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



S. EPiDROMis. Har. labio inermi dilatato, dorso laevi, spira subnodosa. 



The S. epidromis, as it originally stood in the manuscript, was a recog- 

 nizable species, and precisely identical with the shell so named in the 

 * Systema ' ; for the erroneous reference to Gualtieri was not present, 

 neither was " carinato," nor any of the discordant details from " interius " 

 to the termination. As the printed description now stands, it would suit 

 S. emarginatus or succinctus, at the least, equally well. I doubt not our 

 author, when correcting the press, forgot his own species, and added the 

 partial essentials of one species to those of another. 



S. Canarium. Har. labio inermi dilatato, dorso spiraque Isevibus. 



The erroneous reference to plate 37 of Rumphius was not present in the 

 written copy, which contains the additional synonyms of ** Pet. Gaz. t. 98. 

 f. 1 1 ", and " Klein, t. 4. f. 73 " : the latter was not there originally. The 

 early description has been improved, in the press, by the addition of 

 " obovata", " Faux laevis, alba", and " longitudinaliter subundulatus." 



S. viTTATus. Har. labiis inermibus, spirae anfractibus vitta interstinctis. 



S. URCEUS. Har. labiis inermibus striatis, dorso nodoso. 



The erroneous reference to Gualtieri was not present in the original, but 

 in place of it the 37. W. of Rumphius (S. mutabilis) : " Spira testa bre- 

 vior, plicato-subnodosa " was, likewise, absent. " Klein, 49, urceus fim- 

 briatus" (a name for Rumph. t. 37. f . F & W) was interpolated by our 

 author. 



S. ATER. Turricula labiata. 



Neither the reference to Rumphius, nor the " et postice emarginatum " 

 were found in the original. This confirms my expressed belief that the 

 Museum species (to which no name was at first attached) was distinct from 

 that of the * Systema.' 



S. LiviDUS. Turric. labiata, anfractibus serie subspinosa. 



This was located in a section of Turricula distinguished as having the 

 outer lip dilated and rounded. 



Besides the above, the following unprinted details were found in the 

 manuscript : — 



The Strombus gigas was described at length under the appellation of 

 Harp ago gigas. 



Har. labio inermi rotundato, dorso spiraque subulato-spinosis. 



Gualt. t. 34. f. A. Bar. Icon. 1727. t. 7- 



Testa gibba, maxima, magnitudine capitis. Cauda obtusa. Spira spinis 

 patentibus, subulatis, vaUdis. Anfractus desinens in dorso spina. Series 

 in dorso spinarum maximarum ferme conicarum. Labium dilatatum, ro- 

 tundatum, spira longius, vix adnatum spiraj. Faux glabra, nitida, incar- 

 nata. Color pallidus. 



The Strombus dentatusi was also defined (without a specific appellation) 

 by the following characters : — 



Har. labio dentato, testa laevis, plicato-nodosa. 



Testa simillima reliquis, longitudine articuli digiti, lavis, flavescens, sub-
