Distingiushed from the preceding species by its smaller 

 and more rounded form, whilst the ribs are stouter and 

 wider apart.

The spots of this well-known species are very undefined; 

 it may, however, be observed, that it is generally most 

 deeply stained in the \'iciaity of the apex.

CYPRiEA labiosa. Cypr. testa rotundato-ovatd, snibde-

I am rather inclined to think, with M. Gaskoin, that this 

 shell is distinct from the C. pediculus ; without reference 

 to its more depressly dilated form and difl'erence of colom-, 

 the ribs are much fewer in number, and developed with 

 greater force and regularity. 



Species 131. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Cyprj:a pediculus. Cypr. testa ovatd, subventricosd,
