The I of the reference to Rumphius was a misprint for the written
1. A drawing of Gualtieri (t. 64. f. O), which accords not with the
description of this species, was an additional synonym. The name had
been added subsequently. _Turbo cidaris_ agrees in most respects.
T. PETHOLATUS. _T._ exumbilicatus ovatus lævis, anfractibus sursum
obsolete angulatis.
The written version furnishes us with the additional synonyms of "Gualt.
t. 64. f. F.", and "Klein 40. t. 2. f. 51."; the latter (also cited
in the 'Systema') was added by our author when he admitted the at
first excluded 5. 6 of the synonym of Rumphius. The admission of the
rounded-whorled variety? was evidently an afterthought.
T. CHRYSOSTOMUS. _T._ exumbilicatus subovatus rugosus striatus, spinis
fornicatis.
"Klein 41. t. 7. f. 126" (cited in the 'Systema'), and the printed "in
superiore serie majoribus", had been added by Linnæus in the original
account.
T. TECTUM-PERSICUM. _T._ exumbilicatus subovatus, spinis obtusis
reflexis, subtus papillosus.
"Forte sola varietas sequentis a loco" has been remarked by our author,
who did not admit in his MS. the deceptive figure of d'Argenville.
T. PAGODUS. _T._ exumbilicatus conicus spinis obtusis concatenatis,
subtus papillose striatus.
Neither "acuminata", nor the inappropriate "rotundata", were in the
original account of this well-known species.
T. CALCAR. _T._ exumbilicatus depressus, anfractibus supra spinis
fornicato-compressis scabris.
To his printed synonyms Linnæus has added "Gualt. t. 65. f. N. P.",
"List. Hist. t. 608. f. 46", and "Klein t. 1. f. 27". The "fornicatis"
was an emendation.
T. MARMORATUS. _T._ exumbilicatus subovatus nodosus lævis.
T. PICA. _T._ umbilicatus lævis conicus denticulo umbilicali.
"Habitat in Barbados, Jamaica", which corrects the stated locality of
the 'Systema,' and "Bonan. 29, 30", "Pet. Gaz. t. 70 f. 9", were the
additional particulars of the manuscript copy.
T. ARGYROSTOMUS. _T._ umbilicatus subovatus, striatus lineis dorsalibus.
The erroneous references to Gualtieri and d'Argenville, were not
present: "os argenteum variegatum" was written after the reference to
Rumphius, which name belongs to figure 3, not to 4, whose colouring,
moreover, excludes it from being illustrative. The intended specific
name was "os variegatum."
T. MARGARITACEUS. _T._ exumbilicatus subovatus, (? angulo) dorsali
elevato, ore postice diducto.
Rumphius was not referred to in the original, where "subtilissimis" was
in the place of "variis": the printed "margine albo" was a subsequent
emendation.
T. DELPHINUS. _T._ umbilicatus depressus hispidus, spinis ramosis.
"Pet. Amb. t. 3. f. 1", and "Grew Mus. t. 11. f. 5, 6", were also cited.
T. DISTORTUS. _T._ umbilicatus muricatus undique spinulis brevibus.
The final remark was not in the original.
T. SCALARIS. _T._ cancellatus conicus, anfractibus distantibus.
