G6 MR. S. HANLET ON THE LINNEAN MS. OF THE ' MUSEUM ULEICiE. 



" lutea " for " flava " ; and " totam basin " for " maximam partem baseos." 



C. GLOBULUS. C. rostrata Isevis. 



The printed additions were " alba s.", " extremitate utraque " (in place 

 of " postice"), *' Superficies punctis vix manifestis notata", and " excur- 

 rentes in strias". 



BULLA. 



Testa subrotunda, inflata, Isevis. Apertura oblonga, non utrinque . den- 

 tata. Spira obsoleta. Columella obliqua. 



The Murex jicus and rapa of the printed edition were originally located 

 in this genus, from which Auris Midce, Auris Judee, and achatina were ex- 

 cluded : the two former were placed in Morion, the last in Buccinum. 



B. OVUM. B. birostris, labio dentato. 



"Arg. t. 21. f. A." "Pet. Gaz. t. 94. f. 7." " Pet. Amb. t. 8. f. 6.'* 

 were additional references in the written copy : " magnitudine ovi galli- 

 nacei", "apice et basi producta", were emendations during the printing. 

 The " dilatata " was originally modified by a "parum." 



B. voLVA. B. birostris, rostris elongatis striatis. 



"List. t. 711. f. 63" had been added to the copy by the hand of Lin- 

 naeus. The mode of reference (not, as in the earlier Miitings, by sections 

 and chapters) evinces that this addition was, in all probability, subsequent 

 to the publication of the work. 



B. VERRUCOSA. B. angulata, aucta utrinque puncto osseo. 



The correct synonyms of "Arg. t. 21. f. M.'* and "Pet. Gaz. t. 97. 

 f. 22." were found in the manuscript : the printed emendations were, " mag- 

 nitudine ovi passerini ", " uti anterius ", and " granis duobus " for the earlier 

 " punctis." 



B. GiBBOSA. B. angulata, cingulo elevato. 



"Bonan. 249", "List. t. 711. f. 64", "Pet. Gaz. t. 15. f. 5", were 

 cited in the copy: " prsecedentis magnitudine", "solidiorque", with the 

 modification of "cylindrica" by a preceding "sub", were press emen- 

 dations. 



B. NAUCUM. JB. rotundata pellucida. 



The size was not at first mentioned. 



B. AMPULLA. B. rotundata opaca. 



The printed " nulla " replaced the earlier " descendens, nuda ", and 

 "pallido-testacea " the written " albida." The " antice, nullus vero postice " 

 was an emendation of the press. 



B. PHYSis. B. spira obtusa, lineis crispata. 



" Ssepe", "hiansque", " tenue", and the name, are not to be found in 

 the written copy : " apicem " was the reading for the printed " ventrem, 

 adnatum." 



B. AMPLUSTRE. B. spira elevata, fasciis incarnatis. 



B. PALLIDA. B. spira elevata acuta, corpore cylindrico. 



So very many changes has this puzzhng species experienced in the 

 works of our author, that it has been thought advisable to transcribe the 

 written description from the manuscript copy : —
