206 MR. G. F. ANGAS ON AUSTRALIAN MOLLtTSCA. [Feb. 14, 



Outer Manly "Beach and Watson's Bay have produced a few spe- 

 cimens of" this delicately zigzag-lined species. It is found in crevices 

 of rocks at very low spring tides. At Moreton Bay it is more abun- 

 dant, being found in company with C. annulus, C. erosa, C. caput- 

 serpentis, and others, in those clusters of oysters called ' ningi-ningi ' 

 by the blacks, which are exposed at low tides on the shores of Strad- 

 broke Island. Length 8 lines. 



121. CyPR.«A CARNEOLA. 



Cypi'cea carneola, Linn. ; Lister, Conch, pi. 664. f. 8. 



This species, abundant further to the north, is sometimes met with 

 at Long Bay, between Botany and Port Jackson Heads. Length 

 1^ inch. 



122. CYPRJi;A XANTHODON. 



Cyprcea xanthodon, Gray; Sow. Conch. Illus. f. 18. 

 A very rare species in Port Jackson, of which I found two living 

 examples at Watson's Bay. Length 14 lines. 



12.3. Cypr^a errones. 



Cyprcea errones, Linn. ; Wood, Index Test. pi. 17. f. 39. 

 Young specimens of this species, so common within the tropics, 

 are found, though rarely, at outer Manly Beach. Length 1 inch. 



124. Cyprcea felina. 



Cyprcea felina, Gmel., Wood, Index Test. pi. 17. f. 26. 

 A single example of this common Indian Cyprcea was found by me 

 at Middle Harbour. Length 9 Hnes. 



125. Cypr^a piperata. 



Cypraa piperata, Gray; Sow. Conch. 111. f. 24. 



Rare in Port Jackson. In South Australia this species is abun- 

 dant. The New South Wales specimens yet obtained are all young, 

 and are spotted in bands somewhat like C. bicolor of Gaskoin, which 

 may be only a variety of this species. 



126. Cypr^a macula. 

 Cyprcea macula, A. Ad. 



Of a greyish colour, freckled with chestnut, with dark spots round 

 the basal margin. It is conspicuously characterized by a large 

 chestnut blotch on the back of the shell. Rare in Port Jackson. 

 Found also in Moreton Bay, and Japan (A. Adams). Length 

 10 lines. A good species, unlike any other, and certainly not a 

 variety of C. fimhriata. 



127. Trivia australis. 



Cyprcea avstralis. Lam. ; Sow. Conch. Illus. f. 29. 

 Trivia australis, Gray.
