Zoological Miscellany. 
The genus of Lamouroux, Expos, t. 81, f. 12, 14, (not Leach) 
appears to differ by the cell being cylindrical. At the same time was 
found Ohelia tuhifera^ an interesting addition to the British Fauna. 
Lanceolate Hippothoa. Hippoihoa lanceolata. Coral attached, slender, 
dichotomously and divaricately branched, pearly white, cells slender, 
linear, ovate, base filiform, generally emiting a cell at right angles from 
the middle of each side ; mouth small, round, with a raised margin, 
placed near the top of the cell. On Pinna ingens. 
This species is very like Hippothoa divaricata, t. 10, f. 15, 16, La- 
mouroux Expos, but he describes and figures the cells as fusiform, and not 
ovate, lanceolate, and his is from a Fucus. 
Description of some new species of Cowries^ as an addition to the 
Monograph in the Zoological Journal. 
Friend's Cowry. Cyprcea Friendii. Shell ovate ; back rather gibbous, 
pale reddish brown, with large red brown spots ; spire elongated, conical, 
prominent, acute. Base, black brown, convex, rounded, produced at 
each end, as long as the spire behind, and attenuated in front; margin 
rounded ; mouth, white, narrow, slightly widened in front, inner lip 
nearly toothless, with a few rather large conical teeth in front, the outer 
lip with rather large regular teeth. Columella concave in front, flat 
behind, without any plaits; inside white. 
When worn; back with transverse wavy streaks interrupted by three 
narrow spiral bands. Inhab. New Holland near Swan River. My col- 
lection. Dedicated to Capt. Friend, F.R.S. to whom I am indebted for 
several new shells from this habitat. Length of mouth 2|; diameter 
of shell 1 J; length of spire J an inch. 
This shell has a good deal the colour and form of a Cyprcea stercoraria^ 
but the base is not so dilated and is coloured like Cyprcea Talpa, and the 
spire is more elongated than in any Cowry that I know. The worn shell 
has three broad interrupted spiral bands occupying nearly the whole of 
the shell, the middle band being double. 
Two-warted Cowry. Cyprcea bicallosa. Shell oblong, ovate, 
pinkish brown, with large irregular bay spots ; the base orange, shelving 
at the sides; the extremities produced, recurved, with a rather large callous 
tubercle over each end ; the teeth large, deeply separated, twenty-two or 
twenty-three on each side ; the outer margin rather produced, sharp, 
slightly pitted on each side of both extremities. l^ength li inch, 
breadth 10 lines. When worn orange yellow. Differs from Cyp.\elvola 
by being larger, with two callosities, and in the teeth being longer and 
more numerous. My Collection, Col. Freeth’s, and that of Mr. Swainson 
and Mr. Tucker. 
I may also remark that I have lately received from Mr. Turner two 
specimens of Cyprcea gangrenosa of ^ large size ; covered with a milk 
white enamel, leaving a subcentral yellowish dorsal line, but agreeing in 
all other respects with the common state of the species.
