Passing over those genera which are either superfluous because 

 formerly rightly published under other names, or unhappily con- 

 trived, I will hint at those that may deserve to be attended to. 



MoLLUscA. Gasteropoda. Siphonobranchea. 



Lambidium, Link, 1807, I- c. iii. p. 112. 



Spire httle prominent ; aperture longitudinal, narrow ; inner lip 

 callous, with raised points ; outer lip marginated ; base truncated ; 

 shell destitute of varices or spines. 



Lambidmm oniscus {Strombus), Linn. 



This genus having been indicated in 1798, by Dr. Bolten, as Mo- 

 rum, but without definition, the botanical signification of that name 

 may have induced Link to select another, which, being correctly 

 founded, must be preferred to Oniscia of Mr. Sowerby ; or at least, 

 if we should dissect the genus with Dr. Gray, into Oniscia, Sconsia, 

 and Moncm, to the last. 



Phalium, Link, 1807, I. c. iii. p. 112. 



Spire shorter than the last whorl ; aperture longitudinal, wide ; 

 inner lip callous and smooth, or extended into a folded or granulated 

 lamina ; outer lip marginated ; shell often varicose ; base strongly 

 recurved, notched ; inner columella not folded. 



A. Lamina of the inner lip folded : Phalium cflaucum (Buccinum), 

 Linn.&c. — B. Lamina of the inner lip granulated : Phalium erinaceum 

 {Buec), Linn. &c. 



This is Bezoardica, Schum., or Cassidea, Swains. 



Cassidea, Link, 1807, I. c. iii. p. 111. 



Spire little prominent ; aperture longitudinal, narrow ; outer lip 

 marginated, like the inner one, with many folds ; shell spineless, often 

 varicose ; base strongly reflected, notched ; inner columella folded. 



Cassidea rufa, tuberosa, cornuta, testicidus, Jlummea, pennata. 



This has been proposed by Mr. Stutchbury as Cyprcecassis, but 

 must at all events retain the name of Cassis, Browne, 1756. 



Galeodea, Link, 1807, I- c. iii. p. 113. 



Spire much shorter than the last tumid whorl ; inner lip extended 

 in shape of a smooth lamina ; outer one slightly marginated ; base 

 rather elongated, reflected, not emarginate. 



Galeodea echinophora {Bucc), Linn. 



Synonyms are Morio, Montf., and Cassidaria, Lamck., both of a 

 more recent date.
