9. Cyprez FLAVEOLA, varietas labro-lineata. Cypree flaveole 
varietas, lineis brunneis e dentibus labii externi supra basin con- 
tinuis. 
Shell same form and size as Cyp. flaveola: differs from it in being 
‘much paler in colour, and the white dottings are therefore less con- 
spicuous; in the teeth being smaller and more numerous, and in 
there being elevated lines of a brown colour on the lip, continued from 
each tooth, and at the anterior end projecting beyond the margin; in 
the anterior teeth of the columellar side being bifurcated, and in the 
dark brown dottings of the margins being more numerous, and ex- 
tending a little on to the base.

10. Cyrra# quaprimacuLtaTz, Gray—varietas pallidula (Palish 
Cowry). Cyp. sine maculis nigris ; dentibus lateris columellari 
majoribus, prominentioribus et paucioribus ; labii minoribus et nu- 
merosioribus ; basi nitente. 
This shell possesses characters, especially in colouring and general 
form, much in common with the former shell, but is destitute of the 
large black spots on the outsides of the extremities and on the spire ; 
there is in some individuals a thin dark line across the outer surface 
of the anterior channel; the teeth on the columellar side are larger, 
more prominent, more even, and fewer in number; while those on 
the lip are smaller and more numerous; it never attains the size of 
quadrimaculata, the teeth and base of which are always dull, while 
those of the variety are always polished (shining). 
11. Cypra#a putta.—The small “ Trivia” I described under that 
appellation (Proc. Zool. Soc., March 10, 1846), I am enabled now to 
state the habitat of ;—the Galapagos Islands, and the Bay of Guaya- 
quil; Cuming. When I named this shell “ pud/a,” I was not aware 
it was a synonym of Cyprea adusta of Chemnitz and Lamarck, by 
Gmelin,—Cyp. onyx of Gray; but as Chemnitz’s name “ adusta” 
was the prior, and therefore the proper one, I do not consider it 
necessary to alter mine. 
12. Cyprza puticarra.—Reeve, in his description of this shell 
(Proc. Zool. Soc., March 10, 1846), remarks, that it differs from Cyp. 
piperita of Gray in not being banded; but most of the specimens that 
I have seen have four distinct, narrow, interrupted, light brown 
bands, nearly equidistant. Nine individuals, of thirteen in my col- 
lection, have these four very conspicuous bands; that described by 
Reeve was one of the remaining four shells whose bands are covered. 
I will take the liberty to add to the distinctions from Cyp. piperita,
