Obs. — Hanley, in the reference given above, states that he 

 has seen Lamarck's own specimen, and that it does not belong to 

 Erycina, but is " more like an aberrant Venus." The uniting of 

 striatissima and cardioides had been decided upon by us from an 

 examination of Delessert's work, but we think it is clear that 

 cardioides, Lamarck, is the name which should stand for this 

 species, and that the shell which requires a change of name is 

 that subsequently described by Lamarck as Venus cardioides, if 

 it should prove to be a Chione.
