Q74 SPECIES OF THE SYSTEMA. j 
of the ‘Systema’ Linneus has erased the passage commencing 
with “Confer;” he had previously referred the engravings 
there mentioned to his S. succinctus. 
Strombus sucetuetus. 
The Strombus succinctus of authors is marked (Sow. Thes. 
Conch. vol. i. pl. 6, f. 20) for this species in the Linnean 
cabinet, and answers correctly to the description. The. cited 
figures are rather unsatisfactory ; although, with the exception 
of the longer-spired Strombus in Seba (plate 62, f. 20, which 
nevertheless presents its general aspect), they are usually 
admitted to be meant for this shell. 
As some doubt has existed as to the name being succinctus 
or accinctus, it is worth while to mention that the former 
appellation has been adopted in the revised copy. 
Strommbus spivosus. 
This species (Chemn. Conch. Cab. vol. xi. pl. 212, f. 3003) 
still remains in its marked receptacle in the Linnean cabinet, 
and proves, as was supposed, to be identical with the Voluta 
spinosa of Lamarck. 
Strombus fissurella, 
From the “Habitat in India Orientali” this species has 
naturally been sought for among recent shells, and an Indian 
Strombus (?) has been thus named in the Monograph of that 
genus by the younger Sowerby. Unfortunately, however, for 
the identification, that species, though closely allied, does not 
exhibit the features attributed to it in the ‘Systema.’ Both 
the figures referred to as illustrative were avowedly taken from 
fossils; Petiver, indeed, remarks also, that he had received 
a like shell (probably the St. fissurella of the ‘ Thesaurus’) from 
the East Indies, but has delineated a Lymington example.
