  KoEoviNA, 
  gen. 
  riov. 
  for 
  Vatiikoro 
  tvallacei, 
  Iredale. 
  

   "When 
  I 
  named 
  Vcmikoro 
  wallacei 
  in 
  these 
  Proceedings 
  from 
  the 
  

   Kei'madecs 
  I 
  commented 
  upon 
  the 
  opercular 
  characters, 
  which 
  

   disagreed 
  with 
  those 
  given 
  for 
  the 
  genus 
  Vamkoro 
  by 
  H. 
  & 
  A. 
  Adams. 
  

   Mr. 
  Hedley 
  informs 
  me 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  a 
  note 
  upon 
  the 
  invalidity 
  of 
  

   VaniJcoro, 
  with 
  whicli 
  I 
  agree, 
  so 
  I 
  now 
  propose 
  Korovina 
  for 
  my 
  

   Kerraadec 
  species. 
  

  

  FoRSKALENA, 
  gen. 
  uov. 
  for 
  Irochus 
  fcmulum, 
  Gmelin. 
  

  

  H, 
  & 
  A. 
  Adams 
  introduced 
  Forshalia 
  in 
  the 
  Gen. 
  llec. 
  Moll., 
  vol. 
  i, 
  

   p. 
  432, 
  June, 
  1854, 
  for 
  Trochus 
  declivis, 
  Forskid, 
  /(mulimi, 
  Giiiel., 
  etc. 
  

   The 
  previous 
  year 
  that 
  name 
  had 
  been 
  given 
  by 
  Kolliker 
  (Die 
  

   Schwimmpolypen. 
  von 
  Messina, 
  1853, 
  p. 
  2) 
  to 
  a 
  Coelenterate. 
  

  

  I 
  perpetuate 
  the 
  dedication 
  by 
  alteration 
  to 
  Fors/calena, 
  the 
  second- 
  

   named 
  species 
  being 
  designated 
  as 
  type. 
  I 
  conclude 
  Forskal 
  was 
  

   not 
  a 
  binomial 
  writer, 
  so 
  that 
  his 
  species 
  names 
  cannot 
  be 
  legitimately 
  

   used 
  ; 
  since 
  his 
  work 
  was 
  published 
  after 
  liis 
  death, 
  the 
  names 
  

   selected 
  may 
  have 
  simply 
  been 
  preliminary 
  latinized 
  descriptive 
  

   terms. 
  

  

  Enigmonia, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  for 
  Anomia 
  rosea, 
  Gray. 
  

  

  As 
  a 
  rare 
  and 
  peculiar 
  North 
  Australian 
  mollusc, 
  Enigma 
  

   cenigmatica 
  (Chemn.) 
  has 
  been 
  cited. 
  The 
  correct 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  shell 
  

   proves 
  as 
  perplexing 
  as 
  this 
  combination 
  reads, 
  since 
  it 
  seems 
  neither 
  

   generic 
  nor 
  trivial 
  name 
  can 
  be 
  maintained. 
  Enigma 
  is 
  credited 
  to 
  

   Koch, 
  1846, 
  the 
  quotation 
  (incomplete) 
  referring 
  to 
  Martini 
  & 
  Cliemn., 
  

   Cont., 
  lief. 
  56, 
  band 
  vii. 
  I 
  have 
  been 
  unable 
  to 
  trace 
  this. 
  My 
  

   earliest 
  reference 
  is 
  to 
  the 
  quotation 
  by 
  Gray 
  in 
  the 
  Proc. 
  Zool. 
  Soc. 
  

   Lond., 
  1849, 
  p. 
  114, 
  as 
  a 
  M8. 
  name 
  in 
  the 
  cabinet 
  of 
  ]\Ir. 
  Cuming. 
  

   It 
  was 
  probably 
  so 
  published 
  at 
  the 
  earlier 
  date. 
  However, 
  in 
  

   April, 
  1836, 
  E. 
  Js'ewman 
  had 
  published 
  .^?«?'^mrt 
  in 
  the 
  Entom. 
  Mag., 
  

   ser. 
  Ill, 
  vol. 
  V, 
  p. 
  499, 
  for 
  a 
  beetle. 
  

  

  Tellina 
  csnigmatica, 
  Chemnitz, 
  cannot 
  be 
  used 
  because 
  that 
  author 
  

   was 
  non-binomial, 
  and 
  according 
  to 
  Sherborn's 
  Index 
  Animalium 
  

   that 
  name 
  was 
  not 
  binomially 
  used 
  before 
  1800. 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  it 
  

   legitimately 
  employed 
  until 
  1837, 
  while 
  in 
  Thomson's 
  Amials 
  of 
  

   Philosophy, 
  n.s., 
  vol. 
  ix, 
  Peb. 
  1825, 
  p. 
  139, 
  Gray 
  had 
  introduced 
  

   Anomia 
  rosea 
  for 
  the 
  species 
  figured 
  by 
  Chemnitz, 
  vol. 
  x, 
  pi. 
  199, 
  

   figs. 
  1949-50. 
  Gray's 
  type 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  Amyclina, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  for 
  Buccimim 
  corniculum, 
  Olivi. 
  

   Some 
  years 
  ago 
  I 
  pointed 
  out 
  that 
  Amycla, 
  H. 
  &, 
  A. 
  Adams, 
  was 
  

   invalid, 
  and, 
  since 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  no 
  rectification 
  in 
  the 
  meantime, 
  

   I 
  propose 
  the 
  new 
  genus 
  Amyclina 
  for 
  Buccitmm 
  corniculiwi, 
  Olivi. 
  

   Pyreneola, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  for 
  Columbella 
  alyssicola, 
  Brazier. 
  

   I 
  have 
  already 
  noted 
  the 
  distinctness 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  without 
  naming 
  

   it, 
  so 
  here 
  provide 
  the 
  above 
  name, 
  because 
  the 
  group 
  is 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   known, 
  and 
  I 
  cannot 
  as 
  yet 
  publish 
  the 
  full 
  account. 
  

  

  Caporbis, 
  Bartsch. 
  

   Bartsch, 
  in 
  an 
  essay 
  on 
  South 
  African 
  Marine 
  Molluscs 
  (Bull. 
  U.S. 
  

   Nat. 
  Mus., 
  No. 
  91, 
  1915), 
  introduced 
  the 
  name 
  Caporbis 
  (p. 
  170) 
  in
