1 It is hardly worth while to discuss questions of priority for anything so arbitrary and subjective as sub- 

 genera, but d'Orbigny's name of Volutella for this group of Volutes had already, before 1839, when he published 

 it, been worn threadbare by Perry in 1811, and by Swainson in 1830; not to speak of Forskjael and Tode's 

 earlier and separate use of it in botany.
