introduced his species Conus mtilepuMtatus, he cited as illustrative “Martini,. 
Conch. 2 , t. 60, t*. 666” and “Martini, Conch. 2, t. 60, f. 667,” the former being* 
his “var. b,” the latter “var. e.” These are apparently conspecific, and had 
been given systematic names by Bolten (Mus. Bolten, ii, p. 41, 1798) long before. 
Bolten had also (p. 47) introduced Cucullus mill epu net at us for a different 
species of Cone, so it is doubly necessary to make use of Bolten ’s earlier name 
for the accepted millcpu uctatus Lam. The name to be used is par d us, as Cucullus 
pardus takes precedence over Cucullus leopardus > the former given to Martini’s 
f. 667, the latter to f. 666. 
Conus vermiculatus Lam. 
This well-known species does not appear in Iledley’s list, as it was 
regarded as merely a variety of ebrnus Linne. T found it at the Kermadecs, 
but 1 did not receive it from Lord Howe Island, where ebroeus was very common, 
until recently, when it came as a rare shell and was easily distinguishable. 
1 found it at Michaelmas Cay along with ebraus , when it was easily seen to be 
a distinct species, the shape, size, and markings differing. The oldest name 
for the species is ckaldccus, as Bolten had introduced Cucullus chaldmts (p. 42. 
1798) for Martini, 2, t. 63, f. 699-700, the same figures as were later quoted by 
Lamarck for his species. It may be pointed out that this correction was made 
as long ago as 1852 (Moreh, Cat. Conch., Yoldi, p. 66) but has been ignored. 
Terebra pygmaea Hinds. 
A curious little shell was described by Hinds under this name (Proc. 
Zool. Soc. (Loud.) 1843, p. 158, 1844: from Straits of Malacca 17 F.), and 
though it was figured twice (Thes. Conch., i, p. 184, pi. xiv, f. 112, 1844; Reeve, 
Conch. Icon., vol. xii, pi. xxvii, sp. and f. 149, June I860) the generic location 
was so peculiar that it was no wonder that it was redescribed as TurbonUla ? 
prince ps Preston (Journ. Malar., vol. xii, p. 7, pi. ii, f. 33, April 7, 1905) from 
Ceylon. The recognition of this species from Michaelmas Cay provides the 
opportunity to give it a genus name, Terenolla. 
This genus does not appear to belong even to the family Terebridiv, to 
which must be added some more species for Queensland, but it is difficult to 
determine t lie generic names to be used, A specific case is worthy of note, as 
Terebra tigrina (tmelin lias been used for a shell which I collected at Michaelmas 
Cay, and was not on the list. Upon referring back l found that Gmelin (Syst. 
Nat., pt. vi, pp. 3475 and 3502, 1791) had used the name Buccinum tig r mum 
twice, and the reference to the Terebra was the second one, which was of course 
unavailable. The error had been corrected by Dillwyn (De.scr. Cat., p. 644, 1817) 
more than a century ago, who had provided />. felinum, yet no worker had taken 
cognisance of the correction. The species would apparently fall into Dali’s 
genus Oxymens , but a careful study is necessary to fix the genera in this family, 
previous attempts having used mechanical features only for this purpose with 
somewhat disastrous results. 
Another species to be added under Orgmcris is Terebra mbulosa Sowerbv 
(Tankerville Cat. App., p. xxv, 1824: no locality). 
Under the genus Per crime Dali there can be added two species: Terebra 
cingulif era Lamarck, Hist. Anim. s. Vert., vol. vii, p. 289, August 1822, habitat 
unknown; Terebra :• monile Quov & Guimard, Voy. de l’Astrol., Zool., vol. ii. 
p. 467, 1833, locality unknown but probably Marianes or Carolines.
