Lucina globosa, Foiiskâl, A. H. Cooke, Rep. on the Testae. Moll. obt. in the Gulf of Suez (Ann. and Miig. 

 Nat. Hist., 188()). V., p. 99 (Cooki;, like v. Mahtens, is wrong witli regard to L. globosa, as 

 he gives Reeve's species L. pila, tiimida and ovum as its synonjms, and adds : "In the Brit. 

 Mus. pi/a, Reeve, is given as = chri/sostoma Mensch, (a: Meusch). Tlie same authority unites 

 vesicnla, Gould, with globosa. Forsk., but this appears to me most unlikely." On the same 

 page he writes: 'Diplodonta Saingnyi, Vaill., figured in Savigny, pi. Vlll, fig. 7." This mis- 

 apprehended figure is a very good illustration of the real Diplodonla globosa. Forskål).

"Hanlej' has shown that the Linnæan edentula (1758) was probably that 

 named by Reeve L ovum, an oriental form described bj' Forskål under 

 the specific name of globosa (1776), and with which, according to von 

 Martens (1880), L. pila. Reeve is synonymous.")

 Luc. ovum. Reeve. 



As the above comparison shows, the erroneous view of Forskâl-Chemnitz's 

 species globosa, originates from Audouin's wrong opinion of Savigny's figure in 

 "Iconographie d. Mollusques de l'Egypte;" afterwards are included, as synonyms, 

 Reeve's species pila, tumida, and ovum, which species have nothing whatever to 

 do with D. globosa. Forsk., consequently, wherever, in the literature globosa is given 

 as ^= L. ovum, Reeve, it is doubtful which species is meant.
