STROMBUS. Q73 
Strombus eptromts. 
The Strombus epidromis of authors (Reeve, Conch. Icon. 
Stromb. pl. 19, f. 54) is marked for this species in the Linnean 
cabinet, and a figure of it in Lister (853) has been added to 
the synonymy in the revised copy of the ‘Systema.’ The 
references to Seba and Rumphius are correct; but Barrelier 
has delineated S. gibberulus at 1327 (misprinted 1727), f. 2, 
a shell whose lip suits not the “labro rotundato” of the 
diagnosis. 
Judging from the expressions “Color testaceus, fasciis 
linearibus albis testaceo articulatis,” and “ utroque labio sub- 
striato,” the S. epidromis of the ‘Museum Ulrice’ was not 
identical. 
Strombus Canarian. 
The Strombus Canarium of authors (Sowerby, Thes. Conch. 
vol. i. pl. 8, f. 69, 70) is marked for this species in the Linnean 
cabinet, and a figure of it in Lister (‘‘t. 853, f. 9”) has been 
added to the references in the revised copy of the ‘ Systema.’ 
The synonymy is mostly correct, but figures 24, 25 of the 
cited plate of Seba, and the t of the quoted engraving of 
Gualtier, represent the very closely allied congener S. Isabella. 
Linneus had proposed to change “ pinguis” to “saginata” 
and to append “gibba” as a characteristic. The description 
in the ‘Museum Ulrice’ duly harmonises with the features of 
the shell. 
Strombus vtttatus. 
The Strombus vittatus of authors is marked (Sow. Thes. 
Conch. vol. i. pl. 6, f. 29) for this shell in the Linnean cabinet. 
From the harmony of the cited delineations, naturalists re- 
cognised the species at an early period. In his revised copy
