SMITH : ON MUBEX MAXCIXELLA, LINN. 289 



Capul, Philippines (Reeve, for spectrum) ; Seychelles, Amirantes, 

 Mauritius, Bourbon (Martens). 



The ' lumping ' of this and several other species by Tryon 

 with Bnipa ochrostoma (Blainville) is too ridiculous for serious 

 consideration. 



Brupa cornus was founded by Bolten upon a fic;urc in Martini's 

 Conchylien Cabinet (vol. iii, fig. 971), wliich could not be referred 

 to the present species with any certainty had it not been accompanied 

 by the very good description given on p. 279. This is so complete 

 in every detail that we are left in no uncertainty as to the species 

 in question.
