  Dillwyn,

  Index 
  Hist. 
  Conch. 
  List.,

  gives 
  

   a 
  note 
  identifying 
  List., 
  667, 
  fig. 
  12, 
  thus: 
  "This 
  sliell 
  has 
  been 
  

   arranged 
  as 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  CyprcBa 
  Fyrum^ 
  and 
  as 
  a 
  separate 
  species 
  in 
  

   Solander's 
  MS. 
  with 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Cyprmi 
  umhilicata; 
  it 
  lias 
  the 
  teeth 
  

   of 
  a 
  saffron 
  colour,

  in

  This 
  

   quotation 
  validates 
  Cyprcea 
  umhilicata 
  as 
  of 
  Dillwyn, 
  1823, 
  and 
  

   invalidates 
  Cyprcea 
  umhilicata 
  of 
  Sowerby, 
  1825. 
  llecently 
  Verco 
  

   has 
  given 
  a 
  good 
  history 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  species, 
  and 
  now 
  his 
  varietal 
  

   name 
  arme^iiaca 
  will 
  become 
  the 
  species-name, 
  while 
  the 
  typical 
  

   form 
  will 
  need 
  renomination. 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  draw 
  attention 
  to 
  tliis 
  

   matter 
  I 
  propose 
  to 
  rename
