174 SPECIES OF THE SYSTEMA. 
by Linneus. An example of that shell (Conus varius, Reeve, 
Conch. Icon. vol.i. Con. pl. 12, f. 58) is present in the Linnean 
cabinet, but was apparently added subsequently to the publica- 
tion of the ‘ Systema,’ since it is not mentioned by our author 
as having been in his possession. 
Conus clavus. 
The correctness of the ordinary identification (Conus clavus, 
Reeve, Conch. Icon. vol. i. Con. f. 194) is supported by the 
following synonymy attached to this species in the copy of the 
younger Linné : “ Mart. Conch. 2, t. 52, f. 570.” “ List. Conch. 
t. 744, f. 34.” This shell was not possessed by Linnzeus, who 
has not added to his published description. 
Conus Plussatella, 
“ List. 744, f. 35” is the amended reference in the Linnean . 
copy of the ‘ Systema.’ The synonymy, thus changed; becomes 
correct; “ Mart. Conch. 2, t. 51, f. 567” was annexed to it by 
the younger Linné. The Conus Nussatella of authors (Reeve, 
Conch. Icon. vol. i. Con. f. 56) is still preserved in the cabinet 
of Linneus, and alone answers to the combined descriptive 
and pictorial definition. 
Conus granulatus., 
In the box thus marked in the Linnean cabinet is still pre- 
served a richly coloured specimen of the Conus granulatus of 
authors (Mart. Conch. Cab. vol. ii. f. 574, 575): neither the 
cited figure of Rumphius nor of Gualtier correctly represents 
the species ; yet, although the characteristic sulci are omitted, 
one is still reminded of it by them. It appears somewhat 
strange that Linneus did not refer to Lister (760, f. 5); he had 
not, however, a copy of that work in his library when he con- 
stituted the species.
