64 MR. S. HAl^'LET ON THE LTNNEAN MS. OF THE ' MUSEUM ULTlICiE.' 



C. TALPA. C. subturbinata violacea, fasciis pallidis. 



" Pet. Amb. 1. 16. f. 1. " was an unprinted synonym : "pallida flavescens" 

 was the earlier reading for " testacea." The final remark was not in the 

 copy. 



C. Amethystba. C subturbinata, dorso violaeeo. 



Rumphius was not originally cited as illustrative. 



C. Vanelli. C. subturbinata, maculata punetis lutescentibus. 



" Obsoletis *' was originally in the place of " acutis " : the " ssepe lutes- 

 centibus " was an addition of the press. C. Ovum Vanelli was the intended 

 designation. 



C. LOTA. C subturbinata alba, denticulis subulatis. 



C. FRAGiLis. C. subturbinata gibba fragilis, obsolete fasciata. 



Linnaeus himself inserted this heading, with the first three lines of the 

 printed details, in the manuscript copy. Neither the reference, nor the 

 longer account of the variety (evidently a different species) appeared there. 



C. CAPUT-SERPENTis. C. obtusa triquetro-gibba, postice obtusiuscula. 



" Fusis" was the earlier reading for "confertis." 



C. Mauritiana. C. obtusa triquetro-gibba, postice depresso-acuta. 



" Pet. Gaz. t. 96. f. 8. ex Insula Mauritii " was added in the manuscript : 

 " fuscus '* was the earlier version of " fusco-testaceus." 



C. viTELLUS. C. subturbinata livida, maculis albis. 



The published reference was substituted for " Bonan. 3. f. 254," a more 

 characteristic figure : " maxima ex parte distincta, sed " followed " Spira." 

 " Albida," not " alba," was the tint at first ascribed to the base. 



C. Mus. C. obtusa subovalis gibba cinerea, fascia longitudinali fusca. 



Our author himself inserted the account of this species in the manuscript. 

 Seba was not quoted. " Habitat in Carthagena " was appended to the 

 description. 



C. TIGRIS. C. obtusa ovata, postice obtusa. 



In the synonym of Rumphius, 36 is a misprint for 38 : the erroneous 

 reference to the H of Gualtieri was not in the copy, where " Pet. Gaz. t. 96. 

 f. 7" was indicated as illustrative. The printed additions were " autalba," 

 " fusco-ferrugineis " (in lieu of " fuscis "), and " s. alba, quasi exarata; pos- 

 tice subcylindrica, truncata " ; the previous words " Linea, &c." of that 

 sentence were also absent from the original description, but had been in- 

 serted by the hand of Linnaeus. " Postice " preceded " planiusculo," and 

 '* subviolaceo " followed "nitore." 

 C. LYNX. C. oblongo-ovata, linea flavescente, postice acutiuscula. 



No variety was mentioned in the written copy. 



C. Isabella. C obtusa cylindrica, extremitatibus luteis. 



'* Pet. Amb. t. 16. f. 16." was cited in the manuscript, where the final 

 remark was wanting. 



C. ONYX. C. umbihcata, subtus fusca. 

 Neither of the synonyms was quoted in the copy. 

 C. succiNCTA. C. umbilicata, labio interiore utraque extremitate ro- 

 tundato.
