MR. S. HANLEY ON THE LINNEAN MS. OF THE 'MUSEUM ULEIC^.' 69 



The only printed additions are " ob " before " ovato'*, " s. glauca", and 

 " fuscis lineis " in place of the " saturatius." 



V. iETHioPiCA. V. spinis fornicatis cingentibus apicem papillarem. 



" Habitat in inari Pacifico ", " Pet. Amb. t. 7. f. 5 " (copied from Rum- 

 phius, t. 31. f. B.), and "Bonan. t. 3 f. 1 " (cited in the * Systema') were 

 the unprinted additions. 



V. CYMBiUM. The entire account of this shell was in the handwriting 

 of Linnaeus, and inserted at a later period than the mass of species. The 

 decided reference to Gualtieri was not in the manuscript. 



V. DLL A was not mentioned in the written catalogue. 



In addition to the species pubhshed in the ' Museum, ' the following were 

 also characterized in the manuscript : — 



V. FABA. V. ovata, antice subplicata, labii exterioris margine reflexo, 

 basi rotundata. 



Bonan. 3. f. 49. 



Testa magnitudine vix fabae, ovalis, laevis, antice subplicata, livida, punc- 

 tis fuscis aspersa. Spira testae i brevior, subplicata. Labium exterius re- 

 flexum, basi rotundatum integrum. 



This was evidently the shell so designated in the * Systema.' 



V. GRANULATA. V. fusiformis, sulcis longitudinahbus, striisque trans- 

 versalibus. 



Rumph. Mus. t. 29. f. V. 



Arg. Conch, t. 12. f. V. 



Testa facie antecedentis, sed sulci et striae contrariae, fusiformis, sulcis 

 longitudinahbus elevatis obtusis, striis transversalibus exaratis. Color ci- 

 nereus, fasciis linearibus 2 rubris ex punctis. Spira longitudine ventris. 

 Apertura praecedentis. 



This was the V. sanguisuga of the ' Systema.' 



The preceding species referred to was 



V. LIMA. V. fusiformis, sulcis transversis, striisque longitudinahbus. 



Rumph. Mus. t. 28. f. T. 



Testa fusiformis, scabriuscula, striis longitudinahbus secundum testam, 

 et sulcis secundum anfractus adscendentibus margine acutiusculis. Color 

 albidus sulcis elevatis rubris — albidus sulcis elevatis flavis albo interruptis. 

 Spira longitudine ventris. Apertura oblonga, intus alba. Basis acuta, 

 emarginata. Labium exterius integrum j interius nullum. Columella den- 

 tibus 4 obliquis. 



These features fairly enough suit the Mitra filosa, generally, and with 

 reason, supposed to be the V.Jilaris of the * Mantissa.' The cited figure 

 however, seems M. gracilis of Reeve. 



BUCCINUM. ' 



The species which compose this group in the * Museum ' were originally 

 separated under many generic designations.
