base than 0. Lorenzianus, according to Chemnitz, and 



never spotted round the base as in that figure, which I 



take to be a worn C.flammeus. 



C. Loveni, Krauss; vide C.jaspideus. 



C. magus, Linnaeus. Conch. Icon. pi. 35. f. 190. 



To this species may be added as synonymes the 

 C. Indicus tenellm, Circa, and clandestine of Chemnitz. 

 M. Deshayes considers the two last distinct, but I do not 

 participate in this opinion. 

 C. Maetinianus, Reeve, Conch. Icon. PI. 40. f. 217. 



Described by Gmelin under the name C. radiatus to 

 which it is strictly entitled. 

 C. Mozambictjs, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 21. f. 118. 



Lamarck should have adopted Chemnitz's name for 

 this species, C. elongates, when referring to his figure of 

 it in the Conchylien Cabinet, as M. Deshayes has pointed 

 out, and is the first to make the correction. 

 C. obesus, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 7. f. 37. 



The name C. Ceylonicus, Chemnitz, given as a synonyme 

 of this species has priority of the above by four years. 

 Unfortunately Bruguiere described another in the Ency- 

 clopedie Methodique named by M. Hwass, 0. Ceylanensis, 

 which though not literally alike, is the same in sense. 

 C. oblitus, vide C. elongatus. 

 C. pipekatus, Eeeve, Conch. Icon. pi. 43. f. 230. 



This name having been employed by Dillwyn, as ex- 

 plained under C.punctatus, I propose to name the species 

 C milmjnu in honour of the author of the « Descriptive 

 Catalogue of Shells,' published in 1817, who is still living 

 and in the enjoyment of good health. The synonymy ol 

 the last century was worked out by Dillwyn, with consi- 

 derable pains. 

 C. pe^fectus, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 25. f. 138. ^ 



Described by Gmelin several years before the publica- 

 tion of the Encyclopedie Methodique under the name 

 C. ochroleucus. 

 C Pbotetjs, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 40. f. 219. 



The name given to this species in the Encyclopedie 



Methodique must be cancelled in favour of C. spuriu 



previously given to it by Gmelin. 



C. punctattjs, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 24. f. 133. 



Dillwyn, as we learn from M. Deshayes, proposed ffa 

 name C. piperatus for this species, in consequence . 

 Gmelin having used it in reference to the C. augur an 

 m agus, confounded together. As Gmelin employed tl 

 name punctatus in error, it is scarcely worth while to chan, 

 the name of the species under consideration, but the nan 

 piperatus which I have applied to a new species at PI. 4 

 must be altered ;— vide C. piperatus. 

 C.Rhododendeon, Couthouy ; vide C. Adamsoni. 

 C. Sinensis, Sowerby. Conch. Icon. pi. 15. f. 76. 



This name being pre-occupied by Gmelin I propose 

 change it for C. Sowerbii 



C viegatus, Reeve. 0. zebra, Reeve (not of Lamarc 



Conch. Icon. pi. 16. f. 87. C. Lorenzianus, Ree 



Kiener (not of Chemnitz). 



The sheU in M. Delessert's collection figured by 



Kiener (Icon. coq. viv. pi. 55. f. l),and by myself (Con 



Icon pi 27 f. 152) is identical with the species figu 



in error (Conch. Icon. pi. 16. f. 87) for the C. zebra, wb 



I now propose to name C.virgatm. It has been co- 



dered identical with the C. Lorenzianus of Chemr 



(Conch. Cab. vol. xi. pi. 181. f. 1754-5), but I now | 



with Lamarck, that the figure of the Conchylien Cab 



represents the C.flammeus; a worn specimen apparer 



but distinguished by certain blotches of colour about 



base, which are never present in C. virgatus. The n 



Lorenzianus has priority overftammew. 



C zebea, Lamarck. Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. pi. 76. f 



We are indebted to M. Kiener, and the Lamarc 



collection, for the information that the C. zebra of Lam 



is the shell regarded by me as a variety of the C. str, 



neus (Conch. Icon. pi. 42. f. 225 a) ; and the cnxumst 



of Lamarck arranging the C. zebra next in order tc 



C stramineus in his ' Anim. sans vert.,' is a strong indie; 



of the view he entertained of their close affinity. Dc 



account of the shell figured in Conch. Icon. pi. 16. f 



for the C. zebra, see C. virgatus. 



Emendations applicable to the Concholocha IcomcA only. 



C. Baebadensis, Hwass. Conch. Icon. pi. 10. sp. 47. 



The shell figured by Mr. Sowerby in his Conchological 

 Illustrations, f. 105, and by myself at pi. 10 proves to be 

 a worn specimen of O. nebulosus ; but I doubt if the shell 



attributed to the C. Barbadensis in Paris, is anyl 

 more than a variety of C. miliaris. 

 C bcxetjs, Reeve, Conch. Icon. pi. 47. p. 265. 

 This shell might be regarded a variety of C lignt
