RANDOM NOTES ON NATURAL HISTORY. 



At my request Mr. J. Ritchie, Jr., has placed in my hands for Sale, 



a selection from his 



Duplica te Cypraeas, 



NUMBERING ABOUT 75 SPECIES AND 200 SPECIMENS. 



This Collection includes all of the more common species, and many of the rarer ones, notably 



C. aurantium, umbilicata, thersites, capensis, punctata, scottii, 

 nigropunctata, sulcidentata, augustata, etc. 



The Shells are all numbered to correspond with their labels, and the naming has been carefully 

 done by Mr. Ritchie himself, according to the best authorities.
