  Volema, 
  Bolten, 
  type 
  V. 
  paradisiaca, 
  Bolten, 
  has 
  priority 
  over 
  Melongena, 
  

  

  Schumacher, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  used 
  independently. 
  

   Mayena, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  proposed 
  for 
  Biplex 
  mistralasia, 
  Perry. 
  

   Turricula, 
  Schumacher, 
  is 
  the 
  correct 
  name 
  for 
  SurctUa, 
  H. 
  & 
  A. 
  Adams. 
  

   Gelagna, 
  Schaufuss, 
  is 
  equal 
  to 
  and 
  antedates 
  Paralagena, 
  Dall. 
  

   Parhilida, 
  Schaufuss, 
  should 
  replace 
  Spiralinella, 
  Chaster. 
  

   Campanile, 
  Fischer, 
  has 
  for 
  type 
  the 
  recent

   Lam. 
  

   Pleurotonioides, 
  Bronn, 
  has 
  priority 
  over 
  Lora, 
  Gistel, 
  and 
  Clathurella, 
  

   Carpenter, 
  all 
  proposed 
  as 
  alternatives 
  for 
  Defrancia, 
  Millet, 
  preoccupied. 
  

   Gabrielona, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  proposed 
  tov 
  Phasianellancpeanensis, 
  GatliffA 
  Gabriel. 
  

   Orbitestella, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  for 
  Cyclostrema 
  bastmvi, 
  Gatliff. 
  

   Megathura, 
  Pilsbry, 
  should 
  be 
  used 
  instead 
  of 
  Macrochasma, 
  Dall. 
  

   Mitromorpha, 
  auctt., 
  is 
  not 
  Mitromorpha, 
  Carpenter, 
  which 
  was 
  based 
  on 
  

   Daphnclla 
  (?) 
  filosa, 
  Carpenter. 
  

   Antimitra, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  is 
  proposed 
  for 
  Pleurotoma 
  cegrota, 
  Reeve, 
  with 
  which 
  

  

  A. 
  Adams' 
  Mitromorpiha 
  lirata 
  is 
  congeneric. 
  

   Lovellona, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  type 
  Conus 
  atramentosus, 
  Reeve. 
  

   Apaturris,

  Mitramorpha 
  expeditionis, 
  Oliver. 
  

   Callanaitis, 
  gen. 
  nov., 
  type 
  Venus 
  yatei, 
  Gray, 
  for 
  Salacia, 
  Jukes-Browne, 
  

  

  preoccupied. 
  

   Anopsia, 
  Gistel, 
  is 
  available 
  for 
  Psyche, 
  Rang, 
  preoccupied, 
  and 
  has 
  priority 
  

   over 
  Verrillopsyche, 
  Cossmann, 
  proposed 
  for 
  Halopsyche, 
  Kieferstein, 
  

   preoccupied, 
  introduced 
  as 
  substitute 
  for 
  Rang's 
  name. 
  

   Hydromyles, 
  Gistel, 
  should 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  Euribia, 
  Rang, 
  preoccupied, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  

   older 
  than 
  Kieferstein's 
  name 
  Theceurybia, 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  genus. 
  

  

  Once 
  again 
  I 
  offer 
  solutions 
  of 
  some 
  nomenclatural 
  problems 
  for 
  

   the 
  purpose 
  of 
  criticism, 
  the 
  majority 
  of 
  those 
  which 
  do 
  not 
  invite 
  

   consideration 
  being 
  withheld. 
  I 
  acknowledge 
  once 
  more 
  such 
  criticism 
  

   from 
  Dr. 
  Dall 
  and 
  M. 
  Cossmann, 
  but 
  I 
  must 
  complain 
  of 
  each 
  of 
  these 
  

   writers 
  demurring 
  against 
  my 
  non-acceptance 
  of 
  vernacular 
  names. 
  

   Each 
  indicates 
  that 
  my 
  rejection 
  of 
  French 
  vernacular 
  names, 
  

   i.e. 
  "Les 
  Phaco'ides 
  " 
  and 
  " 
  Les 
  Suberaarginules 
  ", 
  is 
  an 
  instance 
  of 
  

   hypercriticism, 
  and 
  that 
  I 
  am 
  wasting 
  time 
  on 
  matters 
  not 
  worth 
  

   questioning. 
  I 
  have 
  often 
  gone 
  over 
  the 
  International 
  Ihiles, 
  and 
  

   have 
  been 
  unable 
  to 
  find 
  any 
  item 
  whereby 
  French 
  vernacular 
  generic 
  

   names 
  are 
  legalized, 
  and 
  so 
  must 
  continue 
  to 
  reject 
  sucli 
  whenever 
  

   they 
  have 
  been 
  wrongly 
  used, 
  notwithstanding 
  the 
  adverse 
  criticism 
  

   of 
  my 
  two 
  famous 
  friends. 
  

  

  I 
  would 
  recall 
  that 
  Dall 
  himself 
  wrote 
  (Trans. 
  Wagner 
  Free 
  Inst. 
  

   Science, 
  Philad., 
  vol. 
  iii, 
  pt. 
  ii, 
  Dec. 
  1892, 
  p. 
  306), 
  " 
  Deshayes 
  cites 
  

   ' 
  Tenagode 
  ' 
  simply, 
  and 
  such 
  a 
  trivial 
  name 
  in 
  the 
  vernacular 
  has 
  no 
  

   just 
  claim 
  to 
  recognition^ 
  I 
  therefore 
  quote 
  that 
  Blainville 
  wrote 
  

   "Les 
  C. 
  Chenilles, 
  Les 
  B. 
  Nassoides, 
  Les 
  11. 
  Buccinoides, 
  Les
