copy of the ‘Systema’ that belonged to the younger Linné, who 
has, likewise, inserted ‘‘ tota’”’ before ‘ levi.” 
Bruce maculata. 
The term “ indiyisis” has been modified, in the revised copy, 
by the insertion of the prefix “sub.” ‘Two very distinct species, 
the Terebra oculata (Rumph. pl. 30, f. D) and the 7’. subulata 
(Gualt. pl. 56, B.—Rumph. pl. 30, f. B), were appended as 
varieties in the ‘Museum Ulrice,’ by the expressions “ Variat 
colore luteo characteribus albis; Colore fulvo, characteribus 
nigricantibus.” The former is excluded as typical by the 
“flavescens maculis purpurascentibus” of the ‘Systema;’ the 
latter was subsequently constituted a species by Linneus him- 
self. Omitting, then, from the too comprehensive reference to 
Rumphius all his figures except A (his ‘““Strombus 3” suits not 
the colouring; his “‘ Strombus 2” is equal to B), we shall have, 
in the twelfth edition of the ‘Systema,’ a purified synonymy, 
and a pictorially defined species that can only be identified with 
the Terebra maculata of modern writers, specimens of which 
(Martini, Conch. Cab. f. 1440) still repose in the Linnean 
cabinet. 
Bucctwum subBulatun, 
The Terebra subulata of authors (Sow. Thes. Conch. vol. 1. 
pl. 41, f. 16) is marked for this shell in the Linnean collection, 
and “ List. 842” has been added to the synonymy in the revised 
copy. The reference to Seba must be omitted; f. 11 being 
T. oculata and f.16 T. muscaria : the former suits not the stated 
colouring ; the latter is opposed to the “indivisa, integerrima’”’ 
of the definition. 
Bectwun crewulatun. 
The quoted shell figured in Seba’s bulky folio does not bear 
any resemblance to the described features of the present species ;
