THE NAUTILUS. 



names iintroduced in the work, there is little original for its 

 time, or of interest now ; but a notice of the generic names is in 

 order. A few of the new names are merely variations of the 

 spelling of well-known older names, some perhaps changed in- 

 advertently, others being feminine forms of originally masculine 

 names. Reichenbach appeared to favor Venus, as Montfort 

 favored Mars. I note the following ; the names which they 

 presumably equal are supplied in brackets. 



Lithotornus Cuv. ; p. 88 [Lithodomus] . 

 PadoUia Montf. ; p. 91 [Padollus] . 

 Ricinella Lam.; pp. 92 138 [Ricinida]. 

 Melampa Drap. ; p. 93 [Melampus~\ . 



Scarabaea Montf.; p. 93 [Scarabus]. Also p. 152, where 

 S. imbrium is mentioned as typical. 



Another series of names, for which no authorities are given, 

 and which are therefore to be credited to Reichenbach, are de- 

 fined by references to vernacular names in Montfort, or are sub- 

 stitutes for earlier generic names. All of the following except 

 the last are evidently considered to be subgenera or other subdi- 

 visions of Murex L. 



Lathiria (les lathires Montf.); p. 91 [Latirus Montf.]. 



Brontesia (Brontes Montf.); p. 91 [Brontes Montf.]. 



Typhlia (les Typhlis Montf.); p. 91 [Typhis Montf.]. 



dchorax (les Chicoraces Montf.); p. 91 [Chicoreus Montf.]. 



Aquilla (les Aquilles Montf.); p. 91 \_Aquillus Montf.]. 



Trophones (les Trophones Montf.); p. 91 [Trophon Montf.]. 



Appollia (les Apolles Montf.); p. 91. [Apollon Montf.]. 



Chondrina R. (Chondrus Cuv. non Lamx.); p. 93. 



The Zweites Bandchen was published in 1836. The author 

 notes the delay on p. 272. The pagination is continuous with 

 the first volume. The system is developed, with some descrip- 

 tion of the genera and one or more species mentioned. 



On p. 152 the name Chondrina is defined (as a subgenus 

 or subordinate group of Helix) with the words: " mit eiformiger 

 Schale — H. avenacea, Hafer Sch." Avenacea was one of the 

 species of Cuvier's Chondrus (for which Chondrina was pro- 

 posed as a substitute). As it is the only species cited under
