Cox ^) has recently discussed the question of the rejection of the names of the g-enus 

 Spondylus as introduced in Schreiber's "Versuch einer vollstândigen Conchylienkenntniss nach 

 Linne's System (1793)"', and I agrée that this work should not be allowed to upset the accepted 

 nomenclature of the vvell established names. 



In addition to the species of Spondylus recorded or described in the following pages there 

 were a few young spécimens in the "Siboga" collection which could not be identified with certainty.
