NO. 17 LAMARCK S GENERA OF SHELLS— KENNARD ET AL. 3 



genus founded by Groye, but later on (p. i8o) is guilty of the prac- 

 tice when founding Velntina. 



Children, of course, did not revive these passed-over names, nor was 

 he careful when selecting a type to see that the species so selected was 

 one of those included in the genus when that was originally described, 

 a point now considered indispensable. To all such items attention is 

 here called by notes in the detailed list that follows, as well as to cases 

 in which the generic name was preoccupied or preceded by another, 

 without, however, thereby necessarily advocating the adoption of such. 



Much kind assistance has been given us by various friends to whom 

 we would hereby tend our grateful acknowledgements. More especi- 

 ally to Dr. C. Davies Sherborn with his indispensable " Index ", and 

 to Dr. L. F. Spath for valuable help with regard to the fossil Cepha- 

 lopoda, as well as to IMr. J. R. leB. Tomlin and Mr. R. Winckworth 

 for valuable suggestions ; while the Royal, Linnean, and Geological 

 Societies rendered important aid by the special loan of books.
