I have abstained from quoting Weinkauff (in Kiister's Conch. Cab., p. 33, pi. ii. figs. 10, 11, 

 pi. iv. figs. 13, 14, pi. v. figs. 7, 8, 13, 14, Oliva inflata, Lam., with which he identifies the species 

 of Eeeve), because, variable as this species is, it seems to me incredible that the form figured in 

 Krister can possibly be the Oliva picta, Reeve. For the same reason I omit Tryon, Manual, vol. v. 

 p. 77, pi. xxi. figs. 97—99, pi. xxii. figs. 100—105, Oliva funcbralis, Lam., and content myself with 

 following the nomenclature of the British Museum, with the impression that both Weinkauff and 

 Tryon must have mistaken Reeve's species. In the Encycl. method., vol. iii. p. 658, No. 29, Oliva 

 inflata, Deshayes unites Lamarck's three species, Oliva undata, Oliva inflata, and Oliva bicincta, 

 quoting for figures of these, as Lamarck (vol. vii. pp. 428, 429) had done before, the plates in the 

 Encyclopedie (vol. iii. pi. cccbdv. figs. 7, 5, and 1 respectively). It is impossible to read Deshayes' 

 full and accurate remarks, or even Lamarck's short notice, and to glance at the exquisite engravings 

 of the Encyclopedic, without recognising that they must represent something quite distinct from the 

 species figured by Reeve (loc. cit. supra) and Sowerby (loc. cit. siipra), which both represent very 

 well indeed the British Museum types of Oliva picta, Reeve.
