fortune to restore to its proper position. Conchological science is 

 indebted to the administration of the Geneva Museum for the 

 admirable care with which the Lamarckian collection is preserved. 

 The types of M. fimbriates consist of two specimens, one perfect, 

 the other incomplete. Contrasting, in the Geneva Museum, the 

 former with Reeve's plate, I found it to correspond exactly. 



In the British Museum, I saw three, perhaps types, but not so 

 marked, labelled "planiliratus Reeve, Swan R., M.C." In London, 

 I also saw one, marked type "Murex polypleura Brazier, Port Lin- 

 coln, S. Australia. Pres. J. Brazier, 95/3/7." Again, one as type 

 of Brazier's pink variety. I have already noted the identity of 

 polypleurus and planiliratus.

It is now suggested that Murex pholidotus Watson, may also be 

 added to Craspedotriton. Perhaps Fusus cereus Smith, is identical 

 with that Challenger species. The material in the British Museum 

 under these names is not sufficient to reach a satisfactory con- 

 clusion. Perhaps Murex brazier i Angas, should also be inserted 

 in this genus.

By Tryon, T. paivce Crosse was united to T. hanleyi Angas, a 

 decision which has misled Australian collectors. In the British 

 Museum are six specimens marked type "Trophon paivae Crosse, 

 York's Peninsula, South Australia. Pres. G. F. Angas, 70/10/26." 

 There are also five shells marked type, and labelled "Fusus hanleyi
