This character has been observed also in the Pacific Pseudocypraea adamsonii Sowerby, which belongs to the almost extinct subfamily Eocypraeinae of the family Ovulidae (egg-shells) so that the spotted outer lip could be called primitive. Mrs. Jefferies' shell (28 mm, pale pink, 11 spots) came from Haga Haga (near Kei Mouth); another shell (20 mm, pink, 7 spots) preserved in the Posonby collection (British Museum) came from Port Alfred. Recently Mrs. Faulkner (Gonubie, South Africa) has sent me two more beach shells of the same species, collected at Gonubie: one (23 mm, dark red, with 10 spots) has been figured here, the other is 29 mm long, rich orange, with 12 spots on the right margin. In these four shells, the unique labial spots are not roundish like in Cypraeidae, but rather rectangular so that the right margin looks like a chain of square parts alternatingly pink and white; the spots are always pink, even in the orange specimen. The columellar side is always unspotted.
