part3. f. 121 ; and it lias been again copied from Lister by Klein, in the Metho¬ 
dus Ostracolog. t. 4. f. 77- 
917- 10- Murex Colus. 
— 11. Murex Babylonius. 
918. 11. a. Murex Colus. 
919. 13. Murex craticulatus. 
920. 12. Is quoted by Martini for bis Fusus filamentosus, vol. iv. p. 138 ; which in the De¬ 
scriptive Catalogue I have followed Gmelin in arranging as a variety of Murex 
Trapezium, but it is a distinet species. Perry has figured it for Murex Trape¬ 
zium; and to the Linnean Murex Trapezium he has given the name of Murex 
lineata. 
921. 14. Murex Infundibulum; and this figure has been copied from Buonanni’s Ricrea- 
tione, part 3. f. 104. 
— 14. a. Is an uncertain figure: which in the Museum Geversianum is called Buccinum 
gibber; and it is the Murex No. 235. of Schroeters Einleitung. 
922. 15. Murex aurantia of Perry; which Schroeter and Gmelin have followed Martini in 
confounding with Murex polygonus. 
924. 16. Is probably a young shell of Murex clavatulus, with the outer lip imperfectly 
formed; but is quoted by Lamarck, with a mark of doubt, for his Turbinella 
Friserialis. 
— 16. a. Appears to me to be a variety of Voluta vitulina without its customary transverse 
band. 
— l6. b. Is mentioned by Gmelin, at p. 3485, as an uncertain figure, and no other author 
besides Schroeter has noticed it: it is the Buccinum No. 79. of his Einleitung. 
925. 17. Is Murex gibbosus; and the Buccinum asperum of Gmelin, which has been 
wholly derived from the present figure, may be added to the synonyms of this 
species. 
— 18. Is probably a very young shell of Strombus Pes Pelecani, with its outer lip wholly 
unformed. 
926. 19. Klein has copied this figure in his Methodus Ostracolog. t. 3. f. 67; and the latter 
has been quoted by Linneus for his Murex clatkratus. 
— 20. Is the Murex No. 237- of Schroeters Einleitung; and I believe that the species 
has not been elsewhere described, although it is common among West Indian 
shells. 
927. 21. Is a young shell of Murex maculosus, with the outer lip imperfectly formed. 
928. 22. Murex Morio. 
929. 23. Buccinum Zebra of Lamarck: and is common among shells from the West Indies. 
— 24. Is the Murex No. 65. of Schroeter’s Einleitung; and I doubt whether the species 
has been otherwise described. 
930. 25. Quoted by Martini for a variety of Murex polygonus; and in the Portland Cata- 
logue, lot 1690, it is said to be an undescribed Murex. 
931. 26. Murex Trapezium; and it has been copied from Buonanni’s Ricreatione, part 3. 
f. 287- 
931. — The Murex Gigas of Gmelin has been entirely constituted from this figure; and I 
greatly doubt whether it is more than a half grown shell of Strombus truncatus. 
932. 27. Murex Parthenopus. 
933. 28. Is the Murex No. 242. of Schroeter’s Einleitung, and has been copied by Klein in 
his Methodus Ostracolog. t.3. f. 62. but has every appearance of a very young 
and imperfectly grown shell. 
934. 29. Murex Lotorium. 
935. 29. a. Is the Voluta Pyrum, variety C, of the Descriptive Catalogue, but is a distinet 
species, and is the Triton tuberosum of Lamarck. 
— 30. Murex reticularis. This figure, which is rather a caricature of the species, with 
some small alteration, has been copied from Buonanni’s Ricreatione, f. 193 ; and 
it has again been copied from Lister by Petiver in his Gazophylacium, t. 153. 
f. 6. 
936. 31. Lister has copied this figure from Buonannfs Ricreatione, part 3. f. 286; and it has 
been again copied by Klein in his Methodus Ostracolog. t.3. f. 63. It appears 
to be a variety of Murex Parthenopus.
