Garrett noticed this in Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Gilberts, Carolines, 
Society and Paumotus. Brazier* has remarked it from Torres 
Straits southwards to Botany Bay, from Fiji, New Britain, New 
Ireland, New Caledonia and the Solomons. It is further repre- 
sented in this Museum from Woodlark Island (British New 
Guinea), Erromanga and Aneiteum (New Hebrides), and Niue.

Cook’s, Society, Paumotus, Marquesas, and Hawaii. This species 
ranges along the Australian coast from Torres Straits south to 
Sydney.+ Ihave seen it at Milne Bay and Port Moresby, British 
NewGuinea. In this Museum are examplesfrom Niue, Teste Island, 
Louisiades, the Solomons, Erromanga, New Hebrides, New Cale- 
donia, and Lord Howe Island. ‘At Eramanga,” writes Brenchley, t 
“a shell called ‘Vunpuri,’ the Cyprea moneta, passes as money, 
as also in New Caledonia.” 
CyPRHA MONETA, var. ANNULUS, Linne. 
Occurred as usual in company with the species in chief, with
