1. Cyprma (ARtcra) FicuLina, Stoliccka. Pl. IV, Figs. 11 and 12. 
Cyp. testa pyriformi: anticé attenuata, supra globosa, spira brevi et acuminata, 
infra applanata, levigata, striis incrementi nonnullis spiralibus, partim obsoletis, 
rugosa; labro expanso inflexo, infra applanato, ad marginem interiorem multidentato : 
dentibus pliciformibus ; apertura posteriorem terminationem versus sensim angustiore ; 
labio calloso dentatoque. 
Shell globose above and flattened below, pear-shaped, being highest above the 
centre, exposing a short pointed spire and becoming gradually narrower towards the 
anterior extremity. The surface exhibits strize of growth of unequal strength, and some 
spiral (as regards the axis of the shell transversal) and distant strize are seen near the 
peripherical margin of the outer lip. The latter is below nearly quite flat, and has 
inside a large number of strong elongated teeth; the inner lip is callose and, so 
far as can be observed on a specimen from Kullygoody, provided with similarly 
elongated teeth. The aperture is widest anteriorly, becoming gradually narrower 
towards the upper or posterior portion of the shell. On the larger specimen, figured 
(Fig. 12) on Pl. II., the enamel coating is only very partially preserved and it is 
possible that the spire is much more covered than is seen in our figure, when 
this enamel is perfect. The partial spiral striation is visible only on places where 
the enamel has been removed, and does not in so far appear to be characteristic. 
The largest specimen in our collection from the sand beds west of Kullygoody 
measures 68mm. in columellar height, and 50 mm. in width. 
This species appears to be a good example of Gray’s genus Aricia, but several 
points have to be settled when a perfect specimen has been procured. 
Localities —Alandanapooram and W. of Kullygoody; only three specimens 
are as yet known. 
Formation.—Trichinopoly group. 
2. Cypr@A (LUPONIA) PILULOSA, Stoliczka. Pl. IV, Fig. 5. 
Cyp. testa ovata, antice atque postice sub-rotundata, levigata, dorso valide 
inflato, gibboso, lateraliter subcompresso, anfractibus occultis ; apertura lineari, antice 
paululum expansa atque ad extremitates effusa, prope recta; labro labioque denticulatis, 
primo ad peripherian exteriorem angulatim inflexo. 
Shell ovate, gibbose, laterally somewhat compressed and with roundish extre- 
mities, being slightly produced and notched; surface smooth, polished; the whorls 
perfectly concealed. The aperture is nearly straight, narrow, widening anteriorly, 
where the margins on both sides become thinner and sharper. The outer lip is 
somewhat extended, rapidly and angularly inflexed, finely denticulated on its entire 
length: the dentition on the inner lip being only partially visible in our specimens. 
The lateral compression, combined with the gibbose form and the extension of 
the outer lip, characterizes this species very well. The Cyprea involuta (Marginella
