Voluta cymhium (JJixm.') — papillatiim (Schumacher) = (auctt., nec

from the Linnnean collection, that Cymhium porchmm^ auctt., is the real type 
of Valuta cymhium, Linn., and that V. alia, Linn., is probably Cymhium 
neptuni. The locality ‘‘ in mari Iherico,''' on which Kobelt insists for his 
identification, is taken from Buonanni (Recr. tab. 6), quoted by Linnaeus, and 
should not have the same weight as the indication of localities for which 
Linnaeus cites no preceding author.]
