78 ME. S. HANLET ON TUE LINNEAN MS. OF THE ' MUSEUM ULBIC^. 



Testa parva, striis plurimis secundum anfractus. Anfractus scabri, sulcis 

 longitudinalibus 15. Color anfractuum superne griseus inferne pallidas. 

 Apertura ovata. Rostrum baseos rectum, testae dimidio brevius. Labium 

 tantum exterius integrum. An filia praecedentis ? 



M. MORio. Strom, spira subnodosa, labio exteriore intus rugose. 



The synonymy, as might be expected (for Seba was unknown to Linnaeus 

 when the descriptions were written), was not in the original. 



M. COCHLIDIUM. Strom, spira pyramidata, anfractibus planis. 



The reference to Seba, the name, and the " Cauda subulata, longitudinc 

 testae " were not present. 



M. CANALicuLATUS. Stvom. spira subconvexa, anfractibus distantibus. 



The " Anfractus distincti canahculo per omnes spiras," the name, and 

 the reference to Seba, were the printed additions. " Habitat in Canada. 

 Kalm." was appended. 



M. Aruanus. Strom, incurvus spinosus ventricosus, angulo obsolete. 



The objectionable name (for assuredly the Buccinum Aruanum of Rum- 

 phius suits not " spinosus ") was not present in the original, but had sub- 

 sequently been added by our author, who seems to have erased the original 

 " Habitat in Canada. Kalm." I doubt not that Pyrula carica was in- 

 tended. 



M. PERVERSus. Strom, inversus. 



The wretched engraving of Gualtieri was not cited. 



M. Tritonis. Cas. pyramidalis laevis, columella dentata. 



"Bonan. 3. f. 188 " stood in the place of Seba. The printed additions 

 were " plerisque", " et suturis variis alternis crassis", and the specific epi- 

 thet. "Genus difficile eruitur" was written after the description, and the 

 following note erased : — " Ad genus retuli ob labium interius adnatura 

 in quibusdam latius, ob suturas verrucosas, ob caudam canaliculatam 

 parum elevatam, ob labium postice dentatum, quae omnia affinitatem 

 arguuut." 



The Triton nodiferus was probably designed by the following description, 

 which succeeded that of M. Tritonis : — 



Cas. (corrected by Linnaeus to Murex) Neptuni. C. pyramidalis nodosa, 

 columella dentata. 



Testa maxime facie statura et colore praecedentis. Anfractuum angulus 

 summus nodis promiuentibus, unde et spira nodosa evadit, quod non in 

 prsecedente. Apertura praecedentis. Labium interius magis dilatatum, 

 raaximeque planum. Columella non dentata. Habitat Constantinopoli. 

 Edw. Carleson. 



M. trapezium. Strom, spira nodosa, labio denticulate, columella 

 rugosa. 



M. ALUCO. Tvrric. recurvirostra, spinosa, serie simplici. 



Gualtieri was not cited, and the leference was to " N. Strombus tubero- 

 sus" {Cerithium aluco), not O. (C. nodulosum) of Rumphius. The inner 

 lip was described as "non adnatum, sed prominens" : "s. fuscis", and 

 " Variat cauda recta, &c.", were not in the original.
