Hab. Islands of Corrigidor and Luzon, Philippines (dredged from 
coarse sand at the depth of seven fathoms) ; Cuming. 
A very pretty, round, solid species, looking more like a Cardiwm 
externally than a Cardita.

Hab. 4 
No figure nor description can do justice to this beautiful shell, so 
remarkable on account of the delicacy of the pink serrated lamine. 
Cypricarpia pecussata. Cypr. testd elongato-ovatd, regulariter 
convead, tenui, albd, semipellucidd, striis exilibus, undulatis, ele-

Hab. 2 
This is evidently one of the terebrating species, belonging to that 
section of the genus which De Blainville distinguishes by the new 
generic title of Coralliophaga. 
The term decussated is here used in its strictest and proper sense, 
signifying oblique crossing, as in the letter X. 
CypricarpIA VELLICATA. Cypr. testd oblongo-ovatd, compressd, 
prope marginem ventralem anticam peculiariter vellicatd; albd, 
latere postico purpureo-fusco plus minusve vividé radiato ; umbo- 
nibus purpureo-fuscis.

Hab. Calbyog, island of Samar, Philippines (found on soft slaty 
stones at low water); Cuming. 
This interesting species, which has been found in great abundance 
by Mr. Cuming at the above locality, is distinguished not only by 
the purple-brown streaks which are more or less strongly depicted 
on the posterior side of the shell, but by the peculiar manner in 
which it is pinched, as it were, near the anterior ventral margin. 
CypricarpIA INCARNATA. Cypr. testd oblongo-ovatd, tenui, plano- 
convexd, liris planis subtilissimis numerosis ab umbonibus undu- 
latim divergentibus, eximié notald ; albidd, postice incarnald,
