1^0. 33. C, Pyriformis'xs the C umhilicata of Solander, and a» 

 iSirch is mentioned in my Index to the 3d edition of Lister's Hist, 

 Conch., see t. 667. f. 12. It is said in the Portland Catalogue, 

 Lot 255, to inhabit the Coasts of Coromandel, and till after the 

 pubiication of my Descriptive Catalogue, I never saw the shell.+ 



No. 35. I once saw a shell which had been marked by Mr, 

 Humphreys as the C.Jlaveola of Linnaeus and Solander, and I 

 believe that Mr. Gray's supposed variety of C. ziczag is the same 

 species. 



No. 36. Clandesiina. Soon after the publication of my Descrip* 

 live Catalogue I obtained a specimen of this shell, and, on again 

 referring to Solander's MS., I found that he had at first considered 

 it to be a variety oTC.ziczacy and afterwards described it separately 

 is the Linnean C clandestina, with a reference to Petiver, t. 97. f. 10. 

 I mention this circumstance because it serves to confirm the pro- 

 priety of Mr. Gray's arrangement ; but his reference to the C nitida 

 of S^olander puzzles me, and I much dotibt whether any species is 

 cither described or mentioned with this name among the Doctor's 

 MSS. in the Banksian Library. 



^ No. 39. Quadrimatulata, This rare shell, of which I never 

 saw more than one specimen, is the C. nimbosa oi Solander and of 

 ihe Portland Catalogue, and comes from the Coast of CoromandeU 

 ' -iNo. 44. Tabescens. I doubt the propriety of uniting C. teres 

 wif^ this species, and it more probably belongs to C. cylindrica. 



{. + No, 33i I transcribe the following from my copy of Solander's MS. to 

 ^pw. that the C. pyriformis of Gray cannot be identical with C. umbilicata oH 

 ^olander.

 - I have marked in italics those passages which prove my assertion : from the 

 consideration of this description it appears much more probable that C. Pyrutnf, 

 of Gray is identical witll. C. umhilicata of Splander. G. B.S.
