322 TRANSACTIONS OF THE WAGNER FREE 



1 84 1, really appeared before the first number of Wiegman's Archives for that 

 year. Until the claim is perfectly established, and the right of way for names 

 based on monstrosities is generally admitted, we shall heartily join with the 

 judicious author of Maravignia in regarding it as inadmissible.

This very elegant shell does not appear in the Pliocene or recent faunas, 

 as far as known. It is represented in the present fauna of the coast by F. 

 elegans Verrill, which is well distinguished frotn F. lyra by its specific 

 characters.

 beds, Dall and Willcox ; recent in the Antilles (Jamaica), Adams. 



This species was among those which were figured before being thor- 

 oughly studied, and in this way a new name was inadvertently attached to it 

 in Part I. of this paper. A careful examination and comparison with an 

 authentic specimen of Adams's species demonstrated their identity. I have no 

 doubt that Emmons's wretched figure is intended to represent this species, but 

 he did not state in his text from what locality it came. 



A remarkably large and fine species of this subgenus occurs in the older 

 Miocene of Shiloh and Jericho, New Jersey, and has been described in his
