70 MR. S. HANLET ON THE LINNEAN MS OE THE ' MUSEUM ULEICiE.' 



1. BucciNUM. Testa ovata, ventiicosa. Apertura Integra, semilunaris, 

 superne extrorsum, postice introrsum. 



2. Cassida. Testa ovata, gibba. Cauda reflexa oblique. Apertura 

 longitudinalis, obliqua. 



3. Lyra. Testa ovata, ventricosa. Apertura ovata, patens, pone sub- 

 marginata. Labium interius nullum. Columella compressa, nitida. 



4. TuRRicuLA. (No definition : evidently intended for all the turreted 

 shells.) 



5. Morion. Testa oblonga, inermis. Apertura oblonga, labio interiore 

 reflexo unidentato. 



In the first were located the Dolia, and B. echinophorum ; in the second 

 the Cassides, with B. jjapillosum and arcularia ; in the third the Harpce 

 and Purpura ; in the fourth the TerebrcB ; in the fifth B. glans, spiratum, 

 glabratum. 



B. undosum was located in Murex. 



B. PERDix. B. umbilicatura subsulcatum, basi recta. 



The proposed name was B.pennatum, adopted from Rumphius : " lu- 

 nari-patula" was not in the manuscript. 



B. POMUM. jB. exumbilicatum, labio utroque dentato. 



"Barr. Ic. t. 1325, f. 12" (cited in the 'Systema'), and "Klein, 95. 

 Semicassis, striata, costosa", were the additional synonyms of the manu- 

 script : " s. sulcata", " nullum, interne ", " at vero in adultioribus accres- 

 cit planum album", were subsequent emendations. 



B. DOLiUM. B. emarginatum subsulcatum rugosum, labio exteriore 

 reflexo dentato. 



The Dolium jimbriatum, or, as Deshayes prefers it, D. Minjac (the Malay 

 name was Bia Minjac in Rumphius, who preceded Adanson), was assuredly 

 the shell described in the ' Museum ', as the recorded dentation of the outer 

 lip clearly manifests. An excellent figure of it in Petiver (" Gaz. t. 99. 

 f. 11 ") was cited in the original copy, where the drawing of Gualtieri was 

 not referred to. 



B. ECHINOPHORUM. B. (changed to Cassida) tuberibus (" quaterna 

 serie " interpolated) nodosum. 



The reference to Rumphius was correctly written 1, not I, in the original, 

 where " albido-flavescens " was the indicated colouring. The printed emen- 

 dations were "quadruplici s. quintuplici", instead of "triplici", and the 

 entire account of the aperture, which at first ran simply as follows, " La- 

 bium exterius crassius, margine tenuiore, interne subrugosum, obsolete 

 dentatum." 



B. TUBEROSUM. B. tubcribus gemina serie nodosum. 



The entire published account of this species had been interpolated by 

 Linnaeus in the written copy, with the exception of the " color pallidus." 

 The " nodis anterioribus " was a misprint for "nodis acutioribus." 



Gualtieri's admirable figure of the Cassis tuberosa of authors was not, 

 however, cited, which confirms my statement that the species of the 'Mu- 

 seum ' was not the Cassis usually so designated.
