G2 MR. S. HANLET ON THE LINNEAN MS. OF THE ' MUSEUM ULRICA.' 



C. MINIMUS. C. cinerascens, punctis oblongis cinctus. 



The original description has been much altered by Linnaeus. It ran as 

 follows : *' Testa ovata, glauco-cinerea, gibba, striae transversales plus 30 

 punctis fuscis oblongis. Spira convexa, alba, maculis fuscis magnis trans- 

 versis." The cited figure does not even suit these meagre characteristics, 

 which might have been equally applied to C glaucus. 



C. RUSTicus. C. ovatus, basi rugoso-scaber, spira conica convexa. 



The variety was not noticed, and d'Argenville was not quoted in the ori- 

 ginal catalogue. " Flavo et glauco " should have been " flavo aut glauco," 

 as written. 



C. MERCATOR. C. ovatus, albus fasciis reticulatis flavis. 



C. BETULINUS. C. subemarginatus, basi rugosus, spira planiuscula mu- 

 cronata. 



Seba was not cited. 



C. FiGULiNus. C. emarginatus, basi rugosa, spira convexa acuta. 



An additional synonym, " Rump. t. 31 (error for 33, there being no 

 number 1 in that plate) f. 1," was indicated. 



C. Ebr^us. C. ovatus albus fasciis nigris ex maculis transversis. 



" Pet. Gaz. t. 99. f. 12." was quoted. 



C. stercus-muscarum. C. emarginatus, basi striatus, spirae anfrac- 

 .tibus canaliculatis. 



Of the two species confounded under this designation the C. arenarius 

 appeared as a variety in the manuscript. Of the typical form " Spira Isevi," 

 " Pet. Gaz. t. 75. f. 1," and " Rumph. Mus. t. 33. f. Z," were cited as 

 illustrations ; the other synonyms were ascribed to " Var. a. coronatus 

 spinis obtusis." The colouring was not mentioned. 



C. VARius. C scabro-coronatus, elongatus, spira coronata acuta. 



C. GRANULATUS. C. scaber inermis, striis Isevibus. 



The original size indicated was " magnitudine coryli.'* 



C. MAGUS. C subcylindricus, fasciis longitudinalibus albo punctatis. 



The erroneous figure of d'Argenville was not referred to ; and the 32, Q 

 (as in the ' Systema'), not 34, A, ofRumphius was quoted as illustrative. 

 The final remark had been interpolated by Linnaeus. 



C. STRIATUS. C. ovato-oblongus gibbus nebulosus, striis tenuissimis 

 parallelis fuscis. 



The "Caeterum testa minus ante convoluta est," is a press addition. " Pet. 

 Gaz. t. 98. f. 9." was correctly cited. 



C. TEXTILE. C. pictus venis reticulatis luteis, maculis luteis fus- 

 cisque. 



The intended name (C. drador) was an amusing specimen of concholo- 

 gical Latin : it was of course borrowed from d'Argenville's appellation of 

 ** Drap d'or.'* " Columella ad postica quasi replicata est " was added in 

 the printing; the "luteo " was originally " albo " ; the "subconica " was 

 " anfractibus subconicis " ; and there was no mention of a variety. 



C. AULicus. C. pictus venis reticulatis fasciisque longitudinalibus inter- 

 ruptis fuscis.
