  they 
  should 
  be 
  written 
  Polynices, 
  Hipponyx 
  and 
  Ony-

   chia. 
  I 
  write 
  mespillum 
  with 
  two 
  I's 
  just 
  as 
  Miihlfeld 
  did, 
  when 
  Latin 
  

   mespiliim 
  has 
  only 
  one, 
  I 
  have, 
  however, 
  changed 
  mcgintyi 
  to 
  macgintyi 
  

   because 
  the 
  former 
  spelling 
  v;ould 
  make 
  it 
  impossible 
  for 
  foreigners 
  

   to 
  pronounce 
  this 
  patronymic. 
  And 
  of 
  course 
  I 
  have 
  corrected 
  the 
  nu- 
  

   merous 
  typographical 
  errors 
  occurring 
  in 
  Johnson's 
  List. 
  Conchologists 
  

   can 
  confidently 
  label 
  their 
  shell 
  specimens 
  v;ith 
  the 
  names 
  used 
  in 
  

   this 
  book. 
  

  

  Like 
  in 
  MARINE 
  MOLLUSCA 
  , 
  the 
  gender 
  of 
  each 
  genus 
  is 
  stated, 
  so 
  

   that 
  mistakes 
  about 
  the 
  agreement 
  of 
  the 
  specific 
  with 
  the 
  generic 
  

   name 
  that 
  are 
  so 
  often 
  found 
  in 
  books 
  and 
  shell 
  lists 
  may 
  be 
  avoided. 
  

   The 
  Introduction 
  on 
  Latin 
  and 
  Greek 
  in 
  Conchblogy 
  v/ill 
  be 
  very 
  help- 
  

   ful 
  in 
  this 
  regard. 
  In 
  listing 
  specific 
  names 
  I 
  have 
  followed 
  the 
  al- 
  

   phabetical 
  order 
  in 
  each 
  genus 
  and 
  subgenus 
  though 
  the 
  latter' 
  s 
  name 
  

   is 
  not 
  mentioned. 
  The 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  author 
  is 
  also 
  added, 
  thus 
  making 
  

   reference 
  to 
  any 
  other 
  book 
  unnecessary 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  classifi- 
  

   cation. 
  

  

  Although 
  I 
  assume 
  full 
  responsibility 
  for 
  the 
  contents 
  of 
  this 
  

   book, 
  I 
  wish 
  to 
  express 
  my 
  indebtedness 
  to 
  Dr. 
  R, 
  Tucker 
  Abbott 
  for 
  

   his 
  advice 
  on 
  the 
  classification 
  of 
  certain 
  families 
  and 
  genera 
  and 
  

   on 
  the 
  use 
  and 
  meaning 
  of 
  a 
  fev; 
  names.
