201 MESSRS. A. S. KENNARD AND B. B. WOODWARD ON THE 



" Testacea Sveciae, si Tibi supersint mecum communicare precor, quse 

 seqnuntur mihi nondum obvia. 



Mya lutraria. Helix albella. Nerita littoralis. 



margaritifera. comphinata. lacustris." 



Bulla hypnorum. spirorbis. 



Turbo perversus. arbustorum. 



rnuscorum. fragilis. 



limosa. 



Beneath the address on the outside of the letter when folded, and in the 

 left-hand lower corner, was written : — 



" avec un paquet 

 marque C. de L." 



An identical memorandum also occurs in the same position on another 

 letter dated 21 May, 1773. 



Another of Midler's letters, dated 4 Martii, 1768, begins : — 



" Litteris tuis etsi & verbis & re satisferi, mittendo Tibi Stirpes, 

 testacea ac dissertationes quasdam Italicas, adjecta prece ut 

 mihi de his sententiam Tuam quam primum diceses, jam tamen 

 per trimestre & quod excurrit sollicitus & incertus maneo." 



Thus it is evident that Miiller sent molluscan specimens to Linne, but his 

 request for information and specimens in return to help him in his work met 

 no response as he complains in his Verm. Hist. (Tom. ii. p. 161). 



Our next discovery was that the numbers on the little packets containing 

 shells in the Linnean collection that are alluded to by Hanley seemed in- 

 dubitably to be in M tiller's handwriting. The list of these is as follows : — 



" N. 14 ^ 



minima [-containing 2 CarycJiium minimum, Mull, 



cavend. reper.'J 

 " N. 18 ) ,, 1 Polita radiatula, Alder, and 



citrina p**** > 1 Zonitoides nitidus (Miill.).

1 P. Draparnaldi (Beck).
