Tab. Fig. 
937. 32. Murex Olearium; and tlie figure has been copied from Buonanni’s Ricreatione, 
part3. f. 105. 
938. 33. Buccinum undosum. 
939. 34. Has been generally arranged as a variety of Murex Gyrinus, but is perfectly dis¬ 
tinet ; and differs in being longer in proportion to the breadth, as well as nearly 
tvvice as large. It is the Biplex elegans of Perry, and the Ranella granifera 
of Lamarck. 
— 34. a. Murex undatus. 
940. 36. Murex clandestinus ; and Kleiifs t. 3. f. 6l. is a copy. 
941. 37. Murex Femorale. 
942. 38. Murex cutaceus. 
943 . 39. Murex Scrobilator. 
944. 39. a. Murex Pomum. 
945. 40 . Murex saxatilis. 
946. 41. This figure is an inverted copy from Buonanni’s Ricreatione, part 3. f. 276; and is 
the variety of Murex ramosus to which Lamarck has given the name of Murex 
palmarosa. 
947. 42. Murex Trunculus. 
948. 43. Gmelin has followed some other authors in quoting it for Murex Lotorium, but it 
is rather an uncertain figure. 
949. 44. Murex spinosus. 
950. 44. b. Is the Murex contrarius of Sowerby: and Lister says, that the shell vvas sent to 
him by Dr. Dale “ ab ora maritima prope Harwichand it is figured by Dale, 
in his History of Harwich, among the fossils of that neighbourhood. The Murex 
contrarius of Linneus is a variety of Murex antiquus, which differs only in hav- 
ing the whirls reversed; and the fossil species, though very nearly allied, is pro- 
bably distinet. 
— 44. c. The foregoing remarks apply equally to this figure; which is generally consi- 
dered to be a variety of the fossil Murex contrarius of Sowerby, but it ap- 
proaches more nearly to a reversed shell of Murex subantiquatus. 
952. 1. Murex Trunculus, with the animal; and Lister has copied this figure from Co¬ 
lumna de Purpura, p. 13. 
953. 2. Murex virgatus. 
— 3. Is the Murex No. 68. of Schroeters Einleitung; and the figure has been copied by 
Petiver in his Gazophylacium, t. 118. f. 13. 
954. 4. Quoted by Martini for his Morum album, vol. iii. p. 278. t. 101. f. 970. which Gme¬ 
lin has confounded with Murex Mancinella; and it is the Ricinula Morus of 
Lamarck. 
— 5. Buccinum armillatum. 
955. 6. Probably belongs to the variety of Murex Ricinus with a violet mouth ; which is 
the Hystrix amethystinum of Calonne’s Catalogue, p. 31. 
95 6. 7. Is the Murex Morum majus Guineense of Martini, vol. iii. p. 272. t. 100. f. 963. 
which Gmelin has arranged as a variety of Murex Mancinella; and it has every 
appearance of being a distinet species. 
— 8. Generally quoted for Murex Mancinella, but is a badly exeeuted figure. 
957. 9- Murex Mancinella. 
— 10. A variety of Murex Nodus. 
958. 11. Quoted by Born and others for Murex lacerus, but is very far from a good figure. 
Klein’s t. 3. f. 58. is a copy. 
— 11. b. The Buccinum tuberculatum of Gmelin has been wholly constitnted from this 
figure; and I am unacquainted with the species. 
959. 12. Murex Tritonis. 
960. 13. Is the Triton nodi/erum of Lamarck ; which in the Descriptive Catalogue has been 
confounded with Murex Nerei: and it differs in wanting the decussated striae, and 
in having two strong transverse plaits at the upper end of the pillar lip. 
962. 14. Buccinum undatum. This figure has been copied either from the Historia Anima¬ 
lium Anglise, t. 3. f. 2. or from Buonannfs Ricreatione, part 3. f. I89: and the 
shell is represented in the former work with the whirls reversed, which error 
Buonanni in his engraving has corrected.
