  The 
  most 
  casual 
  glance 
  will 
  compel 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  accepting 
  

   the 
  Dumeril 
  names 
  in 
  preference 
  to 
  these 
  of 
  Froriep, 
  as 
  otherwise 
  

   confusion 
  would 
  be 
  rampant. 
  

  

  IVochiarhis 
  might 
  displace 
  Gihhula, 
  Risso, 
  1826.

  The 
  above 
  seem 
  apparent 
  at 
  first 
  siglit, 
  but 
  then 
  we 
  might 
  get 
  

   further 
  complications 
  regarding 
  the 
  usage 
  of 
  sucli 
  names 
  as 
  Conarnis, 
  

   Ci/praarius, 
  Piirpurarius, 
  Terebrarius, 
  Venusan'ns, 
  where 
  the 
  type 
  

   species 
  are 
  not 
  yet 
  definitely 
  fixed. 
  

  

  Further, 
  the 
  connexion 
  between 
  Neritarius 
  in 
  tlie 
  Index 
  and 
  the 
  

   vernacular 
  in 
  the 
  text, 
  a 
  parallel 
  case 
  to 
  P/6'?<ro^o?Hn'r/»s 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  

   edition, 
  would 
  make 
  that 
  name 
  tall 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  group 
  now 
  called 
  

   Theodoxis, 
  Montfort, 
  1810 
  {^JVen'thia, 
  Lamarck, 
  1822).
