Trophon mcerc/aV, Malm, = demersUj Tiberi, has no operculum, and

Norway and in the Mediterranean. Jeffreys, Ann. N. II. (4) v. p. 447.

BuCCINIDiE. 
Buccinum tinei, Maravigna, belongs to Nassa, and is perhaps only a variety 
of N. cornicidum (Olivi). Benoit Sc Aradas, Bull. mal. Ital. iii. p. 5G. Wein- 
kauff, on the contrary, admits it as a distinct species of the true genus Buc- 
cinum, allied to humphreysianum, ibid. p. 79.

Nassa reticulata (L.), its varieties in the North Sea and Mediterranean, 
including cancdlata, Chemnitz, tesstdata^ Olivi, and nitida, Jeffreys, are 
discussed by E. v. Martens, Mal. Bl. xvii. pp. 8G-88. Friedel is also inclined to 
reunite nitida, Jeffr., with retiadata, ibid. p. 76. 
Nassa incrassata (Miill.), var. saxatilis (Chiereghini, MSS.), shortly charac- 
terized and N. pygmma (Lam.) changed to yramduta (llenier) [!] by Bru- 
sina, Chieregh. Conch, pp. 139 and 137. 
Nassa gibbusida (L.), its occurrence in some parts of the Mediterranean 
defended. [The Becorder received it many years ago as found on the shore of 
Smyrna by Prof. Fleischer.] — N, semistriata (Brocchi) is admitted as a distinct 
recent species in the Mediterranean, and the name Npygmcea (Lam.) changed 
to varicosa (Turt.), because the former is preoccupied. Weinkauff^ Bull, 
mal. Ital. iii. pp. 77, 78.

Olivid^e. 
Oliva. Sowerby begins with part xxix. of his ^Thesaurus Con- 
chyliorum ^ the monograpli of this genus, publishing in fourteen 
plates (328-341 of the whole work) beautiful figures of about 
90 species ; the figures are of the natural size. This part contains 
no other letterpress than the explanation of the figures.
