of the species now under consideration. They compare the genus 

 with Actceon, which, according to them, the shells of Bullina greatly 

 resemble. Their figures show the spire more or less raised ; and 

 they mention that the species are from Japan, Ceylon, and Aus- 

 tralia. Woodward, in his ' Manual,' gives Bullina of Ferussac as a 

 synonym of Aplustrum, Schumacher, which was founded on the 

 well-known Bulla aplustre of Linne'. Bullina of Risso (1826) is 

 the same as Cijliclina of Love'n, and ought to take precedence of 

 the latter name ; its type was Bulla cylindracea of Pennant. I 

 have two more undescribed species of Cnjptaxis from the ' Porcu- 

 piue ' Expedition.
