mens from Ihe Pacific wliich would match this somewhat 

 peculiar local form. 



C. Carolinœ, Smith, 1 should prefer to restrict this 

 name to that member of the group occuring in the 

 Caroline Is. 



C. renutata, Sby. It would seem better to restrict this 

 name, provisioually atleast, to the Hoog Kong form, witii 

 which the very similar one from Lifu may prove to hâve 

 but little in common. 



C. miheculata, Rve. (?) Without access to the actual 

 spécimens, itis impossible to fix the identity of the form 

 recorded by Hervier under this name. The unlocalised 

 type-speciinen of C. nubecidata is not recognisable with 

 certainty, but it is différent to any Lifu species known 

 to me. 



C. psilla Duel. (i. e., Hervier, sp.) Hervier's species in 

 my opinion is not the same as that fîgured by Duclos.and 

 it appears to be a variety of C. Loyaltyensis, Herv. 



C. proceUarum, Herv. Apparently but a variety of C. 

 Loyaltyensis. 



Group of C. conspersa. 



C. conspersa, Gask. The limits of this very variable species 

 are but little understood, it being with imperfect material 

 very difTicult to distinguish between it and C. puella, Sby., 

 C. contaminât a, Gask. and severaJ other doublful species. 



C. rosacea, Rve. (?) Reeve's unlocalised type-specimen 

 cannot bedetermined with certainty ; but, it bas nothiug 

 to do with the C. conspersa group, and is probably a dwarf 

 form of C. semiconvexa, La m. 



C. hirundo, Gask. (?) I hâve never seen this species from 

 the central Pacific, and doubt its occurrence in New- 

 Caledonia. 



C. baculus, Rve(i. e., Hervier, sp.) The form recorded 

 by Hervier under this name belongs lo the C. conspersa,
