248 SPECIES OF THE SYSTEMA. 
Bttechriim papilosunr. 
The Buccinum papillosum of authors (Sowerby, Genera Shells, 
Bue. f. 5) is marked for this species in the typical collection. 
Linneus, in his revised copy of the ‘Systema,’ has enlarged 
the correct synonymy by the addition of the reference “ Gualt. 
t. 44, f. G.” He has also grouped together the Nasse by the 
following manuscript remark ‘‘ 455—461 in fauce seu columella 
superne dens unus,” and has appended “ Java” as a locality for 
this shell. 
Bcchui glans. 
The Buccinum glans of authors (Kiener, Coq. Viv. Bue. f. 52) 
is marked for this species in the Linnean collection. The ad- 
mirable description in the ‘Museum Ulrice,’ which is explana- 
tory (“ denticulo ad basin et apicem,” M. U.) of the inappropriate 
“pidentato,” togéther with the correctness of the synonymy, 
enabled naturalists to readily determine this most elegantly 
painted shell. Aware of the inadequacy of his description in the 
‘Systema, Linnzus had proposed to enlarge it by the following 
addition: “ Albida, cincta—lineis testaceis; col(umella) adglu- 
tin(ata,) imperf(orata). Faux unidentata.” The variety “tota 
atra, labio crasso” (M. U.) was assuredly a distinct species, and 
perchance N. olwacea. 
Bucci arenlaria. 
The Buccinum (Nassa) arcularia of Deshayes (arcularia, var. 
a of Lamarck.—Kiener, Coq. Viv. Bucce. f.115) is marked for this 
shell in the Linnean cabinet. Deshayes has justly separated 
the variety b of Lamarck as a distinct species, and has proposed 
for it the name Rumphii. It is somewhat remarkable that, 
although the Nassa Rumphu was delineated in the same plates
