[G. B. S. Jun. regrets the necessity of changing his opinion, 

 with respect to the relative merits of the two names given 

 above. The author of the Tankerville Catalogue has expressed 

 his assurance that the name elongatum was published })y 

 Swainson previously to being quoted in that work. The 

 name is also in common use.]
