BUCCINUM. 953 
Beeetwun Hewastoma. 
The Purpura hemastoma of authors is marked for this species 
in the Linnean cabinet. The specimen (Kiener, Purpura, f. 79), 
an ordinary Mediterranean one, has the four usual rows of 
knobs, but as the two upper ones are far more conspicuous 
than the lower series, our author has only mentioned the 
“duplici fascia nodosa.” Gualtier’s figure and the stated 
locality being both accurate, this abundant shell was correctly 
determined at an early period. 
Brectuune lapillus, 
Naturalists easily identified this shell by the excellent figures 
of it in Lister, and the reference to the ‘ Fauna Suecica.’ Adan- 
son’s engraving is also very like it, yet one feels surprised at 
the species ranging so far South as Senegal. Réaumur’s ‘ Me- 
moir’ has been likewise correctly cited (Act. Paris), although 
his name does not appear in the ‘Systema.’ The Purpura 
lapillus of authors (Kiener, Purpura, f. 77, f, 1, 0, q) is present 
in the Linnean cabinet, and alone of its contents agrees with 
the combined description and synonymy. “ Colore variat” and 
* Tist. 965, f. 19” were intended to have been added in the 
proposed new edition of the ‘ Systema.’ 
Biccwiunt sinavragdulus. 
The Turbinella rustica (Turb. smaragdulus, Reeve, Conch. 
Icon. vol. iv. Turb. pl. 3, f. 18) of Lamarck is marked for this 
shell in the Linnean collection, and agrees with its description 
in the ‘Museum Ulrice,’ with the cited figures of Seba, and 
with “ List. t. 831,” which has been added to the synonymy in 
the revised copy of the ‘Systema, where Linneus has also 
written ‘“cincta lineis albis et purpurascentibus confertis,” and 
indicated ‘‘ Bengal” as the locality. The name is unfortunate,
