LIST OF MARINE SHELLS COLLECTED IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 
OF ADEN BETWEEN 1892 AND 1901. 
By Commander E, R. Sxoprayp. 
Read 14th March, 1902. 
Tue shells enumerated in the following list were, with the seven 
exceptions noted, collected within a radius of six miles from Steamer 
Point, Aden, chiefly on the shores of the Inner Harbour, by dredging 
in from three to eleven fathoms in and south of the harbour, and from 
the coral brought in from Little Aden for making lime. 
All the species marked with an asterisk (*) have been described 
from types now in the British Museum (Natural History).' 
In compiling the list it has been considered advisable to follow 
a well-known work rather than attempt the almost hopeless task of 
adjusting the nomenclature to the latest standards. This list has 
therefore been drawn up in accordance with the ‘ Catalog der 
Conchylien-Sammlung von F. Paetel.”
