 " Proceedings of the Committee of Science of the Zoological 

 Society^" to which we shall refer^ by the initials Z. P. 



The list here given of the species of the Genus Cancel- 

 laria will be found to be much more copious than that in 

 Lam. Hist. nat. des Anim. sans vert, where only nine 

 species that really belong to the Genus are given^* eight of 

 these are in this list^ and to these I have added one in my 

 work on the Genera of Recent and Fossil Shells, two in the 

 Catalogue of the Tankerville Collection, and sixteen in the 

 present Conchological Illustrations : the remaining twenty- 

 one have been discovered by Mr, Cuming, and are figured 

 from his collection.

* Lamarck's C. senticosa, C. citharella and C. zlervogeliana do 

 not belong to this genus ; the first is a Phoa, the second an Oniscia, 

 and the last a Mitra. His C. scalariforrais is entirely nnknown to me.
