NO- 3579 PORTLAND CATALOGUE — REHDER H 



Solander's name was assigned by earlier authors to various species. 

 Donovan (1803, p. 158) gave Solander's name to specimens he beheved 

 to be what is now called Area imbricata Bruguiere. In this he was 

 followed by Montagu (1808, p. 51), who assigned certain British 

 specimens to this species, obviously confusing Area tetragona PoH with 

 imbrieata, since he, hke Donovan, cites Lister's figure (1732, pi. 367, 

 fig. 207) of imbrieata for Arcajusca. Dillwyn (1817, p. 227) actually 

 places A. Jusea Solander (mss.) in the synonjrmy of Area imbrieata 

 Bruguiere, in which he is followed by Iredale (1961, p. 92). Lamy 

 (1907, p. 41), on the other hand, places the "Portland Catalogue" 

 name m the synonymy of A. tetragona PoH, 1795, and Dall (1921, p. 

 98) equates the species with jusea Bruguiere, apparently on the sole 

 and uncritical basis of the similar name. An examination of the 

 figure in Gualtieri, the only reference cited by both Solander and 

 Lightfoot (Kay, 1965, p. 15) leaves us in doubt as to exactly what 

 species is represented. The three figures are rather styHzed and 

 could represent any of several species of Area. For this reason I 

 feel that I am justified in regarding this name as a doubtful one. 



1005 "Five species of Solen . . . pallidus, S. (List, conch, t. 412 

 inferior) . . . ." 



Nomen dubium (figure indeterminable) 

 Dillwyn (1823, p. 22) says that Lister's figure represents Solen 

 truncatus Wood, 1815, but this must be an error, for there is no 

 resemblance between the figures of Wood and Lister. 



1005 "Solen . . . plebeius, S. {Lister, 421. f. 265)."

1046 "A pair of fine Conus Augur, S. or dotted Cone, Knorr. VI. 

 tab. 13. fig. 6." 

 Conus augur [Lightfoot, 1786]

1055 "Argonauta navicula, Rum. 18. 4 . . . ." 

 Nomen dubium 

 This may be the same as Argonauta gondola Dillwyn, 1817, but the 

 figure in Rumphius is too crude to identify with certainty the species 

 intended.
