but decidedly more accurate and distinguishable; the name 
“Jetter-hoorn” was, moreover, attached to the cited figure of 
Rumphius. That shell, too, (Encycl. Méth. Vers. pl. 323, f. 4) 
may be still seen in the Linnean collection, but the name is 
only written on it with plumbago, a mode adopted by Sir J. 
Smith, when he himself identified a specimen that he found 
unmarked in the typical collection. 
Cows genevalts, 
This shell was originally regarded by Linneus as a variety 
of capitaneus. So correct a synonymy, however, was attached 
to the account of it in the final edition of the ‘ Systema,’ that 
naturalists have identified the object intended with great faci- 
lity. No specimens whatsoever were delineated in the two hun- 
dred and seventy-sixth. copper-plate of Lister’s ‘ Historie,’ 
which merely contains the divisional arrangement of his fourth 
section. Figure 35 belongs in truth to plate 786, and has been 
thus corrected by the younger Linné, whose father has detected 
and erased the obnoxious 276 in his revised ‘Systema.’ The 
Conus generalis of authors (Reeve, Conch. Icon. vol. 1. Con. pl. 
10, f. 48) is still preserved in the Linnean cabinet, and alone 
agrees with the combined description and synonymy of the spe- 
cies. “ Muricata’”’ was a typographical error for “ mucronata,” 
and has been thus corrected by our author in his own copy: 
“Mart. Conch. 2, t. 58, f, 645, 6,’ 1s added as a synonym by 
the younger Linné. 
Cows bivgs. 
The language and synonymy of the tenth edition of the 
‘Systema’ alike prove that two very dissimilar species, both of 
which are still preserved in his cabinet, the C. tessellatus (Re- 
genf. pl. 8, f. 19) and C. virgo of authors (Rumph. pl. 31, E, 
not K, as misprinted—for there is no such letter in that plate 
—in the twelfth edition) were included under this designation.
