been written in the revised ‘Systema’ after the passage “‘ in-

Turbo nuivricatis. 
The Littorina muricata of authors (Born, Test. Mus. Vind. 
pl. 12, f. 15, 16) remains in the marked receptacle of this shell 
in the Linnean cabinet. A single fair delineation of the in- 
tended species, which harmonised with the exact, yet meagre 
description, having been alone referred to, rendered the identi- 
fication both early and easy. 
Curhbo ctyvex. 
As too frequently is the case, this little species, which ap- 
peared originally with a single and consistent reference, was 
rendered ambiguous by the additional synonymy of the twelfth 
edition. The figure of Adanson must consequently be rejected, 
since it represents a different shell from the cited Rissoa de- 
lineated by Gualtier. Our author having indicated his posses- 
sion of the Turbo cimex, search was made in his cabinet, for the 
Shell generally regarded by Montagu and the English con- 
chologists as the veritable species of Linneus. This was not 
to be discovered, but a large parcel of the Rissoa calathiscus 
(Philippi, Moll. Sicil. vol. i. p. 125; R. granulata, vol. i. p. 153) 
was found enveloped in a leaf torn from some Swedish book, 
and as these shells perfectly answer to the description, and 
none other in the collection correspond with the definitions, no 
reasonable doubt can be entertained of their typical authority. 
Moreover, Mérch, in one of his critical catalogues (Yoldi) has 
suggested the probability of this synonym.

Notwithstanding that the absence of synonyms and of de- 
seriptive detail would seem to render the identification of this
