  appeared 
  in 
  tlie 
  Programm 
  Friednchs-Werderschen 
  Gymnasiiim 
  the 
  

   article 
  by 
  Laugkavel 
  alone 
  on 
  a 
  collection 
  of 
  Soutli 
  Sea 
  shells. 
  This 
  

   article 
  ran 
  into 
  35 
  pages, 
  accompanied 
  by 
  4 
  plates 
  with 
  explanation. 
  

   The 
  first 
  24 
  pages 
  are 
  exactly 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  better 
  known 
  

   " 
  Donum 
  Bismarckianum 
  ", 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  reprint 
  43 
  additional 
  

   pages 
  appear 
  instead 
  of 
  only 
  11. 
  That 
  is, 
  the 
  35 
  pages 
  of 
  the 
  

   Programm 
  have 
  in 
  the 
  " 
  Doniira 
  " 
  been 
  extended 
  to 
  67. 
  The 
  4 
  plates 
  

   are 
  the 
  same, 
  absolutely, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  only 
  copy 
  of 
  the 
  Programm 
  seen 
  

   these 
  are 
  uncoloured, 
  whereas 
  they 
  are 
  coloured 
  in 
  the 
  " 
  Donum 
  ". 
  

   All 
  the 
  figures 
  therefore 
  date 
  from 
  the 
  Programm 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  first 
  

   24 
  pages 
  ; 
  the 
  majority 
  of 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  matter 
  is, 
  of 
  course, 
  novel 
  in 
  

   the 
  "Donum 
  ". 
  This 
  note 
  is 
  here 
  interposed 
  because 
  in 
  the 
  Programm, 
  

   p. 
  23, 
  Langkavel 
  proposed 
  the 
  new 
  name 
  " 
  ColumheUa 
  {Semmella) 
  

   Peasei, 
  nobis. 
  Cythara 
  varia, 
  Pease, 
  P.Z.S., 
  1860, 
  p. 
  147. 
  Seminella, 
  

   v., 
  Pse., 
  A. 
  J. 
  C, 
  iii, 
  1867, 
  233, 
  234". 
  This 
  change 
  was 
  made 
  on 
  

   account 
  of 
  the 
  prior 
  Columbella 
  varia, 
  Sowerbj', 
  1832. 
  On 
  the 
  same 
  

   page 
  was 
  recorded 
  Columbella 
  {Seminella) 
  lacrima 
  [«/c], 
  Gaskoin, 
  

   Cythara 
  garrettii, 
  Pse., 
  being 
  given 
  as 
  synonym. 
  Figures 
  of 
  both 
  

   these 
  species 
  appear 
  on 
  pi. 
  i, 
  figs. 
  17, 
  18, 
  but 
  unfortunately 
  they 
  

   are 
  not 
  very 
  good. 
  No 
  reference 
  to 
  Columbella 
  virginea, 
  Gould, 
  was 
  

   made 
  by 
  Langkavel. 
  

  

  Tryon 
  (Man. 
  Conch., 
  vol. 
  v, 
  1883, 
  p. 
  245) 
  included 
  both 
  species 
  in 
  

   Columbella, 
  using 
  peasei 
  as 
  the 
  specific 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  former, 
  and, 
  

   apparently 
  ignorant 
  of 
  Carpenter's 
  note, 
  also 
  included 
  (p. 
  180) 
  

   Columbella 
  virginea, 
  Gould, 
  remarking 
  that 
  the 
  type 
  was 
  probably 
  

   lost. 
  It 
  seems 
  that 
  fortunately 
  such 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  case, 
  but, 
  anyhow, 
  in 
  

   the 
  British 
  Museum 
  there 
  is 
  preserved 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  virginea, 
  Gould, 
  

   received 
  direct 
  from 
  Gould 
  by 
  Cuming, 
  and 
  therefore 
  a 
  paratype 
  ; 
  this 
  

   authentic 
  specimen 
  agrees 
  exactly 
  with 
  authentic 
  specimens, 
  probably 
  

   types, 
  of 
  Pease's 
  C. 
  varia 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  collection. 
  Columbella 
  virginea 
  

   was 
  described 
  by 
  Gould 
  in 
  the 
  Proc. 
  Bost. 
  Soc. 
  Nat. 
  Hist., 
  vol. 
  vii, 
  

   Sept. 
  1860, 
  p. 
  335: 
  China 
  seas; 
  and 
  a 
  tedious 
  search 
  for 
  priority 
  is 
  

   obviated 
  by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  prior 
  Colombella 
  \_sic'\ 
  virginea, 
  

   Duclos, 
  Monogr. 
  Colomb., 
  1840, 
  pi. 
  ii, 
  figs. 
  15, 
  16. 
  At 
  present 
  

   I 
  regard 
  Seminella 
  as 
  a 
  well-marked 
  generic 
  group. 
  

  

  Apparently 
  further 
  considering 
  the 
  matter, 
  Pease, 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  Journal 
  

   (vol. 
  iv, 
  pt. 
  3, 
  Nov. 
  3, 
  1868, 
  p. 
  97), 
  correctly 
  proposed 
  '■'■Citharopsis, 
  

   nov. 
  gen. 
  Description. 
  T. 
  parva, 
  fusiformi, 
  longitudinaliter 
  costata, 
  

   nitida, 
  interdum 
  iridescente 
  ; 
  labro 
  superne 
  emarginato, 
  intus 
  lirato 
  

   aut 
  denticulato 
  ; 
  apertura 
  angusta. 
  Remarks. 
  I 
  establish 
  the 
  above 
  

   genus 
  to 
  include 
  a 
  group 
  of 
  small, 
  bright 
  shining 
  species, 
  resembling 
  

   Anachis 
  in 
  the 
  character 
  of 
  their 
  aperture 
  and 
  in 
  being 
  longitudinally 
  

   ribbed 
  or 
  partially 
  so, 
  and 
  Cithara 
  in 
  general 
  shape 
  and 
  emargination 
  

   of 
  outer 
  lip. 
  Mr. 
  Cuming 
  has 
  placed 
  one 
  species 
  with 
  the 
  Tritons 
  

   {T. 
  pusillns, 
  Pse.). 
  Mr. 
  Gaskoin 
  attached 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Columbella 
  

   lachryma 
  to 
  another; 
  Dr. 
  Carpenter 
  connects 
  them 
  with 
  Anachis, 
  and 
  

   I 
  have 
  described 
  several 
  as 
  Cithara. 
  They 
  evidently 
  belong 
  to 
  tlie 
  

   Colurabellidse 
  ". 
  Two 
  species 
  were 
  then 
  described, 
  Citharopsis 
  

   ornafa, 
  p. 
  97, 
  pi. 
  xi, 
  fig. 
  49, 
  from 
  Tahiti, 
  and 
  C. 
  gracilis, 
  p. 
  97, 
  pi. 
  xi, 
  

   fig. 
  20, 
  from 
  the 
  Paumotus.
