  I

  the 
  records 
  made 
  by 
  Jeffreys 
  distinct 
  from 
  those 
  of 
  

   Nassa 
  limata. 
  Dr. 
  Kobelt 
  is 
  of 
  opinion 
  that 
  the 
  two

  Dr. 
  Kobelt 
  states, 
  but 
  gives 
  no 
  reference, 
  that 
  tliere 
  is 
  a 
  prior 
  

   N. 
  pygmcea 
  of 
  Schlotheim. 
  In 
  Jeffreys' 
  MS. 
  occurs 
  the 
  following: 
  

   "In 
  the 
  Bull. 
  Mai. 
  Ital. 
  for 
  1870, 
  AVeinkauff 
  states 
  that 
  Schlotheim 
  

   had 
  anticipated 
  Lamarck 
  in 
  using 
  the 
  name 
  pygmcea 
  for 
  a 
  fossil 
  species 
  

   of 
  Nassa. 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  Schlotheim
