316 Scientific Notices. 



No. 33. C. Pj/riformis is the C. umbilicaia of Solander, and as 

 such is mentioned in ray Index to the 3d edition of Lister's Hist. 

 Conch., see t. 667. f. 12. It is said in the Portland Catalogue, 

 Lot 255, to inhabit the Coasts of Coromandel, and till after the 

 publication of my Descriptive Catalogue, I never saw the shell. + 



No. 35. I once saw a shell which had been marked by Mr. 

 Humphreys as the C.Jlaveola of Linna;us and Solander, and I 

 believe that Mr. Gray's supposed variety of C. ziczag is the same 

 species. 



No. 36. Clandestina. Soon after the publication of my Descrip- 

 tive Catalogue I obtained a specimen of this shell, and, on again 

 referring to Solander's MS., I found that he had at first considered 

 it to be a variety ofC.ziczac, and afterwards described it separately 

 as the Linnean C. clandestina, with a reference to Petiver, t. 97. f. 10. 

 I mention this circumstance because it serves to confirm the pro- 

 priety of Mr. Gray's arrangement; but his reference to the C.nitida 

 of Solander puzzles me, and I much doubt whether any species is 

 either described or mentioned with this name among the Doctor's 

 MSS. in the Banksian Library. 



No. 39. Quadrimaculata, This rare shell, of which I never 

 saw more than one specimen, is the C. nimbosa of Solander and of 

 the Portland Catalogue, and comes from the Coast of Coromandel. 



No. 44. Tabescens. I doubt the propriety of uniting C. teres 

 with this species, and it more probably belongs to C. cylindrica. 



+ No. 33. I transcribe the following; from my copy of Solander's MS. to 

 show tliat the C. pyriformis of Gray cannot be identical with C. umbilicata of 

 Solander.

 I l»ave marked in italics those passages which prove my assertion : from the 

 consideration of this description it appears much more probable that C. Pt/rufii 

 of Gruy is identical with C. umi'i7/c«/a of Solander. G.B. S,
