MR. S. HANLEY ON THE LINNEAN MS. OF THE ' MUSEUM ULBIC^.' 77 



M. CAPiTELLUM. M. ecaiulatus ovatus, columella rugosa, labio eden- 

 tulo, superficie inermi rugosa. 



"Alba " followed "edentula", and "Umbilicus ad basin" terminated 

 the description in the original : the word " striis " was a subsequent intro- 

 duction. 



M. TURBiNELLUS. M. ecaudatus, turbinatus, columella dentata, spinis 

 explicatis. 



The printed additions are " anteriores ", " nodulosa ", " alba", " Cauda vix 

 uUa", and " Variat colore albo spira longiore ". 



M. Ceramicus. M. ecaudatus, utrinque acuminatus, columella dentata, 

 spinis conicis. 



"Rumph. t. 49. f. L." was an unpublished synonym. 



M. NODUS. M. ecaudatus ovatus, labio denticulato. 



As " Gualt. t. 28. f. R." was quoted, and " aut nigris, conicis, obtusius- 

 culis" (a character which probably belonged to some distinct species 

 erroneously supposed to be a variety) was not inserted in the manuscript, 

 I feel convinced that the Purpura hystrix of authors was the species 

 designed in the ' Museum Ulricge.' 



M. HYSTRIX. M. ecaudatus edentulus, fauce Isevi. 



M. MANCiNELLA. M. ccaudatus, edentulus fauce striata. 



This original heading, and the absence of the erroneous synonym from 

 the MS., confirm the received opinion of the identity of the Museum 

 species (not that of the ' Systema ') with Purpura mancinella. 



M. HIPPOCASTANUM. M. ecaudatus edentulus, fauce edentula Integra, 

 spinis serie triplici. 



Gualtieri's erroneously cited figure was not indicated in the manuscript. 

 No specific name had been originally attached to the description. 



M. MELONGENA. M. ccaudatus edentulus fauce patula laevi, spinis 

 serie duplici. 



" Bonan. 3. f. 186 " had been added to the synonymy by our author. 

 The details were less copious than in the published edition, " apice solo 

 acuminatus " being the meagre substitute for the entire description from 

 " Spira " to the end. 



M. Ficus. Bui. caudata, striis reticulatis, spira obtusa. 



" Pet. Amb. t. 6. f. 9 " was an omitted synonym. The shell described 

 in the ' Museum' was assuredly not the ficus of most writers. 



M. RAPA. Bui. caudata, striis longitudinalibus, spira acuta. 



M. Fusus. Turric. caudata laevis, labio dentato. 



" Bonan. f. 121 " and the name had been added to the MS. by Linnaeus. 



M. Babylonius. Turric. caudata, transversim angulo sulcata, labio 

 marginali versus basim sinu excise. 



M. COLUS. Turric. caudata striata, labio exteriore crenato. 

 The printed emendations were " longa " and " s. angulati." The name 

 was added by Linnseus. The following unnamed Turricula succeeded the 

 species in the manuscript copy : — 



T. caudata striata, longitudinaliter sulcata.
