SPENGLER’S original specimens in the Zoological Museum of the University of 
Copenhagen are labelled “aus Niquebar.’ Metvity and Sranpen (Proc. Zool. Soc. 
London, 1906, p. 838) write: “After detailed examination of many examples in all 
stages of growth, it is the opinion of Mr. ALEXANDER DEON that coronatum 
Spengler is synonymous (with Cardium Asiaticum, Chemn.);” at present I cannot agree 
with this opinion.
