limus striatus of Bruguiere ; whereas in his enumeration of 

 the species, he rejects the name striatus entirely and places 

 those two synonyms under two separate species, to which 

 he gives new names. I think however that this name can- 

 not in justice to Muller, from whom Bruguiere adopted 

 it, be applied to our species, inasmuch as he had reference 

 to the South American species. As it is, therefore, neither 

 the glans nor the striata, I adopt the name applied by Gme- 

 lin, for which I am indebted to the synonyms collected by 

 Ferussac, on whose accuracy and opportunities for compa- 

 rison in ^this instance, I wholly rely, when in my own 

 opinion^the reference would, but for this authority, be 

 doubtful.
