SPECIES OF THE SYSTEMA. 
“ Tast. t. 878, f. 221” and “ Pet. Gaz. t. 13, f. 8” are added 
in the copy of the younger Linné. 
Venus Vellorata. 
The Sanguinolaria rugosa (Chemn. Conch. Cab. vol. vi. pl. 9, 
f. 79) is marked for this species in the Linnean cabinet, and 
corresponds to the description in the ‘ Systema.’ The recorded 
locality is erroneous; most West Indian shells, indeed, are 
ascribed to the European seas by our author. ‘Int.’ for 
“‘margine integerrimo ” is added in his manuscript. 
Venus finvdrtata. 
The Corbis fimbriata (Crouch, Introd. Conch. pl. 6, f. 2) of 
the Lamarckian school of conchology is marked for this 
species in the Linnean cabinet. An error exists in every 
synonym attached to the description in the final edition of the 
‘Systema.’ C and G in the references to Argenville and 
Gualtier must be transposed (which is the reading of the 
‘Museum Ulrice’ and of the previous edition of the ‘Sys- 
tema’); 42 must replace 43 (our author invariably transposes 
these two plates) in the citation of Rumphius; Klein and Lister 
(f. 172 belongs to plate 335) must be omitted, for they belong 
to the succeeding species. 
s 
Venus reticulata. 
The V. reticulata is not enumerated among the shells which 
were accumulated by the illustrious Swede. 
As the species stood in the tenth edition of the ‘ Sveti it 
was impossible to recognise it: the two references to figures, 
with which it was furnished, being alike incorrect. The former 
of these (Rumphius, pl. 43, f. H) was omitted in the final 
edition, the latter is expunged in our author’s revised copy of 
that work.
