par Al. de Humboldt et A. Bonpland ; Paris, 1833," will be found the 

 " Mollusques, decrites par A. Valenciennes," pp. 217-339. Several of the 

 shells are from the East Indies; and of those assigned to Acapuleo, many 

 appear to have crossed the Pacific by the agency of man. The list of Aca- 

 puleo shells* however, as it appears, is as follows : — 



Fig. 



2a,b. Tellina petatum,Va\. Acapuleo. Almost exactly like T. solidula. 



3a,b,c,4. Donax radiata, Val. Pacific shores of equatorial America. 

 This appears to be either D. punctatostriatus, Hani, var., or 

 D. Conradi, Desh., probably the latter; but the description 

 is not sufficiently accurate to claim priority. 



la,b,c. Venus succincta, Val. Acapuleo. Probably = Anomalocardia 

 subimbricata, Sow. or V. neglecta, Gray. 

 Anodonta glauca, Val. Acapuleo. Appears exactly to accord 

 with Anodon ciconia, Gould, except that it is said to be white 

 within. Perhaps described from a single specimen. 



55 la,b. Bulimus undatus, Lam. Mexico. = Orthalicus zebra, Mull. 



56 la, b. Bulimics Mexicanus, Lam. Mexico. The shell described in B. M. 

 Maz. Cat. p. 177- no. 234, may be the young of this species. 



Haliotis Californiana, Val. California. 



Turbo pellis-serpentis, [quasi] Val. Acapuleo. =.Tegula p., Mawe. 



Nerita textilis, Linn., Lam. Acapuleo.

having fewer ribs, and granulations on the lip. Lat. "83. 

 Turritella gonostoma, Val. Acapuleo, [Jun.]. 

 Turritella leucostoma, Val. Acapuleo. 

 Cerithium musica, Val. Acapuleo. Described from one sp. long. 



1'25 : said to resemble C.literatum,Br\ig. (not Born and Gualt.). 

 Cerithium granosum, Val. Acapuleo. Probably a Cerithidea. 

 Cerithium stercus -muse arum, Val.* Acapuleo. 

 Cerithium frag arid, Val.* " One sp. fished at Acapuleo," plaited 



like Fasciolaria, resembles C. lima, long. 1' + . C omp. Vertagus 



gemmatus, Hds. jun. 

 i Cerithium varicosum, [quasi] Val. Probably Cerithidea varicosa,

 Conus regius, Brug. & Lain. Acapuleo. =C. princeps, Linn. 

 Conus lineolatus, Val. Acapuleo. Like the last. 

 Conus cinctus, Val. Acapuleo. Like C. hycena. 

 Conus scalaris, Val. Acapuleo. The recent analogue of C. de- 



perditus, Lam.

 Italian fossil, <S. millegranunl" 



i Solarium bicanaliculatum. Val. Acapuleo.

 but probably a distinct species, as it is described " callo sub- 

 divino."

* These species are not noticed by Sow. jun. in his recent Monograph. His "C. granosum, 

 Kien." is an Australian species, like C. corallium ; and his " C. musicum, nob." is like C. vul-ga- 

 tum, but from the Cape de Verd Islands.
