[Concluded from p. 371.] 



101. Cyprcea sphcericulata. — Spliaerical Cowry. 



" Testa subglobosa, inflata, transversim striata ; suico dorsali 

 nuUo ; labro exteriore marginato." Lam. 



Cypraea sphaericulata. Lamarck, Ann. Mus. xvi. n. 14. Hist. 

 vii. 408. 



Fossil near Fiorenzola. 



This shell, according to M. Lamarck, resembles C. Oniscus, but 

 it has not the dorsal groove, and the mouth is not dilated. Its 

 length, according to the same authority, is 22 millimeters. It may 

 perhaps be the C. Pediculus of Brocchi. 



102. Cyprcea pisolina. — Pea Cowry. 



" Testa globosa, pisiformi ; dorso laevissimo ; labro exteriore 

 marginato ; rima curva, plicato-dentata." Lam. 



Cypraea pisolina. Lamarck, Ann. Mus. xvi. n. 17. Hist. vii. 408. 



Fossil. Angers. Menard. 



*' Length of the largest specimens 5 lines." Lam. 



In M. Defrance's duplicate collection, I observed a shell under 

 this name, and was satisfied on examination that it was only a 

 decorticated state of another shell that was considered as a variety of 

 C. pediculus, in the same collection. When perfect it is very like 

 my C. scabriuscula, but is smooth between the stri^, and like it 

 has a narrow dorsal groove. 



103. CyprcBa coccinelloides. — Lady-Bird Cowry. 



Testa ovato-sphasroidea, longitudinaliter striata ; striis nume- 

 rosis, acutis, continuis ; apertura parum arcuata. 



Cypraea coccinelloides. Sowerby, Min. Conch, iv. 107. 

 Icon. Id. ib. t. 378. f. I. 

 Fossil. Suffolk Crag. Leathes.
