Venus lyra Hanley. 

 Hanley, P.Z.S., 1844, p. 161. 



S. Thome, valves only; Principe and Angola (Nobre); Gulf of 

 Guinea (Mus. Cuming). 



Antigona venetiana (Lam.). 



Venus rudis Poli, Test. Sicil., 11., p. 94, f. 15, 16(1795). 

 Cytherea venetiana Lamarck, Anim. Sans Vert, v., p. 569 (18 18). 



S. Thome, valves only ; Cape Verdes (Talisman) ; Canaries 

 (McAndrew) ; St. Helena (Smith) ; Madeira, very abundant (Watson); 

 Bay of Biscay to Mediterranean and Black Sea (Watson). 



We cannot accept Poll's name as binomial. 



Venerupis irus (L.). 

 Donax irus Linne, Syst. Nat., ed. x., p. 683 (1758). 



S. Thome, rare ; Cansado (Dautzenberg); Canaries (McAndrew) ; 

 Madeira, abundant (Watson) ; Mogador (Watson) ; Britain to Medi- 

 terranean ; Black Sea (Dautzenberg). 



Ungulina alba Dunker (ex Rang ms.). 

 Rang in Dunker, Index Moll. Guin., p. 56, pi. viii., f. 17 — 19 (1853). 

 S. Thome, rare ; widely distributed on the W. African coast from 

 Senegal to Loanda. 



Gari castrensis (Spengler). 

 Solen castrensis Spengler, Skriv. Naturhist. Selsk., iii., pi. -2, p. no 



(1794)- 



S. Thome, rare; Guinea (Spengler) ; Lagos (Brit. Mus.). 



Spengler's original locality was Guinea ; Reeve gave it from Sor- 

 sogon, Isle of Luzon instead, but his fig. 32 does not appear to 

 represent the true castrensis at all, and is probably a young G. oriens 

 Desh., of which the adult is figured on pi. i. The latter is the 

 eastern analogue of G. castrensis Sp., and Reeve's Philippine locality 

 mentioned above should be transferred to it. It was originally 

 described from Japan. 



Sanguinolaria vitrea Desh. 

 Deshayes, P.Z.S., 1854, p. 326. 



S. Thome, rare ; S. Thomas (Brit. Mus.). 



This species was described without locality. The British Museum 

 has examples labelled " S. Thomas " — presumably the West Indian 

 island.
