Because Cithara was by Klein applied in 1753 to the genus now- 

 known as Harpa, Dr. Paul Fischer rejected Cgthara, of Schumacher, for a 

 Turrid genus, and substituted Eiteithara. It was properly answered by 

 Dr. DalP- that Klein, being a pre-linuean writer, cannot contend against 

 Schumacher's orthodox nomenclature. But tliough Fischer's argument 

 fails, his verdict does not; for Schumacher's Cgthara was not a Tun id. 

 His genotype is a species figured by Chemnitz, '''•> which Bolten in 1798 

 called Pteri/gia snhterraneti, which Schumachei' himself renamed Cijtimia 

 striata in 1817, and which Lamarck in 1822 named Cancellaria citharella. 

 As long ago as 1847 (xray •''* agreed to exclude it from the Turridte. 

 Dr. Pfeiffer^'i identified the Chemnitzian figure as Strouihiis pliratus, a 

 conclusion endorsed by Deshayes.^^ By Sowerby^" this was regarded as
