166 SPECIES OF THE SYSTEMA. 
- younger Linné, “ Knorr, 4, t. 3, f. 1,” and ‘ Mart. Conch. 2, t. 
57, f. 635,” have been cited as illustrative. The stated locality 
is erroneous; it is an Oriental shell. The variety e, which 
was not specified in the tenth edition of the ‘Systema,’ is the C. 
cedo-nulli of authors. 
Cows Vicarius. : 
Unfortunately for science, Linnzus did not himself possess 
this obscure species, which being described in but two lines, 
and so characterised “ fasciis 4, flavis, immaculatis” as not to 
correspond with the cited delineation, cannot be positively deter- 
mined, and must consequently be omitted from the catalogue 
of Linnean species. The referred-to figure of Argenville re- 
presents a variety of ammiralis; hence the vicarius has been 
ascribed to that shell by some writers: the younger Linné 
has attached it to the supposed variety cedo-nulli. The C. vica- 
rius of Lamarck’s ‘ Animaux sans Vertébres’ is perfectly dis- 
tinct, and does not purport to be identical. 
Crews senator. 
I do not find this Cone enumerated among those possessed 
by Linneus. His meagre description, unfortunately, being 
equally applicable to more than one species, the loose verbal 
definition, not being limited by any illustrative reference, will 
not permit of any absolute certainty of identification. A 
spotted variety of the Conus planorbis of Born (Test. Mus. 
Vind. pl. 7, f. 13, the C. vulpinus of Bruguiére), with articu- 
lated fillets, has been accepted for its representative by many 
conchologists, and agrees extremely well with the few features 
that have been syecified by our author. And in confirmation 
ofthe correctness of the supposition, I observe, in the copy of 
the ‘Systema’ that belonged to the younger Linné, a reference 
to plate 59, f. 659 of the second volume of Martini’s great 
work, a painting which is habitually quoted as a representation 
of that shell.
