cinnamonea Menke 1828. Menke Synopsis 
76. 
This form is of cinnamon brown color with 
irregular longitudinal zones of darker brown. 
fenestrata Roding 1798. Mus. Boltenianum 
34. 
This form, based by Roding on Figure 502 of 
Martini, is distinguished from the form cincta 
by the addition of horizontal lines which cross 
the vertical lines to create a trellis of quad- 
rangular meshes. Vanatta (1915), instead of 
using the reference to Martini for the form 
fenestrata, substituted that of Tryon (1883, pi. 
23, fig. 23), which represents an individual of 
the form cincta. 
macleaya Duclos 1835. Monogr. Oliva, pi. 
21, figs. 13-16. 
This form is gray or yellowish gray covered 
with lines and inconspicuous compact dots 
sometimes broken by two unbroken transverse 
bands. 
rump hi Dautzenberg 1927. J. Conchyl. 71: 
66 . 
This form is based on the figure of Rumpf 
(1705, p. 119, pi. 39, fig. 4). It is ornamented 
with lines and black spots arranged in the axial 
plane of the shell. 
sepulchuralis Lamarck 1811. Ann. Mus. Hist. 
Nat. 16:312. 
The comments of Dautzenberg (1927), trans- 
lated from the French, regarding this form may 
be of interest. "The name sepulturalis has 
been borrowed by Lamarck from the old litera- 
ture. Rumpf (1705) explains that it means 
sepulchurae or prinsegraaffnis (funeral of a 
prince). These olive-like shells are ornamented 
with spots and black lines arranged in a man- 
ner to represent a theory of persons dressed in 
grand fashion and following the funeral. How- 
ever, Lamarck has cited as being his O. sepul- 
turalis fig. 1, of pi. 365 of the Encyclopedia, 
on which the pattern is arranged in transverse 
bands and not longitudinal, as in the figure of 
Rumpf, while it is the variety b which agrees 
with the figure. The name sepulchuralis should 
therefore be reserved for the form with the 
transverse bands, and we propose for the form 
with longitudinal swatches the name of rump hi

Hist., 4th series, 2:213; Thes. Conchyl., p. 
16, pi. 13, %s. 182, 183. 
Tomlin (1953) stated: "There are two syn- 
types in the Liverpool Museum labelled from 
China. Original of fig. 182, 25 mm. X 12 mm.; 
shell of fig. 183, 26 mm. X mm. These are 
very young shells of Oliva vidua (Roding).’’ 
Oliva cana Marrat 1871. Thes. Conchyl., p. 15, 
pi. 11, fig. 152. 
Tomlin (1953) stated that the holotype is in 
the Liverpool Museum from New Guinea, 37 
mm. X 15 mm. It is a poor example of O. 
vidua. 
Oliva reticulata (Roding 1798). Mus. Bol- 
tenianum, p. 33, sp. 396. 
Generations of authors have assigned this 
species to O. sanguinolenta Lamarck 1811 
(Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. 16:316: Anim. sans 
Vert. 7:426). In a discussion of references 
this name must be used. The references of 
Roding are: 396.10. Porphyria reticulata, Die 
Netz-dattel. Gmel. V, Oliva sp. 17 ; Martini 2. 
t. 48, f. 512, 533. 9 St. 
V oluta oliva var. x was established by Gme- 
lin (1791) first on Plate 739, Figure 28 of 
Lister (1685-92), which is probably an O. 
reticulata of light coloration; second, on Figure 
3 of Plate 39 of Rumpf (1705), which is cer- 
tainly an O. sericea (Roding); and third, on 
Figures 512 and 513 of Martini (1773), which 
represent typical O. reticidata. Johnson (1928: 
11) assumed the role of first reviser and selected 
the name O. reticulata (Roding) for this species 
on the basis that both Roding and Lamarck 
used the same figures of Martini. Johnson here 
abandoned the use of the name variegata 
(Roding). Earlier Johnson (1910:67) had sug- 
gested that the name Porphyria variegata Rod- 
ing be accepted for this species. Roding’s refer- 
ences for this species are: Mus. Boltenianum, 
p. 33, sp. 393, 8. P. variegata, Die schackigte 
Dattel. Gmel. V oluta sp. 17, 3; Martini 2, t. 45, 
f. 478, 479. 24 St. This species was based by 
Roding (1798) on the variety of V oluta oliva 
of Gmelin (1791) which includes, first, an 
O. vidua (Roding) of the form sepulturalis,
