority over CtjprcBa oiJAxm.y Syst. 

 Nat., p. 1172, 1766. The following list will show the superiority 

 of Eumphius' claim :
