Fig. 
6. b. Mur ex carnarius of Chemnitz; which in the Descriptive Catalogue is arranged 
as a variety of Murex pugilinus. 
g ^ Young shells of Strombus Gigas in different stages of growth; and fig. 8. has been 
engraved from Buonanni’s Ricreatione, f.303. 
889 . 10 . The Strombus No. 18. of Schroeter’s Einleitung, and the Strombus affinis of 
Gmelin, have been constituted from this figure; and it is obviously a young shell 
with the outer lip only partially formed. 
890 . 10 . a. Is the Strombus No. 19 . of Schroeter’s Einleitung; but it has more of the ap¬ 
pearance of a Buccinum, and I am unacquainted with the shell. 
891 . 11 . A young shell of Strombus Galius. 
892 . 12. Murex Ternatanus. 
8 93 . 12. a. A young shell of Strombus lentiginosus . 
— 13. Murex eaudatus. 
894 . 14. Buccinum bulbosum. 
895 . 15. Murex calcaratus, variety D. 
896 . 16 . Is the Murex Galea of Chemnitz, vol. x. p. 237- t. 160 . f. 1518. and 1519: which 
Gmelin has erroneously quoted for a variety of Murex Hippocastanum; and the 
species has not been noticed in my Descriptive Catalogue. 
— 16 . a. I These figures together form the Murex No. 59 . of Schroeter’s Einleitung; and 
— 16 . b. j I am not acquainted with either. 
897 . 17* Appears to me to be a young shell of the Murex Ficus Maris Erythrxi of Chem¬ 
nitz, vol. xi. p. 125, and which in the Descriptive Catalogue has been erroneously 
blended with the synonyms of Murex Ficus: it has been separately arranged by 
Meuschen, in the Museum Geversianum, No. 69 s. under the name of Murici- 
formis Pyrus; and is the. Buccinum No. 76 . of Schroeter’s Einleitung, and the 
Buccinum No. 24. of Schreiber’s Conchylien. 
898 . 18. Buccinum Galea; and Lister has copied this figure from the Museum Calceolaria- 
num, p. 41. 
899 . 19 - Buccinum Dolium. 
900 . 20 . Murex Brandaris. 
901 . 21 . Murex cornutus. 
902 . 22 . Murex Tribulus. 
903 . 23. Murex Haustellum; and this figure is an exact copy from Buonanni’s Ricreatione, 
part 3. f. 268 . 
904 . 24. Murex Melongena. 
905 . 24. a. Was considered by Dr. Solander to be a variety of Murex Melongena. 
906 . 25. Murex Scorpio. 
— 26 . Strombus Sloanii of Leach’s Zoological Miscellany; and it is probably nothing 
more than a lusus of Strombus Pugilis. 
907 . 27 . A young shell of Murex perversus. 
9 0 8 . 28. Murex perversus. 
910 . 1 . Is generally considered to be a variety of Murex Tulipa , but is arranged separately 
by Lamarck, with the name of Fasciolaria distans; and it differs in having the 
canal at the base shorter, and in the want of an indented margin at the suture. 
911 . 2 . Murex Tulipa; and this figure has been borrowed from Buonanni’s Ricreatione, 
part 3. f. 187- 
912 . 3. A young shell of Murex Tulipa. 
913 . 4 . Murex antiquus; and is taken from the Historia Animalium Anglise, t. 3. f. 1 . 
— 5 . Murex corneus. This as well as the preceding figure was first published, with the 
whirls reversed, in the Historia Animalium Anglise, t. 3. f. 4; and it has from 
thence been engraved for Buonanni’s Ricreatione, part 3. f. 53. so as to invert the 
figure, and give the whirls their more natural direction. Klein’s t. 3. f. 68 . has 
been copied from the present figure. 
914 . 6 . Is the Murex No. 234. of Schroeter’s Einleitung; and no other author has noticed 
this figure, which is obviously taken from a dilapidated shell. 
7. Murex Pusio. 
915. 8 . Murex tornatus. 
916 . 9 . Strombus Unicornis. Lister has copied this figure from Buonanni’s Ricreatione,
