88 ME. S. HANLET OS THE LINNEAN MS. IN THE ' MUSEUM ULEIC-E.' 



P. TUBEBCULATA. P. dcntata conica tuberculata, postice sima. 



Sima was the earlier name in the MS., but was erased by Linnaeus. 



P. LUTEA. P. iategerrima striata, vertice mucronato iuflexo. 



P. UNGUIS. P. ovali-oblonga, apice emarginata, mucrone dorsali 

 carinato. 



Unguiformis was the intended appellation. 



P. TESTUDiNARiA. P. ovata gkberrima intcgerrima. 



P. RUSTICA. P. integra, striis 50 obtusiusculis. 



P. FUSCA. P. ovata iutegerrima, striis elevatis, vertice obtuse. 



The intended name was cinereo-nigricans. 



P. CRUCiATA. P. ovalis convexa integerrima, cruce picta. 



P. RETICULATA. P. conica compressa, superficie reticulata. 



The suggestion I have elsewhere made that this uncertain shell might 

 prove the European Pedicularia, induces me to remark that, although P. 

 Sicula has been supposed to be a comparatively modern discovery, Favaune 

 had long ago delineated it in the fourth plate (f. H. 1.) of his enlarged 

 edition of d'Argenville. 



P. NiMBOSA. p. conica ovaUs, costis confertis, vertice perforate. 



The discrepancy between the heading borrowed from the ' Systema', and 

 the after detads, is removed by the substitution of the original one. The 

 shell was termed perforata (not nimbosa), and was wrongly identified by 

 Linnffius with the striated brown Fissurella of the ' Systema'. 



In addition to the printed species, the two following were present in the 

 manuscript copy. 



P. SOLARIS. P. ovata integerrima, striis subnodosis, vertice acutiusculo. 



Testa ovata, diaphana, magnitudine extimi articuli digiti, margine inte- 

 o-crrimo, Isevis, striis subtilissimis ina;qualibus numerosissimis, fasciis lon- 

 gitudinalibus rubris albo passim maculatis. Mucro acutiusculus obliquus 

 albidus. 



This was placed in the section having a simjjle margin. 



P. PERFOLIATA. P. conica, reclinata, perfoliata. 



Testa magnitudine coryli nucis, conica, sed cono retro inclinato, acutis- 

 sima, alba, imbricata lameUis horizontaliter testam cingentibus. Margo 

 integer, ovalis, antrorsum gibbus s. dilatatus. Cavitas profunde glabra. 



This description very fairly suits the Patella antiquata of the twelfth 

 edition of the ' Systema'. 



DENTALIUM. 



Testa univalvis, subcylindrica, utrinque aperta. Spira regularis nulla. 



Although the Serpulce were intermingled, it is clear that they did not 

 accord with the above definition. 



D. ELEPHANTINUM. D. subulatum subarcuatum, angulatum. 



The synonymy of the tenth edition was apjjeuded. Lister excepted ; the 

 erroneous 13 of the reference to the Gazophylaceum was erased. Dens 

 elephantis was the proposed trivial name.
