98 THE NAUTILUS. 



but most of them depend for their status on the citation of 

 figures. 



The anonymous editor of the Catalogue added a few names on 

 his own account and was apparently a conchologist of some 

 note, but from his classification evidently not E. M. Da Costa. 

 According to Dillwyn (1817) it was George Humphrey. 



The following list comprises all the American species receiv- 

 ing names in the Catalogue. Those followed by an S are 

 Solander's, the others are by the anonymous compiler. I have 

 included the references to the figures which appear in the 

 Catalogue. 



It is curious that in the British Cyclopedia of Biography, in 

 which so many nonentities find a place, no reference is made to 

 the Duchess who was such a munificent patron of art, archae- 

 ology and science in her day. 



The only typographical error to be noted in the work is the 

 confusion by the printer of the names of Martini and Martyn, 

 but the references make it clear in every case which is meant. 

 None of these names are included in Sherborn's Index Animal- 

 ium, 1758-1800.
