I am inclined to consider this identical with, and a synonym of 

 Vn'tmjn* tfn'ii/osH*, Linn., hut retain it here on account of some lin- 

 -erin<: doubts about it.

The synonymy, including varietal names is enormous. I do not 

 think the species varies more than is usual in the -vnus, and I am 

 not disposed to recognize the so-called varieties as having any real 

 claim to separation from the type ; however, a> they are admitted by 

 some European naturalist.- of the "modern school" I figure a num. 

 her of them. 



Locard identifies this species with Strombus tuberetUatus^ Linn.: 



to this may be added, among other names C. wbnodotum, Adams 

 from a worn and somewhat aberrant form. ( '. .!/'<//////// /*.
