76 MB. S. HANLEY ON THE LIKNEAN MS. OF THE ' MUSEUM ITLIUC^.' 



the rest, and quoted for a M. unguis-odor, the brief definition of which m as 

 " M. daedaleiis triangularis, spira ventre breviore." 



The published details, and the drawings of the longer-spired and more 

 slender-bodied Murices (Rumph. t. 26. f. 1 ; d'Arg. 1. 19. f. E, H.), appeared 

 as M. lichenoides. 



I consider, then, that in that event the M. adustus (Arg. t. 19. f. H.), 

 which woidd tolerably suit the definition, would have been considered the 

 typical form, and M. axicornis (Rumph. t. 26. f. 1, and d'Arg. 1. 19. f. E.), 

 the variety y. 



M. SCORPIO. M. dsedaleus quadrangularis, spira subcapitata. 



The ill-judged final remark was not in the copy. 



M. SAXATiLis. M. dffidaleus quinquangularis, spira contigua. 



The idea of this being a mere variety was not expressed in the original. 



M. RAN A. M. angulatus subdepressus, costis lateralibus. 



The R. of d'Argenville was properly referred to the variety B. The 

 " alba ", " sulcis transversis ", and " Dorsum anfractum simplici cingulo 

 aculeato " were not in the copy. 



M. LAMPAS. M. angulatus tuberculis nodosis, cauda flexuosa, labio 

 interiore laevi. 



The earlier reading of " una alterave ruga " was " uno alterove denticulo." 



M. FEMORALE. M. augulato-triqucter : angulis antrorsum acuminatis. 



The intended name was M. triqueter. Grew's engravings (f. 7, 8) of the 

 species were correctly cited, and the erroneous reference to Rumphius was 

 not inserted. The printed additions were unimportant — " exarata", "re- 

 pando", " sub " before " edentula", and " levissime". 



M. LOTORIUM. M. angulatus, tuberculis eonicis, cauda flexuosa, labio 

 interno rugoso. 



" Subter " was a misprint for the written " inter " : the " ut in proximis " 

 was a printed addition. 



M. RUBECULA. M. angulatus, sulcis moniliformibus, costis lateralibus, 

 dorsalique. 



" Gualt. t. 49. f. I ". was rightly cited as illustrative : " ex " preceded 

 " lineis". 



M. RETICULARIS. Cos. insequalis gibba reticulata, cauda elongata. 



The erroneous reference to Rumphius was not present in the manuscript. 

 As corroborative of my expressed belief in the identity of the species de- 

 scribed in the ' Museum ' with the Triton ! mulus, it may be observed, that 

 our author has wholly separated this and the allied anus from the true 

 Tritons and Ranellee, and that the original heading corresponds accurately 

 with the peculiar characteristics. 



M. ANUS. Cos. inaequalis, gibba nodosa, labris rugosis. 



" Pet. Gaz. t. 74. f. 9" and " Pet. Amb. t. 6. f. 4 " were the unprinted 

 synonyms. The"rugisreticulato-intertextis'', "irrcgulaiis ", and " patens " 

 were emendations. 



M. RiciNUS. 21/. ecaudatus, ore utrinque dentato. 



" /Equalibus, ad labium niajoribus " was not in the copy.
