Linnæus spoilt his excellent earlier description by his attempted emendations. The interpolated "Faux sæpius rufescens" (misprinted virescens), and the reference to Gualtieri's figure O. (_O. erythrostoma_), formed no part of the original version. The "Varictas fere sola est _V. Olivæ_" was an afterthought. V. OLIVA. _V._ spiræ basi reflexa. The synonyms were thus distributed. To var _a_, Rumph. t. 39. f. 2, and Gualt. t. 23. f. B; to var. _g_, Rumph. t. 39. f. 3; to var. _e_, Arg. t. 16. f. R; to var. _d_ ("Cæsius atro-undatus," not "Fusco undulatus" as printed), Rumph. t. 39. f. 4. The expressions "ponderosa" and "magis sulcatum" were not in the original. V. ISPIDULA. _V._ spira adscendente, margine unico. "Pet. Gaz. t. 59. f. 8," cited in the 'Systema,' was also written in the manuscript: not so the "Varietas forte præcedentis _V. Olivæ_." None of the drawings exhibit the produced spire, which must have resembled that of _O. jaspidea_. The earlier name was _ispida_. V. GLABELLA. _V._ ovata lævis, labii margine reflexo, basi rotundata. The reference to Gualtieri (a doubtful figure) was not originally inserted. The intended name was _V. polita_. V. CAFFRA. _V._ fusiformis lævis. The absurdity of asserting, in relation to this and the next species, that each resembled the other, but was larger, arose from the circumstance that when our author, in revising the labours of his amanuensis, added "sed major," he omitted to erase it from the following species. V. VULPECULA. _V._ fusiformis angulata inermis, transversim striata. Of the ample details the first two paragraphs only were found in the manuscript. The proposed name was _V. picta_. V. PLICARIA. _V._ fusiformis, angulis antice subspinosis. The intended appellation _angulata_ was changed from an erroneous impression of the identity of the species with the _Turricula plicata_ of Rumphius. "Mucronatis" and "albidus" were emendations. "Bonan. 8. f. 65" was referred to, as in the 'Systema'. V. PERTUSA. _V._ fusiformis, labro denticulato, striata punctis pertusis. _V. denticulata_ was the name originally proposed for this _Mitre_. V. MITRA. _V._ fusiformis lævis, labro denticulato. The final paragraph was not in the manuscript, where "Bonan. 3. t. 119, 120", and "Klein, 36. Mitra episcopi", the former cited in the 'Systema', the latter a mere name, were quoted as illustrative. V. MUSICA. _V._ spinis obtusiusculis, columella plicis 8. The reference to the letters X. and Y. of Gualtieri (neither of which are illustrative) stood not thus in the original: the characteristic Z. of that work was the figure really cited. The printed edition has been enlarged by an "ob" before "ovato" the addition of "solida", and the description of the lips. V. VESPERTILIO. _V._ spinis acutis, columella plicis 4. The only printed additions are "ob" before "ovato", "s. glauca", and "fuscis lineis" in place of the "saturatius." V. ÆTHIOPICA. _V._ spinis fornicatis cingentibus apicem papillarem.
