It may be noted that Quoy and Gaimard and Cuvier only 

 give the specific name "/mt' " in French, Guerin-Meneville 

 being the first to give the the Latin laevigatiis, so that to him 

 the name of the species must be attributed. Milne-Edwards 

 in 1840 refers to the part of the " Iconographie " here in 

 question, thus showing that that work antedates his own.

 Darwin, from whose work I have taken most of the 

 synonymy, rightly observes that Lamarck's alternative name

 burrowing into it to the depth of an inch and three-quarters 

 presents an extraordinary spectacle. In some cases the
