BUCCINUM.
The species which compose this group in the 'Museum' were originally separated under many generic designations.
1. Buccinum. Testa ovata, ventricosa. Apertura integra, semilunaris, superne extrorsum, postice introrsum.
2. Cassida. Testa ovata, gibba. Cauda reflexa oblique. Apertura longitudinalis, obliqua.
3. Lyra. Testa ovata, ventricosa. Apertura ovata, patens, pone submarginata. Labium interius nullum. Columella compressa, nitida.
4. Turricula. (No definition: evidently intended for all the turreted shells.)
5. Morion. Testa oblonga, inermis. Apertura oblonga, labio interiore reflexo unidentato.
In the first were located the Dolia, and B. echinophorum; in the second the Cassides, with B. papillosum and arcularia; in the third the Harpæ and Purpuræ; in the fourth the Terebræ; in the fifth B. glans, spiratum, glabratum.
B. undosum was located in Murex.
B. perdix. B. umbilicatum subsulcatum, basi recta.
The proposed name was B. pennatum, adopted from Rumphius: "lunari-patula" was not in the manuscript.
B. pomum. B. exumbilicatum, labio utroque dentato.
"Barr. Ic. t. 1325. f. 12" (cited in the 'Systema'), and "Klein, 95. Semicassis, striata, costosa", were the additional synonyms of the manuscript: "s. sulcata", "nullum, interne", "at vero in adultioribus accrescit planum album", were subsequent emendations.
B. dolium. B. emarginatum subsulcatum rugosum, labio exteriore reflexo dentato.
The Dolium fimbriatum, or, as Deshayes prefers it, D. Minjac (the Malay name was Bia Minjac in Rumphius, who preceded Adanson), was assuredly the shell described in the 'Museum', as the recorded dentation of the outer lip clearly manifests. An excellent figure of it in Petiver ("Gaz. t. 99. f. 11") was cited in the original copy, where the drawing of Gualtieri was not referred to.
B. echinophorum. B. (changed to Cassida) tuberibus ("quaterna serie" interpolated) nodosum.
The reference to Rumphius was correctly written 1, not I, in the original, where "albido-flavescens" was the indicated colouring. The printed emendations were "quadruplici s. quintuplici", instead of "triplici", and the entire account of the aperture, which at first ran simply as follows, "Labium exterius crassius, margine tenuiore, interne subrugosum, obsolete dentatum."
B. tuberosum. B. tuberibus gemina serie nodosum.
The entire published account of this species had been interpolated by Linnæus in the written copy, with the exception of the "color pallidus." The "nodis anterioribus" was a misprint for "nodis acutioribus."
Gualtieri's admirable figure of the Cassis tuberosa of authors was not, however, cited, which confirms my statement that the species of the 'Museum' was not the Cassis usually so designated.
B. cornutum. Cas. acuminibus antice cingentibus, superficic reticulata.
The I in the reference to Rumphius was a misprint for the written 1: "maculata" was originally "maculis griseis."
B. rufum. Cas. nodis sparsis.
"Pyri" was a misprint for the written "pugni". Neither the "maculis fuscis" nor the "Variat tota albo colore" were originally present. The Rumphian name rubra was the one written.
B. flammeum. Cas. longitudinaliter striata, antice subnodosa.
To the solitary synonym our author had added "List. t. 1004. f. 69" and "Sloan. Hist. 2. p. 242. n. 2". The final remark was not in the copy.
B. testiculus. Cas. lævis, striis longitudinalibus, sulcis transversalibus.
"Vix ullus" was at first "nullus": "læve" was not present.
B. decussatum. Cas. lævis, striis decussatis, labio exteriore dentato.
"Bonan. Clas. 3. t. 157" was an additional synonym.
B. areola. Cas. glabra, spira papillosa.
The erroneous references to Gualtieri, and to the figure 2 of Rumphius, were not present in the original, nor was there any allusion made to the sculpture of the inner lip.
B. erinaceus. Cas. subsulcata, antice nodosa, labio edentulo, postice extrorsum denticulato.
The entire account of this Cassis was interpolated by Linnæus in the pages of his amanuensis.
B. glaucum. Cas. glabra, antice muricata, labio dentato, postice extrorsum denticulato.
The superfluous A in the reference to Gualtieri was a misprint: "inferne" was "interne": the "acuminata" and "marginatum" were emendations.
B. vibex. Cas. glabra, labio edentulo, postice extrorsum denticulato.
The figures 8 and 9 of Rumphius were not cited.
B. papillosum. Cas. papillis decussatis, labio tenui, extus denticulato, fauce glabra.
"Rectum" followed "exterius" in the written copy, wherein "s. albidus" and "antice sinu excavata" were not to be found.
B. glans. Morion labio exteriore denticulato, interiore bidentato.
"Labium exterius margine postico denticulato" was omitted in printing.
B. arcularia. Cas. longitudinaliter sulcata, labio exteriore tenui, interiore maximo.
B. costatum. Lyra costis longitudinalibus, antice prominulis, alternis obsoletis.
This diagnosis but ill suits the Many-ridged Harp, which, of late, has been considered identical.
B. harpa. Lyra costis longitudinalibus antice mucronatis.
The shell is described in the MS. as "striata subtilissime longitudinaliter", and "Pet. Amb. t. 2. f. 2", "Pet. Gaz. t. 48. f. 13" (the latter quoted also in the 'Systema') are there substituted for the reference to Gualtieri. The printed additions are considerable; to wit, "costæ vero striis transversis", "anfractibus costis mucronatis", "denticulatum."
B. Persicum. Lyra læviuscula, labii margine crenulato.
The erroneous citation of Grew (t. 9. f. 5, 6) in the 'Systema' had been adopted in the manuscript.
B. patulum. Lyra muricata spinis obtusis.
Neither the erroneous reference to Gualtieri, plate 51. f. A (which was designed for Purpura hæmastoma), nor the "color interne rufescens", is to be found in the manuscript.
B. smaragdulus. Lyra glaberrima, columella denticulata.
Neither the erroneous reference to d'Argenville, nor the specific name derived from his figure, is to be found in the MS. The proposed appellation was L. vitrea. "Simillima Cassid, lapillo, sed glabra, et columella crenata" is the unprinted remark.
B. spiratum. Morion umbilicatus, anfractibus distinctis canaliculo.
The specified colouring was "alba, maculis longitudinalibus fuscis"; "pone bifidum" followed "integrum." The intended name was M. canaliculatus.
B. glabratum. Morion umbilico descendente flexuoso.
d'Arg. Conch t. 12. f. G.
"Testa oblonga, acuminata, obtusiuscula, glaberrima, anfractibus confluentibus, Neritarum maximarum pondere. Color albo-flavescens, nitidus. Apertura obliqua, profunde emarginata. Labium exterius integerrimum. Labium interius antice reflexum adnatum, dein solutum brevius flexuosum, descendens ad basin. Sulcus profundus distinguit basin testæ. Umbilicus pone labium interius descendens ad basin sulco".
B. virgineum. I can find no account of this shell in the written copy.
B. undosum. The nearest approach to this species seems the variety B. of the Murex succinctus (the shell so named in the 'Mantissa').
M. lævis, sulcis transversis lævibus, angulo marginali.
d'Arg. Conch. t. 12. f. N. Bon. 3. f. 47.
Testa ovata, absque tuberculis magnitudine nucis, exarata sulcis transversis pallidis, eminentibus vero lineis luteis. Spira obtusa, anfractibus rotundatis. Cauda teretiuscula. Apertura ovata, margine crasso, nec alia costa laterali crassa.
Var. B. Rugis s. angulis obliteratis 5 longitudinalibus.
B. maculatum. Turricula elongata, anfractibus lævibus integerrimis.
The l. of Gualtieri, and the reference to d'Argenville, were printed emendations.
B. crenulatum. Turric. elongata, anfractibus margine crenatis.
The reference to Gualtieri was an emendation.
B. strigilatum. Turric. elongata, oblique striata.
B. duplicatum. Turric. elongata emarginata, anfractibus bipartitis striatis.
