80 MB. S. HANLEY ON THE LINNEAN MS. OE THE * MUSEUM ULBICiE.* 



Testa elongata, flavescens s. testacea. Anfractus 16, connexi sutura 

 crenulata, dorso duplici serie instructi punctis eminentibus pallidis. Aper- 

 tura subtetragona, subtus in canalis rudimentum desinens. 



The Murex Neritoideus of the * Sy sterna ' was thus described. 



Lyra Neritoides. L. testa nodosa subrotunda. 



Gualt. 



Testa crassa, ponderosa, alba cum rubedine tincta, figura Neritae, mag- 

 nitudine juglandis, cincta anfractibus 5 e nodis obtusis crassiusculis. La- 

 bium interius depressum, longitudine pictum macula ferruginea. 



TROCHUS. 



Testa conica. Apertura quadrangularis, basi columella contorta, sinu 

 descendens. 



The last five words had been substituted for " absque sinu evidente." 



T. MACULATUS. T. coutorto-umbilicatus conicus, vertice subnodoso. 



The printed description and the synonymy are so veiy dissimilar to the 

 written one, that I entertain no doubt that an early definition of T. Nilo- 

 ticus {with references to "Olear.Mus. t. 9. f. 5" and "Bonan. 3. f. 102") 

 was transmuted into that of a granular species, by the addition of " quasi 

 granis exasperata," &c. 



T. SOLARIS was not mentioned in the manuscript. 



T. PERSPECTivus. T. crenato-umbilicatus convexus obtususi margine 

 acuto. 



"Bonan. 3. f. 27, 28 " was quoted, as illustrative : "costa crenata", not 

 *' costa concava", was the earlier reading. 



T. HYBRIDUS. T. crenato-umbilicatus, convexus, undique obtusus. 



The proposed name was T. spurius. The " absque carina, rotundata " 

 was " absque angulis, glabra" : " albo, flavoque " preceded " variegata". 



T. Pharaonius. T. umbilicatus subovatus striatus, punctis globu- 

 losis, labio dentato. 



" Habitat in mari rubro, frequens. D. Hasselquist." was written : the 

 final remark was absent. 



T. Magus. T. umbihcatus convexo-conicus nodosus. 



The '* cinereo nebulosa " was a manuscript emendation by Linnajus. 



T. muricatus. Except' that "obverse" precedes "ovata", both the 

 diagnosis and the details are precisely similar to the printed account. 



T. scaber. T. umbilicatus subovatus, sulcis alternis majoribus moni- 

 liformibus. 



The erroneous figure of d'Argenville was not cited in the original, nor, 

 indeed, was any name attached to the description. The whorls were said 

 to number from 6 to 8 (not 4 or 5) ; and the aperture was termed " ovata," 

 not " subrotunda." " Pallida ", the final remark, and the present con- 

 struction and enlargement of the passage relative to the inner lip (which at 

 first ran thus, " Labium posticum coadunatum, sinu postico excisum "), 

 had been added by Linnaeus himself.
