184 SPECIES OF THE SYSTEMA. 
have meant to cite the third copperplate (for, being small, 
several of these are printed on the same page), but the third 
page of engravings, where, among other shells, talpa is also 
represented. 
Cvprxa aniethystina, 
An example of the Cyprea reticulata (Knorr, Dél. Yeux, pt. 
8, pl. 2, f. 2) the C. histrio of authors, having the outer coating 
of the dorsal surface artificially removed, is marked for this 
species in the Linnean cabinet. The synonymy is inaccurate ; 
the cited engraving of Petiver (plate 32, f. 10) represents a 
botanical specimen. 
Cvyprxa lurvtda, 
“ Pet. Gaz. t. 52, f. 10” and “ Mart. Syst. t. 25, f. 247, 249” 
are added to the synonymy in the revised copy of the ‘ Sys- 
tema’ prepared by Linneus. These fresh references are per- 
fectly harmonious with the published ones, with the descrip- 
tion, and with the assigned locality: Gualtier, however, has 
only depictured the characteristic spots at one end of his shell, 
which was clearly drawn from an immature example. Speci- 
mens of the Cyprea lurida of authors (Reeve, Conch. Icon. 
Cyp. f. 32, a) are still preserved in the Linnean cabinet, and 
alone agree with the combined pictorial and descriptive defi- 
nition. 
Cvpraa Vanellt. 
A young Cyprea lynx (Last. Hist. Conch. pl. 684) is marked 
for this species in the Linnean cabinet, and thus confirms the 
conclusion arrived at by Deshayes, &c. from the study of the 
‘Museum Ulrice.’ The references made by the younger Linné 
to figures 230, 231 of Martini’s first volume, and to Knorr 
“4, t. 9, f. 6,” support the received opinion. The published
