162 SPECIES OF THE SYSTEMA. 
“List. 787” is added by Linneus in his revised copy of the 
‘Systema.’ The letter I in the reference to Rumphius (in the 
tenth edition only) is a misprint for No. 1, which is not unlike 
Bandanus, but has been cited for a variety of marmoreus by 
Bruguiére, &c. The synonymy is otherwise correct: Seba’s 
figures and the larger D of Gualtier exhibit that form in 
which the coronation is almost obsolete. 
Cows tiapertalis. 
The Conus imperialis of authors (Reeve, Conch. Icon. vol. i. 
Con. f. 60) is marked for this species in the Linnean cabinet. 
The younger Linné has erased the letter I from the reference 
to Rumphius, and the engraving of Regenfuss is usually cited 
for C. viridulus; otherwise the synonymy is correct. ‘ Mart. 
Conch. 2, t. 62, f. 690, 691,” has been added in the copy that 
belonged to the younger Linné.

Seven varieties of this shell are enumerated in the ‘ Museum 
Ulrice,’ and three distinct species are cited in the synonymy of 
that publication. The synonymy of the ‘Systema,’ and the 
expression “ fasciis obsoletis flavis,” limit the variations in some 
small measure, yet it is clear that Linneus comprehended seve- 
ral distinct species under one appellation. The 15 Q. of Ar- 
genville, generally quoted for papilionaceus, but referred to this 
Cone in the ‘Museum’ and the earlier edition of the ‘ Sys- 
tema,’ has been omitted in the final one, where, nevertheless, 
the following species are included by the references: C. litte- 
ratus of authors (Rumph.—Bon. 863—Regen. f. 46—Gual. 21, 
O); C. millepunctatus (Regen. f. 29); C.eburneus (Arg. f.1,—7 
is a typographical mistake—Gual. f. G.). An irrecognisable 
figure of Bonanni (132, only added in the twelfth edition), and 
Gualtier, pl. 21, f. G. (usually quoted for C. fustigatus) com- 
plete the synonymy. Naturalists have wisely selected the first 
of these shells, which agrees correctly with the description, be- 
cause the delineations of it are not only much more numerous,
