MR. S. HANLET ON THE LINNEAN MS. OF THE ' MTJSErM TJLEIC^.' 63 



" Columella postice replicata est," and the objectionable "obovato-sub," 

 were not in the copy. No figures were cited in the original catalogue. 



C. SPECTRUM. C. caerulescens, flavo-nebulosus, punctis striisque albo- 

 luteis. 



The original description did not comprise those characteristics which are 

 so much at variance with the essentials of the C. spectrum of authors. The 

 following passages were omitted: " gibba, minus arete convoluta" (this 

 replaced " conica "), " Columella postice striata et replicata. Intus testa 

 sub-caerulescens/' " mucrone cingulis granulato." 



C. BULLATUS. C. flavus, albo nebulosus. 



The account of the variety, and the " vix tuberculata," were absent from 

 the manuscript. 



C. GEOGRAPHUS. C. oblongus gibbus corouatus. 



The Ruraphian name was the one attached to this species in the written 

 copy. 



C. TEREBELLUM. C scabcr inermis, striis tuberculatis. 



The synonyms attached to the published details were " Gualt. Test, 

 t. 25. f. L.— Arg. Conch. 1. 16. f. P.— Rumph. t. 33. f. EE." Now these har- 

 monize with both the heading and the description, and clearly indicate the 

 C. Nussatella of the * Systema ' ! 



The details attached to the published synonyms (which latter belonged to 

 the C. terehellum of the ' Systema,' and to which were joined " Gualt. t. 23. 

 f. O.— Bonan. 3. f. S/.—Pet. Amb. t. 13. f.24," ran as follows : 



" Testa cylindracea, glabra, antice angustior, desinens in spiram attenu- 



atam, anfractibus 3. Basis truncata, tenuis. Columella non torta, sed in- 



voluta. Color pallidus." 



CYPREA. 



Testa ovata laevis involuta. Apertura linearis, utrinque dentata. Spira 

 occultata intra testam. 



C. MAPPA. C subturbinata characterisata, macula longitudinali den- 

 tata. 



" Pet. Amb. t. 16. f. 2." was an omitted synonym. The terminal remark 

 is an improvement upon the earlier " Noscitur linea utrinque dentata in 

 superficie scripta." 



C. Arabica. C subturbinata characterisata, macula longitudinali 

 simplici. 



" Denticulis testaceis " and the description of the variety were additions 

 by the hand of Linnaeus. 



C. Argus. C subturbinata subcylindrica, maculis annularibus. 



The synonyms of Petiver (t. 97. f. 6) and Bonanni (f. 263), quoted in 

 the ' Systema, ' were also present in the MS., where " 2. s. 1 " was in the 

 place of " duabus." The " pallidis " was a misprint for the written " pal- 

 lidae." The account of the variety was sub^quent to the copy. 



C. testudinaria. C obtusa cylindrica, extremitatibus depressis. 



" Pet. Amb. t. 8. f. 7." was an unprinted synonym. 



C. CARNEOLA. C. subturbinata pallida, fasciis incarnatis.
