OF SUBAPENNINE SHELLS. 29 
Page 257. PATELLA sINUOSA. 
This is the type of Bronn’s genus Brocchia. The specimens in 
the collection clearly show that they belong to Capulus hunyaricus, 
Linné, and that they had been originally attached to a species of 
Cassidaria (echinophora or tyrrhena) and had thus taken the impres- 
sion of the ribs which ornament the latter species. The spire and 
apex are precisely the same as in C. hungaricus; and although the 
minute sculpture of that species is indistinct, sufficient traces of it 
remain on some of the fossil specimens. Similar cases of moulding 
occur in Anonua ephippium (as is implied by its specific name), Calyp- 
trea chinensis, and other quasi-parasitic shells. Several other species 
of Brocchia have been made by modern paleontologists out of C. 
hungaricus in consequence of their having been attached during 
their lifetime to various shells which had a different kind of sculp- 
ture. Professor Biondi described and figured as many as twelve 
species in his ‘ Monografia del genere Brocchia, 1864. 
P. 258. PATELLA coRNUCOPIA. 
A conical variety or form of Capulus hungaricus. 
P. 262. DENTALIUM SEXANGULUM. 
A variety of Stphodentalium tetragonwm, Bre. 
P, 264. DENTALIUM COARCTATUM. 
A testaceous Annelid. 
P. 277. Butta convoLvura. 
A poor and worn specimen of Cyiwchna umbilicata, Montagu, and 
not C. cylindracea, Pennant, with which Brocchi’s description and 
figure evidently agree. Possibly replaced by a specimen not from 
the collection. 
P. 297. NuRITA HELICINA. 
Small specimens of Nateca catena, DaCosta. | 
P. 304. Hetrx niripa. 
Not Hulima mitida, Philippi (Z. wntermedia, Cantraine), but larger, 
thicker, and more convex. 
P. 305. Hrrx suBULATA. 
One specimen shows the coloured bands. Brocchi does not seem 
to have known Donovan’s work on British shells, in which the same 
name had been previously taken for this species of Hulima. 
P. 319. VoLuUTA BUCCINEA. 
Includes Ringicula auriculata of Ménard and R&R. ventricosa of J. 
Sowerby. : 
P. 339. BuccrinuM ASPERULUM. 
Nassa werassata, Muller.
