 f'll. .T^^A^. Utoo. p. lit is not a synonym of C. magna C Claus; MflLi.EH writes witli regard 

 to the description given li\ .1' I'Vi : ..eher pal.U sic zu Conchoecia lophura G. W. MtlLi.EH". 

 The same writer, in his synoptic work of \UV2. jmts this species ofCll. .Ii llA^ 'S as a synonym of 

 ('. lophura. but adds a (piery. It can be considered beyond doubt that C. magna Ch. Juday 

 is not a svnonvm of C. magna C Cl-ALS. Certainly its identity with C. lophura seems to me 

 far from impossible, but it is so uncertain that it did not seem to me proper to include the name 

 in question in the list of synonyms given above. 



To judge from Fowler's description it seems very probable that G. H. Fo\\'LEH's 

 „/,(»/)// «rfl-stage" of C. hyalophyllum is identical with C. lophura; see p. 565 above.

Shell: — The specimens investigated by me were from 2,4 to 2,7 mm. long. The 

 sculpture varied to some extent, sometimes resembling the type reproduced by G. W. Mt!LLER 

 for C. lophura and exceedingly difficult to observe. The selvage, the glands along the posterior 

 margin of the shell and the hinge were of the types described above for C. lophura. In othej' 

 respects it agreed with 6. W. Muller's statement.
