September 8, 1874. Cape York, off Albany Island, Torres Strait. 3 to 12 fathoms.

 Malay Archipelago (v. Martens) ; the Philippines (British Museum) ; China and Japan 

 (Lischke). 



This species, as Mr Hanley has pointed out (Wood, Ind. Test., Strombus urceus, p. 124, sp. 32, 

 Strombus floridus, Lam., p. 215, sp. 5, and also Ipsa Linn. Conch., p. 275), is Strombus urceus, 

 auctorum nee Linnei. The mistake began early, and has continued persistently. The disturbance 

 of a long-established identification is much to be regretted, as Mr Hanley has truly said ; but the 

 transference of Linne's name from this species to the species to which he really applied it is 

 inevitable when a witness so capable as Mr Hanley assures us that this species we have before us now 

 is not to be found in Linne's collection, and that the shell preserved in Linne's cabinet, and marked 

 by him as Stro7nbus urceus, is not the Strombus urceus auctorum, but the Strombus mutabilis, Swainson, 

 the Strombus floridus, Lam. In selecting a name for this now nameless species, I have taken that of 

 Martini as the earliest I could find. Of course, the later application by Schroter of this same name 

 to the Cerithium uncinatum, Gm., is absolutely without importance here. After Martini, Schumacher 

 would probably claim acceptance for his name of Strombus ustulatus. Dunker (Index Moll. Mar. 

 Japon., p. 95) has not been quoted above, because his references seem to embrace both our present 

 species and Strombus floridus, Lam.
