THE aim of the present book was to describe and notice a large number of shells in a limited number of pages. It was designed, originally, as an abridged translation of the excellent edition of Lamarck’s ‘Animaux sans Vertébres’ by Deshayes, enlarged by the addition of such species as appeared to the writer to be most decidedly distinct from any enumerated in those volumes. This selection proved embarrassing; since many of the Lamarckian diagnoses, being far too brief for the purpose of definition, suited fairly enough, from their very succinctness, the characters of several subsequently named shells, which otherwise the author would have gladly introduced. Up to the genus Nucula the plan of the work has been uniform, the species of the ‘Animaux’ following each other in numerical suc- cession; beyond that point, the author has allowed himself a less fettered exercise of his more matured judgment; nevertheless, no Lamarckian species has been wilfully omitted. In the Naiades, the skeleton outline given by Lea in the second edition of his ‘Synopsis’ has been accepted as a standard authority ; because such contradictory opinions, 7 iv . PREFACE. relative to the extent of permitted variation and the priority of appellations, prevailed among the naturalists of America, that it appeared advisable to adopt, as a whole, the conclu- sions of one who has devoted a lifetime to the almost exclu- sive study of fresh-water Testacea. This portion will be found extremely useful to the lovers of Uniones, as it gives the proper references to the works of those writers, whose names only had been quoted in the ‘ Synopsis,’ and, more- over, furnishes condensed descriptions (compiled from the volumes indicated in the synonymy) of almost all the Naiades known at the period when it issued from the press. A work written at long intervals of time (from 1842 to 1856) must of necessity prove unequal in its execution: were the earlier pages reprinted a great many errors would be avoided; they sprung chiefly from a modest deference to the opinions of older conchologists. The earlier published descriptions were, in the main, either translations, copies or abridgements; those of the Appendix, on the contrary, have been almost invariably drawn up from the shells them- selves and frequently from the original types. Peculiar labour has been bestowed upon the Ostree, Spondyli and Mytilacea; Terebratula, likewise, has been worked up with more than ordinary attention. Several of the figures are only miniature copies of pub- lished engravings, but the cabinets of Cuming, Metcalfe and Hanley have furnished the artist with subjects for the majority of the illustrations. Due care has been exercised in avoiding the delineation of species which had already been adequately represented in the ‘ InpEx TzEstTaczo- Locicus, of which this work, written expressly as a com- PREFACE, v panion to it, should be regarded as an integral portion and AppENDIX. It was in following up this design that our first plate was numbered 9, the sequence to the eighth and final supplementary plate of that useful iconography: in every other respect this volume is independent of it. The terms “posterior” and “anterior” have been used in accordance with the ideas of the older conchologists, and conversely to their modern signification. This is to be regretted, and has only been continued to the end, in order that the phraseology should harmonise throughout. Allusion has already been made to the long period which has elapsed since the commencement of these pages. It behoves us now to furnish the several dates of their publica- tion. Sheets B, c, were separately issued at the close of 1842,* and conjointly (p.1 to 144) with the seven suc- ceeding ones in the early part of 1843, almost simul- taneously with plates 9 to 18, and their explanatory text. Sheets t to s (p. 145 to 272) appeared at the close of the same year, and were followed, about a twelvemonth after, by plates 14, 15, 16; ‘and at a long interval (two years or there- abouts) by plates 17, 18, 19. Sheet r (p. 273 to 288), although it has been printed for many years, now makes its * Under the title of ‘ Lamarck’s Species of Shells.’ The letter- press was accompanied by two plates, the figures in which had been transferred to stone from our first five plates (on which they had been somewhat promiscuously engraved, having been designed for lithographic transposition) and the earlier engravings of the ‘ Index Testaceologicus.’ The publisher, dissatisfied with their execution, discontinued the work, which should contain 3 plates and 224 pages. v1 PREFACE. first appearance.* The conclusion will not be found dis- figured by those gross typographical mistakes which per- vade the earlier portion, errors too numerous for the author to venture upon a list of ‘ Errata.” A correct printer cannot be too highly appreciated by the writer upon natural science; the reputation of Linneus has suffered from the misprints of his synonymy. In the arrangement of the synonyms brevity alone was originally aimed at (such a reference as “ Ch. f. 399” was to simply imply that Chemnitz had there figured the same shell, not necessarily that he had similarly designated it), Lamarck’s names were usually placed first, and the vicious principle adopted of ascribing species, not to their first describer, but to the systematist who may have eventually located them in the modern genus. After page 289 the order of priority has been more attended to, and the references to such writers as Lister, Knorr and Argenville, who did not attach binomial epithets to their drawings, have been inserted in brackets. The author’s enlarged experience has enabled him, in- deed, to discern these and many other blemishes in his youthful work, but has, likewise, strengthened his con- viction of the great utility of the condensation, portability and suggestiveness which characterize it. The delicacy and minute fidelity of Wood’s engravings may, perchance, be equalled, but cannot be surpassed. * Plates 20 to 24, with their explanatory text, were published on és 26th of July last.

It appears much more like an aberrant Venus. M. Deshayes dwells much on the error (as he considers it), of Mr. Sowerby’s uniting Mesodesma with this genus. I hardly know any one, who, on reading carefully Lamarck’s characters, would not have come to the same conclusion, although assuredly few if any of the fossil species could be classed with the latter genus, the majority of them as well as the recent E. Geoffroyi of Payraydeau, approximating much more closely to the genus Kellia of Turton. E. Grorrroyi. Payr. Cat. t. 1. f. 3, 4, 5.

Mr. Broderip remarks, that in constituting these species he cannot be quite sure of their distinctness. I fear that a comparison of some of these shells, with the specimens of Lamarck in the Jardin des Plantes, will prove them to be synonimous, but at all events, as the characters given by Lamarck were chiefly drawn from worn and 230 TESTACEOUS MOLLUSCA.

Lamarck’s specimen of his Exoneatus. (Lam 12.) is cer- tainly the same as those from which I have drawn my description, many individuals of which agree perfectly with his description of M.

Larus. of Chem- nitz for a figure of this species. Should the synonym prove correct (which I confess I doubt, as I have seen a Brazilian specimen well agreeing with the description of Achatinus, and to all appearance distinct from the New Zealand species) the prior name of CaNnatt- cutus.(Marryn.

Very variable in shape, bemmg sometimes oboval, sometimes elongated oblong or sub- fusiform, more or less solid, ranging in colour from purplish red to orange-yellow, adorned with radiating rib-like folds, that usually diverge, in the upper valve, from a more or less central dorsal rib, and in the lower valve from a corresponding hollow (caused by the GoreontA, a stalk to which the shell has adhered by its hook-like processes of attachment): folds not imbricated or armed, usually numerous, sometimes subangulated, sometimes obtuse, and generally stronger in the lower valve. Inside of a paler or richer yellow; inner margin of the upper valve rough with elevated granules: scar moderate, lateral, more or less reniform. 2. W. Indies. The O. Equesrris of Say (Am.

However averse one may feel to the introduction of modern genera, the necessity of its dismemberment must be acknowledged by any one possessed of a tolerably large collection of Lamarckian Anatine. In addition to those divisions already suggested, viz. Periploma, Thracia and Lyonsia = = Osteodesma (of the last of which the A. membranacea, p. 28, is probably a member), it is advisable to adopt the three following :— NERA, Gray. Transverse, swollen, attenuated and gaping in front, fragile, very slightly inequivalve; wumbones strengthened within by a rib on the anterior side; cartilage process spatulate, in each valve with an obsolete tooth in front, and a front lateral tooth ; pallial sinus very shallow. To this genus must be referred the A. costata, p. 28, and the Corbula rostrata, p. 46. Hinds (Z. P. 1843) has described a N. hyalina, elegans, Gouldiana, Singaporensis, casta, concinna, didyma, rosea, Philippinensis, trigona, iridescens, opalina and lata ; to these may be added our British species cuspidata, costellata, and ab- breviata. Forbes, also, has described (Z. P. 18438) a N. attenuata, and Loven (Ind. Scan. Mol.) a N. vitrea and obesa. ANATINELLA, Sowerby. Ovate, equivalve, subequilateral, slightly beaked and subtruncated m front, rounded behind. Hinge consisting of a cartilage fixed to a spoon- shaped process in each valve, behind which are two rather elongated primary teeth ; 2 lateral scars, no pallial sinus. The A. Nicobarica (Mya angulata, Spengl. Sk. Nat. 11.—Anatinella Sibbaldi, Sow. Gen.), p. 23, is the type of this group. MYODORA, Gray. Trigonal, rounded behind, attenuated and truneated in ae one valve flat, the other convex; interior pearly; cartilage narrow, tri- angular, between 2 tooth-like ridges in the flatter valve, with a free sickle-shaped ossicle ; pallial line sinuated ; structure like Anatina. A. brevis (p. 24), ovalis (p. 25), Pandoriformis (p.'25), crassa (p. 25), and Pandora striata (p, 50), belong to this group. Several other APPENDIX. 339 species have been described by Reeve (Z. P. 1844), and figured in his ‘Conchologia Iconica.’ | Myodora brevis (p. 24, as Anatina b.), t. 10, f. 18... M. ovalis (p. 25, as Anatina o.), t. 9, f. 53... A.

There can be little doubt, likewise, that A. globulosa (p. 20) and A. globosa (p. 23) are generically distinct (Tuconta, Gray), from such typical Anatine as our three first species; A. pretenuis (p. 23) and A.

APPENDIX. 343 On AmpuHIDESMA (p.41) Reeve has published a monograph of Amphidesma proper, in his ‘ Conchologia Iconica.’ Lamarck (whom we followed in youthful confidence) has evidently, under this appella- tion, confused together several well-defined groups. The A. Boysit, tenue and prismaticum have very properly been separated as Syn- posMy& ; A. albellum, according to Recluz, is identical with Lutraria Cottardi (p. 28 = A. Siculum, Sow.); the type of A. physoides (p. 43) was a Kellia (1 saw it in the French Museum in 1843), but, according to Recluz, it is now destroyed; of A. nucleola a Kellia of the section Poronia (teste Recluz an Australian! species), of A. purpurascens, according to the same author, who has confirmed several of our con- jectures, Ervilia nitens. KELLIA, Turton. “Somewhat globular, equivalve, closed. Hinge with two approxi- mate teeth and a remote lateral tooth in one valve, and a concave tooth and remote lateral one in the other. Ligament internal” (Turton). K. Geoffroyt (as Erycina G. p. 40, t. 12, f. 1)... K. rubra, p. 43, t. 9, f.48. Our Mesodesma Cycladea, p. 38, is also a member of this genus, ERVILIA, Turton. “ Oval, equivalve, inequilateral, closed. Hinge with a single erect tooth closing between two small divergent ones in the opposite valve ; lateral teeth none. Ligament none.” E. nitens, p. 43, t. 9, f. 6. The Donax castanea of the earlier British writers (Turt. Dith. t. 10, f. 13, as Capsa c.) is, also, a member of this genus. Cuminera coarctata (t. 12, f. 387), Sow. Z.

S. pho- ladis (p. 51) is a variety of rugosa (of which S. distorta, Say, is a synonym): the types of S. Australis and its var. Veneriformis (p. 52) remind one of Cardite (I did not see their hinges). The genus Hiatella (p. 150) is redundant; its species must be transferred hither. SS. costata of Menke’s ‘Synopsis’ is not a true Saaicava: S. maerodon (Phil. in Zeit. Mal. 1851) and S. legumen (Desh. Rey. Cuy. 1839) should be examined. 2D 346 TESTACEOUS MOLLUSCA. Saaicava Pholadis, p. 50, t. 9, f. 5... S. Guerini, p. 51, t.12, f. 2... S.

The former genus should be suppressed, since its members, when in perfect condition, exhibit a very different hinge from that assigned to them in the definition. P. violacea, zonalis and rosea may be transferred to Psammolia, P. candida and P. Tarentina (the figure of the latter in Delessert is marvellously like Petricola ochroleuca, p. 52, a Tellina in our opinion, which must resume its Linnean name fragilis) to Tellina; P. pellu- cida is the same as T’. lanceolata, p. 67, and P. Donacina (judging from the cited figure) seems a Donax. Psammobia Cayennensis, p- 58, is a true Tellina; Tellinides striata, p. 74, perchance, a Psam- mobia. For additional Psammobie consult Proc.

The locality of L. squamosa (p. 76), and the reference to Poli for a figure of it, are errors not to be found in Lamarck, but only in the edition here translated. The drawing (H. t. 285, f. 3) originally cited as illustrative exhibits, to my fancy, the L. occidentalis of Reeve (= imbricatula, Adams), a native of the W. Indies. LL. reticulata (p. 76) is said by Recluz, who asserts that he has examined the type, to be an Artemis; the figures referred to by Lamarck do not represent (as declared in the note) 7’. crassa, but Amphidesma reticulatum. For the synonymy of L. pecten (p. 77), Tel. reticulata, Poli, and L.r. Payr. p. 43, should be substituted. Delessert’s representation of L. digitalis (p. 77) was the original of the figure in this work; it bears little resemblance to the real L. digitaria of Linneus.

The description of A. imbricata (p. 152) is from Bruguiére, but unless both Reeve and myself should be mis- taken, the expression “ rhomboidal oblong” would be more appro- priate than “ovate.” The copied synonymy is not to be trusted to. A. cardissa (p. 153) is only a distorted tetragona (p. 152); A. Gat- mardi (p. 155) a form of A. lactea (p. 154). Wood’s figure of A. Brasiliana (p. 158) does not exhibit the features of that shell.

The description of M. elongata has been attached to M. cuneiformis, erroneously alleged to have been published in the Z. P. 1844. The description of M. elongata, on the contrary, was drawn up from a new species (at least it was so in 1843—I know no name for it even now—when that part of the book was printed) from the Gambia. The error having been detected by the author, the M. cunetformis was not inserted in the Zoological Proceedings.

APP. * This figure is copied from that given in Delessert’s delinea- tions of the unfigured specimens described by Lamarck. The ori- ginal diagnosis is as follows :— ‘‘ Cordate, ventricose, with many crenulated ribs; umbones oblique; emarginated anteriorly. 12. Indian Ocean. Allied to Rhombea, but smaller, nith the beaks more approximated.” The figure in Delessert’s magnificent folio, exhibits about thirty very closely arranged ribs, and the posterior end of the ligamental area destitute of any ligament. I have never met with any specimen which I could satisfactorily identify with this engraving; the shell which I have described at page 157, (which is a variety of my A Deshayesii, the Antiquata of Lamarck’s description, but not that of Linnzeus,) although sufficiently in accordance with the too brief characters, evidently not being identical with the delineated spe- cimen. 25 26 Q7 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 85 36 37 38 39 4.0 4.1 42 43 Ad 45 46 4:7 48 Radians p. 165 Undulatus p. 162 Pectinoides arp.
