XXXIV. — Notes on Dr. Philippi's Zoological Notices in the 

 preceding Article. By J. E. Gray, Esq. 



Pileopsis Garnoti, Payraudeau. 



In Dr. Philippi's account of the animal of this shell, (No. 22. 

 p. 90,) he does not appear to be aware that I established a ge- 

 nus for it under the name of Gadinia in the Philosophical Ma- 

 gazine for April 1824, where I showed the difference between 

 it and Siphonaria. It certainly is not Acmcea of Esschholtz, 

 which is synonymous with my genus Lottia (Phil. Trans. 1833) 

 and Quoy and Gaymard's Patelloides. 



Mr. G. Sowerby, in consequence of some confusion, has in 

 the Proceedings of the Zoological Society described two or 

 three other species of the genus Gadinia under the name of 

 Mouretia, erroneously considering it as my name for the ge- 

 nus, so that the synonyma of this genus will run thus : — 



Gadinia, Gray, 1824, from Gadin of Adanson. 



Mouretia, Sower by, not Gray. 



Clypeus, Scacchi. 



Patella, Philippi. 



Pileopsis, Payraudeau. 



Pandorina, p. 296. 



This shell has been long described, although many authors, 

 in common with Sr. Scacchi and M, Philippi, have considered 

 it as a new species. On comparing a Neapolitan specimen which 

 I have received under Scacchi's name, it appears to have the 

 following synonyma : — 



1. MyaNitida, O. Fab. Naturforscher, iv. 44. t. 10. f. 10. 



2. Mya Norvegica, Chemnitz, x. f. 1647. 48. Turton, Syst. Nat. 

 iv. 170. Turton, Diet. f. 100. 



3. Anatina truncata. Lam. Hist, not Sow. 



4. Amphidesma corbuloides, Zawi. Hist. 

 Osteodesma corbuloides, Deshayes. 



5. Mya striata, Montagu, Linn. Trans, xi. t. 13. f. 1. Turton, 

 Diet. f. 99. 



Lyonsia striata, Turton, Bivalves, t. 3. f. 67. 

 Magdala striata, Brown, Brit. Shells, t. 11. f. 2. 

 Myatella , Brown, Man. 



6. Mya pellucida, Brown, Wern. Trans, t. 24. f. 1.
