GARRETT: CATALOGUE OF CYPR^IDiE. I17 



In accordance with the late revision of the genus, they 

 belong to different genera or sections of CypTcea, C. cameo/a 

 being a typical form, while the shell under consideration, 

 from its ovate ventricose shape, is a true Li/ponia. 



The coloration in every respect resembles C. carneola ; 

 but they differ much in size, the latter species attaining more 

 than twice the length of our species. They also differ in the 

 number of teeth; C. carneola having from 38 to 45 in the 

 outer lip, and we count from 25 to 30 in C. propinqua. 



It has the form of C. arenosa, and the dorsal color and 

 fasciation is quite similar in the two species. The sides, 

 base and teeth are colored the same as C. carneola. It is 

 laterally more thickened, and is a more solid shell than the 

 latter. The following measurements are taken from the 

 largest specimen in my possession : — 



Length 36, diam. 24, height 19 mill. 



Found on the outer reefs at the Paumotu and Society 

 Islands. 



40. C. (Luponia) punctata, L. This small but pretty species 

 is not very abundant. We obtained a few examples at all 

 the groups south of the equator. They were found under 

 dead coral on the outer reefs. 



The animal is light orange-red, the mantle deeper 

 colored and profusely sprinkled with white dots; also furnished 

 with pale, dendritic processes. The upper surface of the foot 

 exhibits a few yellowish mottlings. Siphon with a terminal 

 fringe. 



41. C. quadrimaculata, Gray. Three specimens found on the , 

 fringing reefs at the Viti Islands. ^X^-^ i?Q«/Aa^ , /tj?tiy, ^d^, 



42. C. (Aricia) reticulata, Martyn. Common, beneath masses 

 of dead coral on the outer reefs, and is distributed all 

 through Eastern Polynesia. It also occurs at the Kingsmill 

 Islands.
