24 SVEN LOVEN, ON THE ECHINOIDEA DESCRlBEl) BY LINN.EUS. 



^'orway, as stated in the Fn. Suec. ed. 2, 2124. The name Leu- 

 tula or Lentulus, in the pencil-notes twice substituted for 

 l^liohis, was suggested by the lenticular form of the shell. 

 Both Pholas and Lentulus wcrc abandoned and iinally merged 

 into Venus. Their transient presence in these preliuiinary 

 studies of Linn.-eus is illustrative of the gradual development 

 of his conception of the »Genus», the earlier groups, of narrow 

 eompass and arbitrarily limited, growing out into large na- 

 tural assemblages. 



BucCARDiUM, the reading of the Lectures, tlie pencil-notes 

 and the Hanley MS; the future Cardium. Eleven species, all 

 in the M. L. U. except the last: »11, Kumph. t. 44, f. N. I& 

 almost globular, pellucid, gapes; and there the margin is ser- 

 rate». The quoted figure is noted: »Buccard», and the Hanley 

 MS. has it under that genus. It became the Solen bullatus, 

 81 S. N. ed. 10, marked as dcscribed from a specimen exi- 

 stiug in the Queen's cabinet, but omitted in the ^l. L. U. of 

 1764; repeated 41, S. X. ed. 12. In the Leotures of 1772 it 

 is said, under Solen: »8, anatinus is Avanting; 9, bullatus, 10, 

 minutus, wanting.» Hanley gives the Linnean dcscription 

 taken from the Queen's specimen before it was löst. — Number 

 4 is B. verum, herc as in the Hanl. MS. the name for the 

 Cardium called muricatum in S. X, ed. 10, p. (179, but in the 

 emendanda corrected to aculeatum, whicli name was left un- 

 altered in the M. L. U., being there of older date. 



Tellina. Eight exotic species, all marked Telliua in the 

 notes, all in the ]\I. L. U. 



3>1. The Suushine, virgata, has strias transversales retrorsum imbri- 

 catas. Argenv. t. 25, f. A. Is either white with read or yellow radii 

 or yellow or blnish with whito rays. Often of a hancFs length, 

 ovate, tliat is »narrowed in the £ore part.» 



»2. Argenv. t. 25, f. /. This is smaller, has strias transversas im- 

 bricatas; is oval, that is simply obloug; at tho cardo it lias a 



Gotcnburg to Spitzbergen, aud from July 1759 to September 1760 tra- 

 velled on the coasts of Norway. »On my retuvn to Upsala I showed the 

 Archiater my collection. He enjoyed it very much, and was pleased to 

 introduce the new species of Vermes In the forthcoming edition of his 

 Fauna Suecica». Martin was afterwards for raany years a stipendiate 

 of the Academy of Sciences and died in Finland 178G. See: Simon Nord-
