The erroneous figure of d'Argenville was not referred to; and the
32, Q (as in the 'Systema'), not 34, A, of Rumphius was quoted as
illustrative. The final remark had been interpolated by Linnæus.
C. STRIATUS. _C._ ovato-oblongus gibbus nebulosus, striis tenuissimis
parallelis fuscis.
The "Cæterum testa minus ante convoluta est," is a press addition. "Pet.
Gaz. t. 98. f. 9." was correctly cited.
C. TEXTILE. _C._ pictus venis reticulatis luteis, maculis luteis
fuscisque.
The intended name (_C. drador_) was an amusing specimen of conchological
Latin: it was of course borrowed from d'Argenville's appellation of
"_Drap d'or_." "Columella ad postica quasi replicata est" was added in
the printing; the "luteo" was originally "albo"; the "subconica" was
"anfractibus subconicis"; and there was no mention of a variety.
C. AULICUS. _C._ pictus venis reticulatis fasciisque longitudinalibus
interruptis fuscis.
"Columella postice replicata est," and the objectionable "obovato-sub,"
were not in the copy. No figures were cited in the original catalogue.
C. SPECTRUM. _C._ cærulescens, flavo-nebulosus, punctis striisque
alboluteis.
The original description did not comprise those characteristics which
are so much at variance with the essentials of the _C. spectrum_ of
authors. The following passages were omitted: "gibba, minus arcte
convoluta" (this replaced "conica"), "Columella postice striata et
replicata. Intus testa sub-cærulescens," "mucrone cingulis granulato."
