There has been a certain amount of confusion in référence to Venus reticulata of 

 LiNNAEUs, and authors like Wood and Lamarck hâve described or figured other species under 

 this name. I adopt Reeve's figure 34 in "Conch. Icon." as that of the typical reticulata, and 

 this agrées fairly well with Lister's and Gualtieri's figures. Tiie species has been described in 

 détail in Cox's récent memoir cited above. 



I also agrée with Mr. J. R. le B. Tomlin that Venus mojtolifera Sowerby ^) from the 

 Island of Mindoro, PhiHppines is a synonym of this species. 



Distribution : — A. retictilata is a wide-spread Indo-Pacific species. A detailed list of its 

 records was pubhshed by Lynge. 



In the "Siboga" collections the species is represented from the Anchorage off Seba, 

 Savu (St. 58), Pulu Sebangkatan, Bornéo Bank (St. 81), Muaras Reef, east coast of Bornéo 

 (St. 91), Anchorage off Beo, Karakelang Islands (St. 131), Anchorage off Kampong Kelang, 

 south coast of Manipa Island (St. 184), Anchorage off Kilsuin, west coast of Kur Island (St. 250) 

 and Buka or Cyrus Bay, south coast of Rotti Island (St. 299).
