Nat. Hist., 1886), V., p. 99 (Cooker, like v. Marrens, is wrong with regard to L. globosa, as 
he gives REEve’s species L. pila, tumida and ovum as its synonyms, and adds: ‘In the Brit. 
Mus. pila, Reeve, is given as — chrysostoma Mensch. (9: Meusch.). The same authority unites 
vesicula, Gould, with globosa, Forsk., but this appears to me most unlikely.’ On the same 
page he writes: ‘“Diplodonta Savignyi, Vaill., figured in Savigny, pl. VIII, fig. 7.’ This mis- 
apprehended figure is a very good illustration of the real Diplodonta globosa, Forskal).-

“Hanley has shown that the Linnzan edentula (1758) was probably that 
named by Reeve L. ovum, an oriental form described by Forskal under 
the specific name of globosa (1776), and with which, according to von 
Martens (1880), L. pila, Reeve is synonymous.”)

Luc. ovum, Reeve. 
As the above comparison shows, the erroneous view of ForsKAL-CHEMNITZ’S 
species globosa, originates from AupourNn’s wrong opinion of Savicny’s figure in 
“Iconographie d. Mollusques de l’Egypte;” afterwards are included, as synonyms, 
REEveE’s species pila, tumida, and ovum, which species have nothing whatever to 
do with D. globosa, Forsk., consequently, wherever, in the literature globosa is given 
as = L. ovum, Reeve, it is doubtful which species is meant.
