  Odostomia 
  (Ivara) 
  terricula 
  [turricula] 
  Dall 
  and 
  Bartsch 
  (1909, 
  p. 
  179) 
  was 
  described 
  

   by 
  Dall 
  and 
  Bartsch 
  in 
  Arnold 
  (1903, 
  p. 
  285). 
  The 
  name 
  was 
  a 
  manuscript 
  one 
  of 
  Carpenter, 
  

   and 
  it 
  was 
  misspelled 
  as 
  terricula. 
  Dall 
  and 
  Bartsch 
  (1909) 
  pointed 
  out 
  the 
  typographical 
  

   error, 
  so 
  the 
  writer 
  assumes 
  that 
  the 
  corrected 
  form 
  might 
  be 
  authenticated. 
  However, 
  

   Dall 
  (1921, 
  p. 
  130) 
  apparently 
  decided 
  that 
  the 
  original 
  misspelling 
  should 
  stand 
  for 
  the 
  

   specific 
  name 
  he 
  so 
  wrote 
  it. 
  Dall 
  was 
  followed 
  by 
  Oldroyd 
  (1927, 
  p. 
  173), 
  Burch 
  (1946, 
  

   no. 
  61, 
  p. 
  39), 
  and 
  Abbott 
  (1954, 
  p. 
  290). 
  Keen 
  (1937, 
  p. 
  43) 
  and 
  Smith 
  and 
  Gordon 
  (1948, 
  

   p. 
  194) 
  used 
  "turricula." 
  Such 
  a 
  dual 
  usage 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  healthy 
  condition 
  in 
  the 
  taxonomy 
  of 
  

   the 
  species, 
  for 
  error 
  of 
  interpretation 
  and 
  listing 
  of 
  two 
  different 
  species 
  could 
  easily 
  creep 
  

   into 
  records. 
  The 
  most 
  practical 
  and 
  least 
  involved 
  method 
  of 
  solving 
  the 
  problem 
  is 
  to 
  

   return 
  to 
  the 
  original 
  spelling 
  of 
  the 
  specific 
  name. 
  This 
  has 
  published 
  sanction 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  original 
  authors. 
  An 
  original 
  author, 
  of 
  course, 
  has 
  no 
  more 
  right 
  to 
  change 
  his 
  pub- 
  

   lished 
  name 
  than 
  any 
  other 
  author. 
  However, 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  it 
  does 
  give 
  an 
  authoritative 
  

   opinion.
