80 MR. S. HANLEY ON THE LINKEAN MS. OE THE ' MUSEUM ULRTCiE.' 



Testa elongatii, flavescens s. testacea. Anfractus 16, connexi sutura 

 crenulata, dorso duplici serie instructi punctis eminentibus pallidis. Aper- 

 tura subtetragona, subtus in canalis rudimentum desinens. 



The Murex Neritoideus of the ' Systema ' was thus described. 



Lyra Neritoides. L. testa nodosa subrotunda. 



Gualt. 



Testa crassa, ponderosa, alba cum rubedine tincta, figura Neritse, niag- 

 nitudine juglandis, cincta anfractibus 5 e nodis obtusis crassiuscuUs. La- 

 bium interius depressura, longitudine pictum raacvila ferruginea. 



TROCHUS. 



Testa conica. Apertura quadrangularis, basi cohimella contorta, sinu 

 descendens. 



The last five words had been substituted for " absque sinu evidente." 



T. MACULATUS. T. contorto-umbilicatus conicus, vertiee subnodoso. 



The printed description and the synonymy are so very dissimilar to the 

 written one, that I entertain no doubt that an early definition of T. Nilo- 

 /ic?<s (with references to " Olear. Mus. t. 9. f. 5" and "Bonan. 3. f. 102") 

 was transmuted into that of a granular species, by the addition of " quasi 

 granis exasperata," &c. 



T. SOLARIS was not mentioned in the manuscript. 



T. PERSPECTivus. T. crenato-uinbilicatus convexus obtusus : margine 

 acuto. 



" Bonan. 3. f, 2/, 28 " was quoted, as illustrative : " costa crenata", not 

 " costa concava', was the earlier reading. 



T. HYBRIDUS. T. crenato-umbilicatus, convexus, imdique obtusus. 



The proposed name was T. spurius. The " absque carina, rotundata " 

 was " absque angulis, glabra" : " albo, flavoque " preceded " variegata". 



T. Pharaonius. T. umbilicatus subovatus striatus, pimctis globu- 

 losis, labio dentato. 



" Habitat in mari rubro, frequens. D. Hasselquist." was written : the 

 final remark was absent. 



T. Magus. T. umbilicatus couvexo-conicus nodosus. 



The " cinereo nebulosa " was a manuscript emendation by Linnaeus. 



T. muricatus. Except' that " obverse " precedes " ovata", both the 

 dia:^nosis and the details are precisely similar to the printed account. 



T. scABER. T. umbilicatus subovatus, sulcis alternis majoribus moni- 

 liformibus. 



The erroneo\is figure of d'Argenville was not cited in the original, nor, 

 indeed, was any name attached to the description. The whorls were said 

 to number from 6 to 8 (not 4 or 5) ; and the aperture was termed "ovata," 

 not "subrotunda." " Pallida", the final remark, and the present con- 

 struction and enlargement of the passage relative to the inner lip (which at 

 first ran thus, " Labium posticum coadunatura, sinu postico excisum "), 

 had been added bv Linnaeus himself.
