7. Lucina exasperata Reeve, Conch. Icon. Aug. 1850. L.tigerina 



Lam. var. 3. 

 Several large specimens of this species, now in the Mus. Amh., 

 were said to have been collected by the Eev. Henry Lyman, in 

 the East Indies, on his way to Borneo, where he was killed by 

 the savages. If Lamarck's statements of habitat were more 

 reliable, we might suppose, therefore, as his L. tigerina is said 

 to inhabit "I'ocean Indien et Americain," that this was his East 

 Indian type. But Mr. Eeeve quotes Dyson as an original col- 

 lector of the shell in Honduras. ^ 



8. Lucina funiculata Reeve, Conch. Icon. 1850. 

 Habitat. — "Honduras; Dyson!" Reeve. 



• Frofeseor Hovcy'e collections were made chiefly in St. Croix and Antigua.
