the largest ; the inner lip, and the part of the body whorl 

 which lays on the body of the animal, is, like the spine, 

 covered with a thin callous deposit. 



Var. Pale, reddish, very minutely red dotted, and with 

 the spots of the bands more irregular, and less distinct,

 f. 2. and that of Mr. Cuming, fig. 1., the latter has lost the 

 callous deposit on the spine and body whorl. 



I have named this species in compliment to my daughter, 

 to whom I am indebted for many drawings of new species 

 of shells. 



Cypr2ea Comptonii. 

 Marine shells, Plate \.f. 3. 



Shell ovate, grey brown, (when young, paler zoned) with 

 three darker bands. 



Spire, small, flattened, hidden, right margin rather 

 thickened, sharp edged above, reddish white minutely 

 black dotted, and stained with black, brown above in front; 

 left margin roundish, scarcely thickened, brown dotted. 



Under side purplish brown, mouth moderate, rather 

 wider in front, teeth small, well defined, the outer hinder 

 ones rather the larger, the columella with an elongated con- 

 cavity in front not plaited. 



Inhab. — Port Essington. My cabinet. 



Mr. Gaskoin, who has described several new species of 

 this genus since the publication of my Monograph, agrees 

 with me in considering this species as distinct, and 

 hitherto undescribed. The two specimens I have seen differ 

 a little in the degrees of their ventricoseness. 



The spots on the left side of the margin are rather the 

 largest, and there are no spots on the lower surface.
