  In 
  the 
  Proc. 
  Zool. 
  Soc, 
  1847, 
  p. 
  142, 
  Gray 
  designated 
  as 
  type 
  of 
  

   Ids 
  own 
  genus 
  Trivia, 
  Cyprcea 
  europcea. 
  Consequently 
  we 
  retain 
  

   Trivia 
  in 
  its 
  accepted 
  usage. 
  It 
  is 
  possible 
  that 
  the 
  specialist 
  will 
  

   find 
  it 
  worth 
  while 
  to 
  examine 
  this 
  article 
  carefully, 
  and 
  I 
  note 
  that 
  

   Trivia 
  carnea 
  may 
  be 
  sanguinea, 
  but 
  no 
  change 
  seems 
  necessary'in 
  the 
  

   species-names 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  Shaw. 
  I, 
  at 
  present, 
  am 
  only 
  concerned 
  

   with 
  Trivia, 
  which 
  I 
  now 
  quote 
  as 
  of 
  Broderip, 
  Fenny 
  Cyclopccdia, 
  

   vol. 
  viii, 
  June, 
  1837, 
  p. 
  256 
  [ex 
  Gray 
  MS.). 
  

  

  I 
  would 
  add 
  that 
  the 
  Natural 
  History 
  articles 
  contained 
  in 
  the 
  

   Fenny 
  Cyclopcedia 
  were 
  reprinted 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  English 
  Cyclopoidia, 
  

   edited 
  by 
  C. 
  Knight, 
  who 
  had 
  the 
  articles 
  brought 
  up 
  to 
  date. 
  In 
  

   this 
  case 
  the 
  article 
  Cypra^idse 
  appears 
  in 
  Katural 
  History, 
  vol. 
  ii, 
  

   1854, 
  coll. 
  281-9, 
  but 
  nothing 
  of 
  importance 
  is 
  appended 
  in 
  this 
  later 
  

   publication. 
  

  

  Lambis, 
  Bolten, 
  1798. 
  

  

  I 
  would 
  just 
  note 
  that 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  by 
  tautonyray, 
  

   would 
  be 
  L. 
  lamhis, 
  which 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  shell 
  known 
  

   as 
  Pterocera 
  lambis, 
  and 
  consequently 
  Lambis 
  would 
  displace 
  Fteroc£ra„ 
  

   Lamarck, 
  which 
  dates 
  from 
  1799. 
  

  

  Ddnkeria, 
  Carpenter. 
  

  

  This 
  name 
  was 
  introduced 
  as 
  a 
  sub-genus 
  of 
  Chemnitzia 
  by 
  

   Carpenter 
  in 
  the 
  Cat. 
  Mazatlan 
  Shells, 
  B.M., 
  1857, 
  p. 
  433, 
  with 
  the 
  

   diagnosis 
  " 
  Chemnitzia, 
  anfractibus 
  tumidis, 
  decussatis 
  ". 
  No 
  type 
  

   Mas 
  named 
  and 
  four 
  species 
  were 
  attached, 
  viz. 
  I), 
  paiicilirata, 
  sub- 
  

   angrdata, 
  caticellata, 
  and 
  intermedia. 
  

  

  Fischer 
  (Man. 
  Conch., 
  p. 
  790, 
  Aug. 
  31, 
  1885) 
  ranked 
  Fun/ceria 
  as 
  

   a 
  sub-genus 
  of 
  Ttirbonilla, 
  naming 
  F. 
  paiicilirata 
  as 
  example. 
  This 
  

   is 
  not 
  type 
  designation 
  according 
  to 
  tlie 
  International 
  Kules, 
  but 
  in 
  

   the 
  Proc. 
  Biol. 
  Soc. 
  Wash., 
  vol. 
  xvii, 
  Feb. 
  5, 
  1904, 
  p. 
  8, 
  Dall 
  and 
  

   Bartsch 
  definitely 
  named 
  as 
  type 
  the 
  first 
  species, 
  as 
  Fisclier 
  had 
  

   selected. 
  The 
  Ilules 
  read, 
  " 
  Such 
  designation 
  is 
  not 
  subject 
  to 
  

   change," 
  but 
  the 
  same 
  authors 
  in 
  the 
  U.S. 
  Nat. 
  Mus 
  , 
  Bull. 
  68, 
  

   Dec. 
  13, 
  1909, 
  p. 
  12, 
  gave 
  as 
  type 
  F. 
  subangulata, 
  the 
  explanation 
  

   for 
  their 
  action 
  being 
  given 
  on 
  p. 
  120 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  " 
  Doctor 
  Carpenter, 
  after 
  diagnosing 
  Funkeria 
  laminata 
  (Ann, 
  Mag. 
  

   Nat. 
  Hist., 
  1865, 
  p. 
  396), 
  writes: 
  'This 
  beautiful 
  Feuelloid 
  species 
  

   may 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  tlie 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  gi'oup 
  of 
  Funkeria.^ 
  Unfortu- 
  

   nately 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  not 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  original 
  list, 
  hence 
  cannot 
  

   serve 
  as 
  type 
  for 
  the 
  group. 
  We 
  had 
  selected 
  the 
  first 
  species, 
  

   Funkeria 
  paucilirata, 
  of 
  the 
  four 
  cited 
  b}- 
  Carpenter 
  in 
  his 
  Mazatlan 
  

   Catalogue, 
  for 
  the 
  type 
  in 
  our 
  Synopsis 
  of 
  the 
  Genera, 
  Subgenei-a, 
  and 
  

   Sections 
  of 
  the 
  Family 
  Pyramidellidae. 
  Since 
  then 
  we 
  have 
  seen 
  

   Doctor 
  Carpenter's 
  material 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  and 
  we 
  find 
  tliat 
  

   Funkeria 
  paucilirata 
  is 
  a 
  Pyrgisculus, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  second 
  species, 
  

   Funkeria 
  subangulata, 
  resembles 
  F. 
  laminata 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  sculpture, 
  

   and 
  this 
  bears 
  out 
  the 
  author's 
  intent 
  of 
  typifying 
  the 
  group. 
  

   F. 
  ca7icellata 
  must 
  be 
  removed 
  to 
  Fyrgisculiis 
  and 
  F. 
  intermedia 
  to 
  

   £valtna.^^ 
  

  

  The 
  argument 
  here 
  presented 
  is 
  not 
  valid, 
  and 
  since 
  I 
  drew 
  up
