  MALACOLOGICAL 
  SOCIETY. 
  

  

  which 
  at 
  one 
  time 
  formed 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  Prince 
  of 
  

   Orange. 
  He 
  also 
  mentions 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  

   collection, 
  in 
  Dutch, 
  the 
  Cape 
  of 
  Good 
  Hope 
  is 
  given 
  as 
  the 
  locality 
  

   of 
  the 
  specimens. 
  

  

  D'Orhigny 
  has 
  considered 
  Lamarck's 
  S. 
  tuhereuJata 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  

   S. 
  papillata 
  of 
  Quoy 
  & 
  Gaimard, 
  but 
  it 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  doubtful 
  whether 
  

   they 
  even 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  ?<Ame 
  genus, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  possible 
  that 
  S. 
  tuhercnlata 
  

   may 
  even 
  be 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  preceding 
  species 
  [Ifemisepius 
  ti/picus). 
  

  

  Sepia 
  ajfinis, 
  d'Orbigny,' 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  Sepia, 
  but 
  evidently 
  belongs 
  to 
  

   the 
  genus 
  Sepioteuthis, 
  aud 
  although 
  said 
  by 
  d'Orbigny 
  and 
  others 
  to 
  

   be 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  Sepioteuthis 
  sepoidea 
  (Blainville, 
  1823), 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  likely 
  

   to 
  be 
  identical 
  considering 
  the 
  remoteness 
  of 
  tlie 
  localities 
  — 
  West 
  

   Indies 
  and 
  South 
  Africa. 
  

  

  Sab. 
  — 
  Cape 
  of 
  Good 
  Hope 
  (Montfort).
