WiNCKWORTH ') in his carefully drawn up notes has cleared up the very confused synonymy 

 of the gênera and subgenera of the family Limidae. As he has pointed out, Mantelhim Roding 

 is an absolute synonym of Lima Cuvier. 



The name Mantellum as adopted by Morch and the Adams is quite distinct, and Winckworth 

 by a very judicious sélection of Lima inflata (Gmelin) as the type for Limaria Link ") has made 

 this name available for Mantellum of thèse authors. 



In addition to the subgenera Lima s.s.^ with Lima lima (Linn.) as type, and Limaria 

 Link, there are in the "Siboga" collection représentatives of the subgenera Acesta H. & A. 

 Adams''^) — • type Lima [Acesta) excavata (Fab.) and Limatîtla S. Wood — type Lima [Limatula) 

 siLÔauriculata (Montagu).

3) I hâve foUowed Thiele in considering Callolima Bartsch as a synonym of Acesta H. & A. Adams, but am not quite certain 

 whether this is correct. The material at my disposai, hovvever, is not suiïïcient to décide this question definitely.
