This variety has been considered as a separate species, as a variety and even merely as a 

 synonym, I have applied the name to specimens, which are conspicuously beaked, but they are 

 connected to the type by the former var. ; only one specimen from Stat. 37 is of nearly typical 

 size, being 10^0 Mill, in length, the other specimens may belong to Gray's var. jS minor, though 

 his type of that variety, seems to be more elongate ("Y^ of an inch long, and Yio of ^'^ '"^h 

 broad", Gray 1. c).

In the original description Sowerby says: "sulco dorsali nullo aut inconspicuo"; Tryon 

 has located the species in his section without dorsal impression. In consequence I cannot agree 

 with the view that Cypraea pihila Kiener should be a synonym-, Kiener says that the dorsal 

 impression is rather deep in his species. Weinkauff (Conch. Cab. Ed. II, Cypraea, p. 159) says 

 also, dealing with C. pilula: "linea dorsali impressa" and adds in a footnote that the lithographer 

 has forgotten it in the figure. The Siboga-specimen has a very shallow impression, much less 

 conspicuous than the specimen of the former species.
