Strombus ponderosus, Philippi (Abbild. u. Beschr. neuer Conchy lien, 
i. 1) ; white, with rusty yellow longitudinal spots ; outer lip has five 
brownish vertical bands ; whorls tuberculated, upon the last a compressed 
knob : Pacific. 
Strombus Chemnitzii, Pfr., has been by Pfeiffer himself reckoned as 
identical with Str. pavifrons, Swains. (Pev. Zool. 1842, p. 26.) 
Grimaud de Caux and Gruby have described the organ which con- 
tains the purple fluid in the Mur ex brandaris. This vesicle is two 
centimeters long, one and a half centimeters broad at the base, and is 
funnel shaped. It is situate at the upper part of the body, between the 
head and liver. This is properly the cavity of the lungs, it opens 
between the margin of the mantle and the body of the animal. The 
fluid contained in it, has, at the same time, been examined by the 
microscope ; it is transparent and contains oval cells. (Comptes Rendus, 
vol. XV. p. 1007.) 
Murex Cleryi, Petit, first described in the Rev. Zool. 1840, is now 
figured in the Magas, de Zool. 1842, pi. 54. The author is now in- 
clined to consider this species as identical with Typhis Belcheri, Brod, 
M. Steinforthii ; habitat unknown. Reeve, Proc. p. 104. 
Of the genus Trichotropis, Sow., two new species, from Greenland, 
are to be found in Moller, 1. c., atlantica, Beck, and conica, Moll. 
Mangelia Holbollii, Beck, ib., testa conico fusiformi, tenera, diaphana, 
albida, Isevi, anfr. 7, convexiusculis longitudinaliter subtillissime striatis, 
ad suturam rugosis.
