63. The Monographs of Kiener, in his " Coquilles Vivantes," are generally- 

 executed with great care, and are extremely valuable for the identification of 

 species. The writer does not fall into the common error of minute division of 

 species: on the other hand, he sometimes unites what will be almost universally 

 considered as distinct. His judgment is not always correct on small shells, as 

 when he thinks that Cerithium trilineatum of Phil, ought without doubt to 

 be considered as a dextral variety of C. perversum. For the identification 

 of the Lamarckian species, his work is extremely valuable. But on points 

 connected with geographical distribution, the following list will show that, 

 unconfirmed, it cannot be regarded as an authority. The " California " of 

 French authors, as of English, generally applies to the W. Mexican fauna. 

 Unfortunately, there are no dates, by which questions of the priority of 

 nomenclature may be decided.
