C. PUNCTATA, Linn., var. decolorata. Gray (1824). 



C. 380. — This variety must be placed among the synonyms of 

 'punctata, s. str., for it also has short whitish teeth, as they were in 

 Linnaeus' type (1771, Mantissa plant., ii, p. 548 ; 1767, as quoted by 

 Hidalgo, is incorrect ! ). Gray's 'punctata, s. str., having the teeth 

 reddish and extended somewhat over the base, is a nameless variety, 

 though it is considered by many authors as the typical shell. 



C. PUNCTATA, Linn., var. maculata, Gray (1824). 

 C. 380. — Such a variety has never appeared again ; perhaps it 

 was like Sowerby's fig. 281 in his " Thes. Conch., C'yprcea " (1870), 

 or maybe it belonged to quite another species (a decorticated C. 

 fuscomaculata, Pease ?). It is a doubtful shell, and the name could 

 never be applied to a species, being preoccupied by Perry (1811). 



C. CRiBRARiA, Linn., var. Gray (1828). 

 G. 79. — On account of the comma in the description (see above), 

 I take it for nameless ; Gray's shell might have been a C. 

 esontropia, Duel. 



C. FELiNA, Gmel., var. gibbosa, Gray (1824). 

 C. 384. — It may be considered as a variety of C. felina, subsp. 

 fahula, Kien. (1845), which is described by its author as " peu convexe 

 en dessus ", while Roberts' (1885) fahula is identical with Gray's 

 variety. The name gibbosa cannot designate the subspecies, being 

 preoccupied by Borson (1820) . 



C. FELINA, Gmel., var. listeri, Gray (1824). 



C. 384. — This variety is identical with ursellus, Kien. (1845) nee 

 Gmel. (1790), and therefore also with melvilli, Hid. (1906) ; the 

 name given by Gray must be used for this shell, but reduced to the 

 rank of a subspecies of C. felina. 



C. listeri, Gray (1825, D. 507), which belongs in the group of G. 

 erosa, must be changed to C. marginalis, Dillw. (1827). 



C. ERRONES, Linn., var. ovata. Gray (1824). 

 C. 385. — Becomes a synonym of errones, subsp. ovum, Gmel. 

 (1790), which is more pyriform, more gibbous, thickened on the 

 margins, the callosity of which extends high up on the dorsum, and 

 has orange interstices between the teeth, but never spots on the back 

 or on the anterior extremity. It was described by Brazier (1877) as 

 C. sophicB. 



C. ERRONES, Linn., var. bimaculata. Gray (1824). 



C. 385. — This*name must be used for typically shaped shells of 



C. errones, s. str., which have the base and the margins yellow, but 



the aperture whitish ; there are two blackish spots on the anterior 



extremity. It is figured by Sowerby (1837, Conch. Illustr., fig. 132),
