Dall and Stewart hâve discussed at length the reasons against and for accepting the 

 generic name Gari of Schumacher. I agrée with Stewart in adopting Gari in préférence to 

 the later name Psammodia Lamarck. The génotype is Gari vulgaris Schumacher = ? Tellina 

 gari Linn., but as this form cannot be identified with any certainty, the name must remain a 

 nomen dubitim^ and I agrée with Bucquoy, Dautzenberg and Dollfus and Stewart that the 

 valves figured by Schumacher as Gari vulgaris represent Tellina fervensis Gmelin. 



The subgenera represented in the "Siboga" collection are Gari s. s., — type Gari 

 fervensis (Gmelin), Gobraeus Leach ^) — type Gari {Goôraeus) vespertinus Gmelin, and Gramma- 

 tomya Dall ^) — type Gari {Grammatotnyd) squamosa (Lam.).
