138 THE NAUTILUS. 



As Sowerby's and Wood's names both refer to the typical form 

 of bicarinatus Say, as defined in Mr. Walker's excellent paper 

 (Nautilus, xxiii p. 1. & p. 21, 1909), the name major Beck becomes 

 synonymous with that form. 



The form described by Mr. Walker on p. 5, of the Nautilus xxiii 

 1909 should be written corrugatus ' Curr.' Wkr. 



PLEURODONTE ACUTANGULA Burrow. 



Burrow's name for the shell generally known as Pleurodonte 

 angulata Fer. from Porto Rico, should be used. Part of the syno- 

 nomy is given below. Pfr. (Monogr. I, p. 197, 1908) thought 

 Burrow's shell was Helicostyla papyracea Brod., a mistake which was 

 perpetuated in Manual of Conchology, ix, p. 219.
