C. LEPORiNA, Lam., var. sublonga, Gray (1828). 

 G. 73. — A little larger, but otherwise identical witli Gray's 

 typical shell, which was described on B. 149 as C. gibhosa, nov. sp. ; 

 suhlonga may be considered as a synonym of leporina. 



C. LEPORINA, Lam., var. subcylindrica. Gray (1828). 

 G. 73. — This shell was, I presume, an almost cylindrical specimen 

 of leporina var. suhlyncoides, Brongniart (1823), which was unknown 

 to Gray ; lyncoides often has the extremities somewhat produced. 



C. LEPORINA, Lam., var. minor, Gray (1828). 

 G. 73. — Gray's shell belonged without doubt to C. leporina, 

 s. lat., for he particularly described the concavity of the columella 

 (Gray forgot to give the size of the shell !) ; C. annularia, Brongn. 

 (1823), which is cited as a synonym of it, though Gray did not know 

 its description, is not identical, but belongs to quite another group 

 (= C.fahagina, Lam., var.). C. minor, Gray, and annularia, Gray 

 (nee. Brongn.), may be considered as synonyms of leporina. 



C. diluviana, Gray, var. minor. Gray (1824). 



B. 149. — This is a synonym, of C . fabagina, Lam., while diluviana, 

 s. str., may be considered not as a synonym of it (as most authors 

 have believed), but as a variety of abnormal size (45 mm. !) ; it 

 surely belongs to fabagina and not to its subsp. arnygdalum, Broc. 



C. TIGRIS, Linn., var. flammea, Gmel. (1790). 



C. 367. — Must be considered as a synonym, not as a variety, 

 on account of its being an incomplete shell ; it was considered as 

 such by Schrdter (1783, Einleitung, p. 148, No. 52). 



C. TIGRIS, Linn., var. nigrescens. Gray (1824). 

 C. 367. — This rather rare variety was called russonitens by 

 Melvill (1888, Mem. Proc. Manchester L. Ph. Soc, (4) i, p. 212), 

 and also perhaps cBthiops, though a nomen nudum by Orbigny 

 (1847, Diet, d'hist. nat., x, p. 433). This name was used already 

 by Menke (1830, Synops. Mus. Menkean., p. 81), but not as varietal 

 name. Both become synonyms of var. nigrescens, Gray. 



C. PANTHERiNA, Sol., var. ^, Gray (1824). 

 C. 368. — This variety is the same as C. vinosa, Gmel., var. obtusa, 

 Perry (1811), and theriaca, Melv. (1888). C. obtusa is not mentioned 

 in Gray's monograph. There is a fossil variety of C. vinosa named 

 fossilis by Sacco (1894). 



C. onyx, Linn., var. fulva. Gray (1828). 



G. 76. — Although described as pellucid, this variety may be 



considered as identical with onyx var. carnicolor, Morch (1852, 



Cat. Conch. Yoldi, p. 116) ; the citing of Reeve's figure (1845, Conch. 



icon., Cyprcea, fig. 396) suffices to establish it. In Jay's Cat. of Shells,
