56 THE NAUTILUS. 
antes beaucoup plus saillantes 
et moins nombreuses; il n’y ex- 
iste non plus ancune trace des 
sillons transverses ondulés qui 
ornent d’une maniere tres-car- 
actéristique cette partie du test 
chez le Ch. Meneghinii, ainsi 
que chez le Rissoi. L’assimi- 
lation qu’ a faite Monterosato 
du Meneghinii au Rissoi dans 
sa monographie des Chiton de 
la Méditerranée parait déja 
un peu forcée, mais pour ce qui 
concerne votre coquille, elle 
me paraitrait tout 4 fait in- 
admissible.” (Dautz., in litt.) 
Not having seen an authentic 
specimen of Meneghinii, I now 
prefer to make this a variety 
of the latter, although I am 
reasonably certain it will 
eventually be considered as a 
distinct species. I have much 
pleasure in associating with it 
the name of M. Dautzenberg, 
the well known writer on 
marine shells.
