FURTHEB NOTES ON THE OLIVIDAE. 



BY CHARLES W. JOHNSON. 



I. ORIENTAL SPECIES. 



As one very important work (Chenu's Illustrations Conchyl- 

 iologiques, Oliva by Duclos)was not available at the time I 

 wrote my previous notes (NAUTILUS, xxiv, pp. 49-51, 64-68, 

 121-124) on several species of Oliva, the names of which were 

 affected by adopting the oldest recognizable characterization, it 

 seems well at this time to briefly review the subject. I will 

 therefore give a more complete synonymy of the species, together 

 with some additional notes, hoping thus to show more clearly 

 the changes in nomenclature and the relationship of the species 

 and varieties.
