on to say that this figure represents an unrecognizable species and 

 thus disposes of the name Lampadion. Wurtz was unaware of the 

 fact that Roding cited the wrong figure in Favanne for his species. 

 Roding apparently meant to cite F 11 on plate 63 but referred instead 

 to "fig. 2," possibly reading the 11 as a Roman II. That Roding did 

 make an erroneous citation for the species to which he gave the 

 popular name "Das Labyrinth," is proven by the fact that Favanne, 

 in his own later anonymous work (1784, p. 6), cites pi. 63, F 11, of 

 his "Conchylogie" for this species, "Le Labyrinthe." 



968 "Three varieties of Isognomon perna S. (Ostrea, L.) 



enveloped with Sponge, and another curious species of the 



same genus." 



Isognomon 

 Here Isognomon is used, as it is later (lot 3041) with the same 

 species: Ostrea perna L. The type of the genus is, however, Ostrea 

 isognomum by tautonymy (see lot 176). 



969 "Two fine species of Voluta, viz. Melo, Marty n, vol. III. 



772, 773 .. . ." 



Cymbium (Melo) melo (Lightfoot, 1786) 



Voluta melo [Lightfoot, 1786], p. 41. 



Voluta anguria Lightfoot, 1786, p. 64. 



Voluta indica Gmelin, 1791, p. 3467. 



Cymhium maculatum Roding, 1798, p. 152. 



Cymbium melo Roding, 1798, p. 152 (in part).

Adanson's figure is cited by Lightfoot for Solander's "variety b" 

 of his Voluta scaja, which is validated in lot 3039 by a reference to a 

 figure in Martini. Both of these figures represent Voluta cymhium 

 Linnaeus.
