"Quinque" and "adspersis" were not in the original.
C. OCELLATA. _C._ marginata lutea, ocellis nigris.
C. FLAVEOLA. _C._ marginata fulva, albo punctata.
C. PORARIA. _C._ marginata subviolacea, albo punctata.
C. PEDICULUS. _C._ transversim sulcata.
"List. 168. t. 3. f. 17." and "Barr. t. 1326. f. 28." were cited in
addition to the printed synonyms. The last four words of the description
were not in the copy.
C. NUCLEUS. _C._ sulcata punctata tuberculis, rostrata.
"Pet. Amb. t. 16 f. 11." was cited as illustrative.
C. STAPHYLÆA. _C._ punctis elevatis sine striis, subrostrata.
The printed "minus" has been substituted for the earlier "vix"; "lutea"
for "flava"; and "totam basin" for "maximum partem baseos."
C. GLOBULUS. _C._ rostrata lævis.
The printed additions were "alba s.", "extremitate utraque" (in place
of "postice"), "Superficies punctis vix manifestis notata", and
"excurrentes in strias".
BULLA.
Testa subrotunda, inflata, lævis. Apertura oblonga, non utrinque
dentata. Spira obsoleta. Columella obliqua.
The _Murex ficus_ and _rapa_ of the printed edition were originally
located in this genus, from which _Auris Midæ_, _Auris Judæ_, and
_achatina_ were excluded: the two former were placed in _Morion_, the
last in _Buccinum_.
B. OVUM. _B._ birostris, labio dentato.
"Arg. t. 21. f. A." "Pet. Gaz. t. 94. f. 7." "Pet. Amb. t. 8. f. 6."
were additional references in the written copy: "magnitudine ovi
gallinacei", "apice et basi producta", were emendations during the
printing. The "dilatata" was originally modified by a "parum."
B. VOLVA. _B._ birostris, rostris elongatis striatis.
"List. t. 711. f. 63" had been added to the copy by the hand of Linnæus.
The mode of reference (not, as in the earlier writings, by sections and
chapters) evinces that this addition was, in all probability, subsequent
to the publication of the work.
B. VERRUCOSA. _B._ angulata, aucta utrinque puncto osseo.
The correct synonyms of "Arg. t. 21. f. M." and "Pet. Gaz. t. 97. f.22."
were found in the manuscript: the printed emendations were, "magnitudine
ovi passerini", "uti anterius", and "granis duobus" for the earlier
"punctis."
B. GIBBOSA. _B._ angulata, cingulo elevato.
"Bonan. 249", "List. t. 711. f. 64", "Pet. Gaz. t. 15. f. 5", were
cited in the copy: "præcedentis magnitudine", "solidiorque", with
the modification of "cylindrica" by a preceding "sub", were press
emendations.
B. NAUCUM. _B._ rotundata pellucida.
The size was not at first mentioned.
B. AMPULLA. _B._ rotundata opaca.
The printed "nulla" replaced the earlier "descendens, nuda", and
"pallido-testacea" the written "albida." The "antice, nullus vero
postice" was an emendation of the press.
B. PHYSIS. _B._ spira obtusa, lineis crispata.
"Sæpe", "hiansque", "tenue", and the name, are not to be found in
the written copy: "apicem" was the reading for the printed "ventrem,
aduatum."
B. AMPLUSTRE. _B._ spira elevata, fasciis incarnatis.
