  The 
  following 
  list 
  may 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  an 
  appendix 
  to 
  E. 
  von 
  

   Martens's 
  work 
  on 
  the 
  Mollusca 
  of 
  the 
  Mauritius 
  and 
  the 
  Seychelles, 
  

   forming 
  part 
  of 
  Mobius's 
  ' 
  Beitriige 
  zur 
  Meeresfauna 
  der 
  Insel 
  

   Mauritius 
  und 
  der 
  Seychellen.' 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  121 
  species 
  here 
  recorded, 
  between 
  forty 
  and 
  fifty 
  do 
  

   not 
  occur 
  in 
  the 
  above 
  work 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  majority 
  of 
  them, 
  as 
  might 
  

   be 
  expected, 
  are 
  well-known 
  forms.

  A 
  single 
  specimen 
  from 
  this 
  locality 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  pale 
  colour, 
  

   faintly 
  tinged 
  with 
  yellow, 
  as 
  tho 
  type 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  

   purchased 
  from 
  tho 
  " 
  Taylor 
  Collection." 
  The 
  original 
  example 
  of 
  

   C. 
  gemmulatus 
  is 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  national 
  collection, 
  and 
  proves 
  on 
  com- 
  

   parison 
  to 
  be 
  merely 
  the 
  young 
  state 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  species. 
  

  

  Kiencr 
  and 
  Sowerby 
  are 
  wrong 
  apparently 
  in 
  their 
  identification
