Cypr^eida?. 
S. R. Roberts has published a catalogue of this family (Por- 
cellanidai, as an appendix to Am. Journ. Conch, v. part 3, in 
which he enumerates 8 genera with 197 species. 
Cj/pvfm. A. Sporleder has compared the species of this genus in his col- 
lection with Kiener’s ‘ Iconography,’ and remarks on the dilFerences of his 
specimens from those figured by Kiener. Mai. Blatt. xvi. pp. 94-106. These 
notes are not capable of being abstracted. 
Forty-five species of this genus occurring in New Caledonia are enume- 
rated by IT. Crosse, and distributed into five sections : — 
I. cylmdrace<B— Cyprcea proper of H. and A. Adams. 
II. pat%d( 2 =i Aricia (Gray). 
III. ylohosai=Lvponia (Gray)= Cyproidia (Swains.). 
IV. p7tst7dosfn = Pnstulnria (Swains.). 
V. coccinellif or 7nes= Trivia (Gray). 
Some of the New-Caledonian specimens of known species show a remark- 
able tendency to melanism ; other species, peculiar to this island, have both 
ends of the shell strongly produced, like the Australian C. scotti (Brod.).

NaTICID/E. 
Natica. Tiber! applies the name Nevei'ita (Risso) to all European species 
wdth corneous opercle, and identifies some species insufficiently described by 
Risso with known Mediterranean forms. In applying the name intricata 
(Donovan) to a species with corneous opercle, he differs from Philippi and 
other authors, who identify it with Natica valcnciennesii (Payr.). Bull. Mai.
