This is the species better known as 5". floridus Lam., which after Haxlkv (cfr. Boog 

 ought to bear the Linnean name of S. urceus. Linnë" himself quotes fig. T of 

 RtMi'ii. which is certainly not Lamarck's floridus, but probably S. dentatus Lin. if not S. nncri- 

 catus Martini; as the fig. G of plate 32 of GuALTIERl (Index testarum conchyliorum), likewise 

 quoted by Linné, is however quite another species of Strombus, the original specimen is the 

 only safe source, and so this shell must bear the name urceus, hovv inconvenient it may be to 

 alter long familiar names.

1 the onh specimen is still rather young and approaches by its shape S. terebellatus 

 brown and agrees with that of the rare S. bulbulus, also with the figures of
