54. C. B. Adams. — After arranging the duplicate Reigen Collection in the 

 State Museum at Albany, New York, I proceeded to Amherst, Mass., to 

 istudy the type-collection from M^hich Prof. Adams's book was written. The 

 result is embodied in a " Review of Prof. C. B. Adams's * Catalogue of the 

 Shells of Panama,' from the Type Specimens," written for the Zool. Soe. in 

 Jan., and published in the Proceedings for July 1863, pp. 339-369. In this 

 paper the synonymy between the Mazatlan and Panama Catalogues is pointed 

 out, and the species assigned to the modern genera. The following are the 

 principal corrections needed in the list. Rep. pp. 267-280. The results in 

 the succeeding paragraphs, pp. 280, 281, should be altered accordingly. 

 (M. = Brit. Mus. Maz. Cat.) 

 3. Ovula tieglecta= arena, var. 



8. CijprcBa punctidata ; quite distinct from C. arahicida. 

 11. Cyprcea rubescens, C. B. Ad.,= T. sanguinea, dead. 



15. Marginella sapotilla, C. B. Ad., is perhaps a large form of sapotilla, Hds. It

 specimens of cceruhscens, 

 33. Oliva araneosa, C. B. Ad.,= 0. Melchersi, M. 591.

 43. Nassa canescens:= dead sp. of N.pagodus. 



50. Na'isa pagodus, C. B. Ad., =decussata, Kien. [? non. Lam.] = a«<^«, M. 625. 



51. Kassa Panamensis has the operculum of Phos and Norihia, = exilis, Pws. 



52. Nu'^sa proximo + o4l N. striata, C. B. Ad. [non Mus. Cwav. = N. paupera, Gld.], 



+ iV". crebristriata, M. 633, are probably vars. of iV. versicolor. 



53. Nassa scahriuscula, C. B. Ad., + 56 N. Wilso7ii=-N. complanata, Pws. 

 70. P«;7J?<;-a/oi;eo/«te, probably = worn sp. of Cuma costata, M. 610. 



74. Purpura osculans+Rh. Calif amicus 4- Bh. dislans, are probably vars. of Bhizo- 



cheilus mix. 

 81. Columbella costellata, C. B. A.d..,^=AnacMs scalarina, Shy. 

 98. Columbella parva, C. B. Ad., = deadsp. of Anachis pggmcea. 

 103. Columbella tessellata, 0. B. Ad. (non Gask.),=^. Gmdemalensis, Rve. 

 110. Cassis ahbreviata can scarcely be distinguished, in some of its many varieties 



from the Texan Bezoardica infiata. 

 154. Cuncellaria affinis scarcely differs from C urceolata, M. 445.
