M. haustellum. M. caudatus, subinermis, nodosus.
"Suturis" was originally "costis". The printed emendations are "gibbis, adglutinatis", "costati et nodosi", "subtus rima longitudinali clausa", "margine", and the final remark.
M. tribulus. M. caudatus spinis subulatis trifariis.
"Olear. Mus. t. 39. f. 1" was cited in the transcript, to which Linnæus had added "Bonan. 269" and "List. t. 902. f. 22", all which synonyms are present in the 'Systema.' The printed additions are "suturis 3 longitudinalibus, adglutinatis, incrassatis", "secundum suturas: superficies transversim striis elevatis distinctis", "recta".
M. cornutus. M. caudatus, spinis subulatis serie gemina.
The s. in the reference to Rumphius was a misprint for the written 5: "Pet. Gaz. t. 68. f. 12" (as in the 'Systema') was present in the copy. The expressions "striata", "conicæ", "obliquo situ", and the final remark, are the printed additions.
M. trunculus. M. subcaudatus, spinis simplici serie.
The description of the tail and account of the variety were not originally present: "suturis" was, at first, "plicis", and "adglutinatis" was "antrorsum adnatis".
M. ramosus. M. dædaleus triangularis, spira longitudine ventris.
Had the original manuscript been printed, the multitude of species confused under this appellation would have been somewhat lessened. For the cited figures of M. inflatus (Rumph. t. 26. f. A. and Gault. t. 38. f. A), with that of another short-spired Murex (Arg. t. 19. f. C), were separated from the rest, and quoted for a M. unguis-odor, the brief definition of which was "M. dædalens triangularis, spira ventre breviore."
