227, might probably be this shell, and Chemnitz, (vol. x. p. 

 37-) considers it to be the Cone which he has figured at t. 

 140. f. 1296, and which he has therefore called Conus 

 clandestinus. 



succincta. 34. Shell with the interior lip rounded 

 at each extremity.

It cannot be doubted that the Linnaean description was taken 

 from an immature shell, and Bruguiere in the Journal d'His- 

 toire Naturelle, p. 511, supposes it to be the young of Cy- 

 praa Mus. The shell figured by Chemnitz has not any of 

 the usual appearances of a full grown Cypraea, and is more 

 like a Bulla ; nor has it the two linear white lines which 

 Linnaeus particularly mentions. 



zic-zac. 35. Shell ovate, brown, with paler bands, 

 and undulated lines ; base spotted with 

 brown.

 Shell commonly about an inch long, and rather more than half 

 as broad, flesh-colour, or white variously marked with pale 

 or chocolate brown undulated longitudinal bands, and nar- 

 row transverse zic-zac lines ; the base is white, yellowish, or 

 light brpwn, with darker spots. Linnaeus has described two 

 brown spots at the extremities, but their appearance is far 

 from constant. The shell represented by the two latter of 

 Martini's figures, was considered to be a distinct species by 

 Dr. Solander, and is his C. undata ; Lamarck on the other 

 hand has quoted the two latter for C. zic-zac, and the two 

 former for C. undata. 



zonata. 36. Shell ovate, bluish, with four trans- 

 verse zones marked with brown moon-shaped 

 spots.
