In Mr. Stutchbury's collection there are two interesting varieties of this 

 shell. One has the thickened pale fulvous margin extended half way up 

 the back of the shell, so as only to leave a narrow speckled band; and in 

 the second the black spot, which appears to be a coat laid on before the 

 thickening of the margin, is extended, and forms a dark edge to each side 

 of the shell just above the margin. 



50. Cypraa icterina, to be erased, being the young of C moneta.
