zoophyte he had in view. Could there have been a doubt, it 

 is removed by Miiller himself, for he quotes it as identical 

 with the Coryne squamata of the Zoologia Danica. But the 

 latter animal is the type of the genus Coryna of Ehrenberg 

 (1834), and of his followers; and hence it is certain that 

 Ehrenberg''s Coryna and Gmelin's Clava are synonymous. 

 The law of priority decides which name is to be preferred.
