26 CYFUMA. 



form/is in the series as to general appearance, although it is 

 very far from either in most of its specific characters. A 

 specimen from New Caledonia, with a chestnut-coloured base, 

 believed to represent Bregeriana, Crosse, is figured in the 

 last plate, but I cannot recognize in it anything more than 

 a variety of our present species. 



79. pulchella, Swains., (f. 148-150). — C. testa eleganter 

 pyriformi, antice producta et attenuate ; termino postico 

 producto, umbilicato; dorso superne ventricoso, maculis semi- 

 lunaribus trifasciato, nonnunquam maculis permagnis sub- 

 centralibus picto, omnino minutissime punctato; lateribus 

 albis, rubro-fusco guttatis ; basi rotunda ; columella brevi, 

 dentibus rubro-fuscis per basim continuis ornata ; labio 

 utrinque acuminato, postice retrorsum arcuato, columellam 

 superante; dentibus fuscis, dimidiatim continuatis. 



80. pyriformis, Gh-ay, (f. 145, 146, 147).— C. testa, C.pul- 

 chellce affini, antice haud tan turn attenuata ; dentibus labii 

 brevibus, rotundis, albis, columellas medianis rnbris lineari- 

 bus brevibus. 



Note. — Pulchella, pyriformis. The anterior extremity is 

 not so attenuated in pnjriformis as in pulchella, and the teeth 

 on the outer lip are rounded and white as in ordinary cow- 

 ries ; on the middle of the columella, however, the teeth are 

 linear and lengthened, as in pulchella, but in very much less 

 degree.

 centibus aspersa; extremitatibus acuminatis, productis,

 depressa ; basi convexa, extremitatibus angustis varicosis ; 

 apertura angustata ; dentibus prominentibus, columella? circa 

 21 posticis brevibus anticis elongatis, labii circa 24 elon- 

 gatis elevatis crebris, interstitiis valde profundis ; labio 

 postice valde elevato, columellam superante. 



Note. — This beautiful shell, unique in the collection of Miss 

 Saul, was brought by Sir D. Barclay from the island of 

 Diego Garcia, of the Mauritius. It is placed in this part of 

 the series on account of its general form ; but its characters 

 are well marked and very peculiar. 



82. Aubreyana, Jousseaume, (f. 529, 530). — " C. testa 

 piriformis, solida, polita, in media ventricosa ; antice et pos- 

 tice attenuata, supra luteo-alba, maculis fulvis variegata,
