Hah. ? 



The globose pea-like form of tliis species, the smallest 



of the genus, is truly chai-acteristic.

H(d). South Pacific. 



A new snowy white species appro>dmating in form to 

 the C. tremeza ; it differs, however, m being rather more 

 o-ibbous, and in having a greater number and finer ribs, 

 without any dorsal impression 



Species 154. (Mus. Gaskoin.) 



Cypr^a pisum. Cypr. testa globosd, ventricosd, latere 

 dextro subincrassato ; tramversim nndiqite costatd, costis 

 nutnerosis, angustis, prominentibus, sulco dorsali sub- 

 conspicuo ; cariieo-f/iscescente. 



The pea Cowrey. Shell globose, ventricose, right side 

 rather thickened, transversely ribbed throughout, 

 ribs numerous, naiTow, prominent, with a rather 

 conspicuous dorsal groove ; pale fleshy brown. 



Gaskoin, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846. 



Hub. East Indies. 



A very distinct and characteristic species, approaching 



nearest in general aspect to the C. formosa, for which I 



have been indebted to Mr. Gaskoin since the accompanying 



plate was engraved. The shell represented at Fig. 154 is 



the C. candidida.
