172 PROCEKDINGS OF THK MAI.ACOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



There is no pagination to the pages, hut conchology occupies about 

 twenty-live pages, and this is succeeded by an article entitled 

 "Conchology, arranged on the amended system". Therein the 

 families are indicated with succinct diagnostic sentences ; then the 

 genera are also shortly described, Avliilst species belonging to each 

 genus are named. In the present instance the matter reads thus : — 



" TuEBiNACiD^. Pillar without plaits — shell conic or elongated; 

 aperture roundish or oblong, never expanded, with the lips either 

 united or separated. 



'^ Tornus. Shell orbicular, depressed; aperture oval or roundish ; 

 pillar none. Operculum horny. 



" Includes I/elix subcarinata.^' 



It will at once be observed that this is word for word the matter 

 quoted by Jeffreys, and we can now assume that the " Enumeration " 

 was identical with the conchology included in the Guide. So far 

 I have not seen a copy of the " Enumeration ", but under the present 

 circumstances this does not matter much. It is seen that Jeffreys 

 gives the date of the " Enumeration " as 1829 ; the Guide is undated, 

 but ^Ir. Sherborn kindly made inquiries, with the result that 1830 

 can be safely taken as date of publication ; this suggests that Turton's 

 anonymous " Enumeration " was probably printed first. The inevitable 

 conclusion is that 



ToRNus, Turton & Kingston, 1830, 



must replace Adeorbis, Searles Wood, 1842. 



I carefully studied all the names given in this work, as no 

 suggestion of novelty is attached to any, with the result that one 

 other new introduction was noted. In this case, however, no change 

 is necessary. 



Haminea is generallv quoted as of the Proc. Zool. Soc, 1847 

 (November, 1847), but I had noted that it appeared earlier in the 

 Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. xx, p. 268, October 1, 1847, where it was 

 spelt as Hainincea. I now trace it back to 1830, as this is included, 

 thus: '■'■ Hamincea. Shell thin, somewhat globular, without spire; 

 aperture narrow, as long as the shell. Includes Bulla Jiydatis.'''' 

 We must therefore quote 



Hamincea, Turton & Kingston, 1830. 



I have now acquired an interesting copy of this work, which shows 

 that the natural history portion was also published separately. 

 The title-page and contents are exactly as in the complete work, 

 but no reference to the principal title-page, of which this is " Part II ", 

 is given. It is in the original cloth covers as published, and on the 

 outside cover exactly the same wording with the exception of the 

 words " Part II " is printed. Down the back, however, appears 

 the following wording : "Guide | to the | Watering | Places. | Vol. II | 

 The 1 Natural | History 1 of the | District | 1830. | " 



This is again important, as we have here definite evidence of the 

 date which was previously missing. There is no connexion here 

 given with Carrington's Guide, so that such a copy would be easily 

 quoted as " The Natural History of the District, by W. Turton and
