PREFACE. 


Tue chief objects in forming the present Synoptical Cata-_ 
logue have been, to exhibit at one view a complete list of all 
the specimens of Mo.usca at present in the British Museum 
collection, and to furnish such an account of the species 
known to exist in other collections, but which are at present ) 
desiderata in the British Museum, as the materials at hand — 
would permit me to compile, in order to enable travellers, — 
collectors, and others, to assist in completing the national 


collection. 

For this purpose, short descriptions have been given of all — 
the genera and species of recent Mollusca at present known 
to exist in the different museums and private collections, 
and of the better-known fossil species of the various families. 

At the end of each description is added an enumeration 
stating the state, age, country, or strata, and other pecu- 
liarities, of each specimen of the kind in the Museum 
collection ; and, when the species is not at present in that 
collection, the museum in which it has been observed is 
often added after the general habitat or locality of the 
species. The different individuals of each species contained 
in the British Museum collection are indicated by the letters 
a, b, c, &e. 

Those specimens which have been presented to the Museum 
have the name of the donor marked immediately after the 


—

habitat. When there is no such indication, the specimens 
_have been either purchased, or procured in exchange ; and 
_in this case, whenever the place or person from whom they 
_have been received gives authenticity to the specimens, or 


adds any thing to their history, they are noted as being from 
such and such a collection or locality. Great attention has 
been paid to dates, and the generic and specific names which 


appear to possess priority in this respect have been adopted. 


Reference has also been made to the works in which the 
genera and species appear to have been first described or 
noticed. 

Catalogues like the present can be little more than com- 
pilations, and I have freely availed myself of the labours of 


_ my predecessors in the same field; especially of those who 


_ have published monographs of the different groups: but the 


’ characters of the orders, families, minor groups, and species, 


have been compared and revised with the specimens. In 
this Part great use has been made of the researches of 
M. D’Orbigny, who, with the late Baron Férussac, has been 
for many years engaged in the study of these animals; 
and their works may be considered as the basis of this Part 
of the Catalogue.

INTRODUCTION. 


Sup-Kinepom III. MOLLUSCA. 


Body soft, fleshy, destitute both of any bony skeleton supporting 


jointed limbs, and of a hard ringed skin, or external skeleton. 


Generally elongate, walking on a single central foot or disk, and — 


furnished with one or more pairs of organs on the head and 
sides. The nervous system consists of a number of medullary 


masses distributed to different parts of the body; one of the — 


masses placed over the gullet, and enveloping it like a collar. 


\ 


The body is furnished with a muscular coat, called a mantle, © 


_ endued with a glairy humour, and generally furnished with a 


ealeareous envelope called a shell, secreted by the mantle, — 


and protecting the body, or the more vital organs of the animal. 

There is generally a mantle on each side of the body, each fur- 
nished with a shell; but the shells on the two sides are often 
very differently sized, that on one of the sides is in some only 
rudimentary, and in others they both are wanting in the adult. 
Some animals which have two unequal valves in the feetal, or 
very young, state, lose them when they grow up.

Cuass 1V. CEPHALOPODA. 


Head large, separate from the body. Eyes large, complex, lateral. 
Ears developed. Mouth armed with two horny or shelly jaws, 
edged with fleshy lips, and surrounded by eight or ten fleshy 
arms, or numerous tentacles; and furnished with an entire or 
slit tube, or siphuncle, used in locomotion. 

Body ovate, roundish, or cylindrical, open in front, containing 
the viscera and one or two pair of internal symmetrical gills ; 
naked ; surrounded by a thin shell, with a single cavity ? or partly

Fam. TL OCYTHOIDA (ARGONAUTIDZ®). 


Body ovoid, enlarged in front, smooth, covered with a thin skin 
marked with chromatic glands. Ventral aperture extending 
to under the eyes. Cer vical band moderate. Ventral part of the 
mantle supported by an elevated button on the inner side near 
the margin, fitting into a notch at the base of the siphuncle. 

Head oblique, short above and long below. Eyes lateral, very 
large, ovate, prominent, covered on the upper edge with a very 
thin eyelid. Beak broad, not compressed. Ear “small, behind 
the eye, under the cervical band and lateral aquiferous opening. 
Aauiferous openings one pair at the upper hinder angle of the 
eye. 

ins tapering, very unequal ; the dorsal pair bent back on them- 
selves and furnished with a membrane, the lower pair with a 
broad membranous exterior keel, the lateral pairs depressed. 
Cups in two series, prominent, as if slightly pediceled. 

Siphuncle very large, conical, attached by two exterior lateral and 
two other medial very thin bands. 

? Shell (ARGoNAUTA) exterior, one-celled, thin, brittle, transparent, 
horny, calcareous, slightly flexible when wet; nucleus hemi- 
spherical, very large. 

The female Ocythoes are often found in the shell of the Argo- 
naut, and have hence been supposed to form these shells, and as 
yet no other animal has been found inhabiting them; but there 
are several reasons for believing that the Ocy ythoe i is only a parasite 
adapted by its form to live in such shells, as the web of the arms is 
used by the animal to embrace the shell and keep it in its right 


OCYTHOIDZ. 29 


position on the body. Unlike all other Mollusca, which form 
the shell they inhabit: First, the Ocythoe is not attached to the shell 
by any muscle, nor has it any muscle, like the bone-bearing cuttle- 
fish, formed for the purpose of attaching the body to an internal 
shell. Secondly, the animal, when alive, does not fit the shell; so 
that the shell cannot have been moulded on its body, as in other 
Mollusca. Thirdly, the skin of the Ocythoe is of the same texture 
and appearance as in the other naked Cephalopoda; and the presence 
of sand between the shell and the body appears to cause no un- 
easiness to the animal, as it does in all other shell-bearing Mol- 
luseca, where the animal immediately rids itself of the irritation 
so caused by covering the sand, &c., with a calcareous coat. 
The animals found in these shells are always female, and the 
apex of the shell is filled with very small eggs; while from the 
large size of the young shell, which is seen on the apex of the true 
Argonaut, we should expect the animal which formed that shell 
to have a large egg ; for, though the eggs of Mollusca are enlarged 
during the hatching, they are not, in any case I have observed, so 
much enlarged as to have such a shell. 

It is supposed by those who believe that the shell belongs to 
the Ocythoe, that it is formed and mended when broken by 
the expanded ends of the upper arms, which embrace the outer 
surface of the shell, and keep it on the body of the animal. 

Cranch and Adams, who have seen these animals alive, state 
that they leave the shell when they are frightened, and they cannot 
recover their position in the shell after they have thus left it. 

Mr. Adams regards the Argonaut shell as a nest formed by 
the female to contain her eggs ; if this is correct, it can scarcely be 
compared to other shells. He regards them as similar to the carti- 
laginous cases which Murices and other zoophagous Mollusca form 
to contain their eggs! ; but they have no apparent analogy to those 
bodies, which are secreted by the oviduct as the eggs are deposited. 

These various views show that the origin of the shell is not yet 
distinctly settled.

D’Orbigny, in his description, says the shell is without any | 
lateral ridges or thickening, but his specific character is (ateribus | 
incrassatis). Both our specimens have three or four small cups, i 
forming a single line on the angles of the buccal membrane ; and 
they show that the rings, on which M. D’Orbigny appears to place | 
much reliance, change their character with the age of the spe- 
cimens.

The shell of S. officinalis and SS. apama have the inside of the 
front part, which is next to the back of the animal, covered with a 
hoodlike horny plate, apparently formed of the continuation of the 
cartilaginous margin which has not been observed in the other 
species. 

See Longchamps (Mém. Soc. Lin. Norm. v. 1835, 79.) and 
Buckland (Bridgewater Treat. ii. t.) on the structure of the shell. 


Synopsis of the Sections of the Genus.

1. LITUUS. 


Body oblong, rather compressed. Mantle free, upper end trun- 
cated, with a projection of the margin on the middle of the back, 
and one on each side of the siphuncle on the ventral side. Fins 
two, small, caudal on the side of the extremity of the back. End 
of the body sometimes furnished with a central, rounded, thick- 
ened belt, with a central rounded cavity.— Head rather com- 
pressed; eyes large, covered with the skin.—Sessile arms 
triangular, tapering, rounded externally ; cups numerous, equi- 
distant, very small, slightly pediceled, in six longitudinal series ; 
rings entire, or very minute, denticulated; third and fourth 
shortly webbed, the rest free. Tentacular arms elongated, 
cylindrical; club ?.—Siphuncle with an apical 
valve.— Shell calcareous, cylindrical, conical, tapering, involute 
on the same plane, the whorls separate from each other, cham- 
bered. Septa concave outwards, with a shelly funnel-shaped 
siphon on the inner or most curved side, traversing each cell 
without communicating with each other. Last chamber rather 
the largest; the nucleus, or first-formed chamber, roundish, 
swollen, embedded, placed symmetrically, the larger portion being 
on the hinder part of the centre of the back, and the smaller 
whorls below on the hinder part of the ventral surface, covered 
on the sides by the flesh of the body, and above and below by a 
thin skin. 


Péron and Lamarck represent the shell as partly exposed at 
the end of the body, and this agrees with the imperfect specimen 
brought home by Captain Belcher, and described by Mr. Owen. 
Mr. Cranch’s fragment, that described by M. De Blainville, and 
the nearly perfect specimens brought home by Mr. Earl, first 
figured by Mrs. Gray in the Annals, have the shell entirely enclosed, 
and the hinder part of the body furnished with a thick ring-like 
fleshy substance, pierced in the centre, and having a slight semicir- 


- 4a3o-—

cular kind of fin on each side. It has been suggested that this 
may depend on the sex of the specimens. De Blainville’s specimen 
was a female, but the sex of the others is unknown.

Dr. Mantell, in his restoration of this genus (Phil. Trans, 1848, t. 
14. f. 3, 4.), seems to have overlooked the fact that the upper part 
of the shell appears, as figured by Messrs. Owen and Cunnington, 
to be subcylindrical, like the upper part of the cone of the Belem-

Belemnosepia (pars) Buckland, Geol. et Min. i. 371. ii. 68. t. 44. f. 
i 7,12. | 


Dr. Buckland gives a theoretical figure of the animal of this 
genus, which appears most consistent with the specimens I have 
examined (see Gol. and Mineralogy with Nat. Theology, ii. 70. t. 
44. f. 1. 1836); and figures a Belemnites, with the upper part of 
the shell preserved (I. c. i. t. 4. f. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. 1836). 

Dr. Mantell (Phil. Trans. 1848, t. 15. f. 2. 3.) has figured a 
specimen which appears to have an elongated process on each side, 
like the processes on the side of the mouth of certain Ammonites ; 
but, on examining the specimen, I am very doubtful if this ap- 
pearance does not arise from an accidental fracture of the upper 
part of the conical sheath. 

M. D’Orbigny describes the shell of this genus as horny, en- 
larged in front into a spathuliform dorsal plate, contracted behind, 
with a conical cavity furnished with concave septa, having a 
siphon on the ventral edge traversing all the cells, and coated 
externally with a shelly beak. The theoretical form of the bone 
is represented by M. D’Orbigny in Ann. Sci. Nat. 1842, t. , 
Paléont. Franc. Ter. Juras. t. 2. f.1, 2. t.3. f.1, 2,3. t.4.f 1, 
Moll. Viv. et Fos. i. t. 35, 36. The authority for this dorsal ex- 
pansion appears to rest on certain lines seen on the outside of the 
cone of Belemnites giganteus var. aalensis, which, he thinks, 
resemble the grooves found on the dorsal surface of the bone of 
the cuttle-fish, Sepia or Loligo, and hence he believes they have 
a similar enlarged dorsal plate. This may be the case with some 
species, though, I believe, no specimens have been found to establish 
this theory, and the external surface of the conical part of other 
Belemnites shows no indication of any such grooves ; but this may 
arise from two or more distinct forms being confounded in the 
present genus Belemnites.

PREFACE. 


Tuts Catalogue contains a List of all the species of Mollusca 
belonging to the family Olivide, with the characters of the 
genera and sections into which the species are divided, 
indicating at the same time, by a B.M. in the margin, those 


contained in the British Museum. 


To show the geographical distribution of the species, 
great attention has been paid to the evidence of the country 
inhabited by them." 


JOHN EDWARD GRAY.

Dec. 1864. 


OF 


MODE lbp US. Ger. 


Family OLIVID&. 


Siphon of mantle recurved. Head small. Foot with a cross 
groove on each side, in front very large, often enclosing a part 
of the shell and producing a polished coat on it. Mantle en- 
closed. Shell ovate cylindrical. Mouth linear, ovate; canal re- 
duced to a notch. Operculum horny, small, often wanting. 


Tribe I. OLIVINA. 


Shell subcylindrical, smooth, polished ; suture with a deep 
channel; pillar plaited in front. Mantle with an elongated 
posterior process enclosed in the groove of the spire. Lateral 
teeth of the tongue broad ovate. Operculum with subapical 
nucleus or wanting. 


Linneeus divided the shells usually called Olives by the 
dealers into three species, viz. Voluta porphyria, V. oliva, and 
V. isprdula. 

Gmelin added a few; and Lamarck, who published a mono- 
graph of the genus in the ‘Annales du Muséum,’ extended the 
number to sixty-two, which Dillwyn reduced to eighteen. 

Duclos, who published the plates of a monograph of this 
genus in 1835, figures eighty-four recent species ; and he con- 
siders twenty-two of the species which Lamarck described as 
only varieties of other species. 


6 OLIVIDZX. 


In 1850 Mr. L. Reeve, in his ‘Conchologia Iconica,’ pub- 
lished the figures of 100 species, but without any attention to 
their affinity to each other, and with scarcely sufficient care to 
the more important part of the shell on which the separation 
of the species depends. They are therefore inferior to those of 
M. Duclos. 

I believe that it is the uncertainty with regard to the number 
of the species that has rendered these shells, which are cer- 
tainly among the most beautiful in form, colour, and marking 
that we possess, so little attended to by the general collector. 
This is the more remarkable, as the shells are very extensively 
distributed over the globe and are easily collected, and therefore 
procurable by the conchologist at a moderate rate. Though it 
is very difficult to define the limits of many of the species on 
account of the great variation in the colour, and the extraordi- 
nary manner in which the marking gradually changes in its 
character, yet other species are easily distinguished. 

All the species are easily separated into very distinct groups, 
defined by variations in the form and structure of the shell, 
which are evidently produced by important modifications in 
the structure of the animal. To point out these groups is the 
object of this List, for I believe that by dividing the species, 
or varieties which have been considered as species, into such 
groups, I shall do much to disentangle the subject, and at least 
confine the confusion to definite limits; for if the groups are 
properly defined, it is only the specimens belonging to one of 
these groups that can be varieties of each other. 

M. Duclos, in his monograph, divides the species into four 
groups :—1. Ancilloides (twenty-nine species); 2. Cylindrordes 
(fifty species); 8. Glandiformes (seventeen species); 4. Volutelles 
(seventeen species). 

M. D’Orbigny, in his ‘ Voyage to South America,’ formed 
M. Duclos’s four sections into three genera, giving to the first 
section the name of Olivina, to the second and third sections 
that of Oliva, and to the fourth Olvancillaria, apparently 
founded on the form of the animal; but it is only necessary to 
compare his figures of the animals of the two species of the 
latter genus to show how little he attended to his own characters. 

In the ‘Zoology to Capt. Beechey’s Voyage’ I divided the 
genus into two, according to the structure of the animal, viz. 
Oliva and Agaronia, and observed that some Olive were furnished 
with an operculum not present in other species. More lately, 
in the text to Mrs. Gray’s ‘ Figures of Molluscous Animals,’ and 
in the ‘Guide to the Collection of Mollusca in the Museum,’ I 
have extended the number of genera to four; separating the 
operculated Olive under the name of Olvella, and giving to an 


OLIVID2, 7 


animal figured by D’Orbigny as Oliva auricularia the name of 
Scaphura. 

These shells sometimes have an elevated shelly cross band. 
Lamarck had a specimen of Oliva porphyria (Hist. vii. 418) 
so marked. It is not uncommon in O, guttata, where it has 
been regarded as a specific character; but it is often found 
in other species. 

A further study of the figures of the animals given by authors 
has induced me to revise this arrangement and propose the 
following 


SYNOPSIS OF THE GENERA. 


I, Head exposed; tentacles elongate, subulate ; eyes distinct, sub- 
basal. Foot elongate, dilated, front lobes semucircular. 
Operculum none, Shell with the front belt narrow. 


* Spire simple, with sutural groove open to the tap. 


Pillar lip simple, not covering the front belt; inner lip cross 
grooved. 1. STREPHONA. 


Pillar lip simple, not covering the front belt; inner lip thick- 
ened the whole length, with two or three slight grooves in 
front. 2. IsprpULA. 


Pillar lip simple, not covering the front belt; inner lip with a 
series of transverse parallel grooves in front extending over 
the pillar. 3. RAMOLA,. 


Pillar lip expanded so far back as to cover the front belt, and 
with an oblique raised ridge in front ; inner lip grooved. 
4, CARMIONE. 


** Spire callous, obliterating the sutural grooves, except on the last 
or lowest whorl. 


Shell ovate or obconic; aperture wide; pillar lip expanded ;

I. Head exposed ; tentacles elongate, subulate; eyes distinct, sub- 
basal. Foot elongate, dilated, front lobes semicircular. 
Operculum none. Shell with the front belt narrow. 


* Spire simple, with sutural groove open to the tip. 


Genus 1. STREPHONA. 


Shell subcylindrical ; spire conical or flattish, small ; aperture 
linear ; pillar lip simple, only expanded in front, and not cover- 
ing the callus; front belt narrow ; inner lip cross grooved. Foot 
elongate, longer than the shell, broad, rounded behind, dilated 
on the sides, which are bent up and cover the shell; the front 
lobes nearly semicircular, rather produced, and acute at the 
hinder outer angles. Head exposed; tentacles elongate; eyes 
one-third from the base. Operculum none. 

Adanson, in his ‘Hist. Nat. du Sénégal,’ regards all the 
specimens of this genus as belonging to one species, observing : 
—“Ta couleur de cette coquille est peu constante. J’en ai de 
blanches, de jaunes, de jaunes livids, de jaunes verd, & méme 
de verddtres sans aucun mélange. J’en ai aussi qui, sur ces 
différens fonds, sont tachées, tigrées, marbrées ou couvertes de 
zigzags, qui s’étendent tant6t sur leur longueur, tantot sur leur 
largeur. Ces taches, ces points, ces bandes, et ces lignes sont 
cendrés, noir ou bleuadtre dans les unes; brun, rougeatres ou 
pourpres dans les autres: enfin leur mélange est si varié, que ce 
seroit perdre son tems que de faire l’énumération de toutes 
celles qui ont été décrites ou figurées par leurs auteurs. Je me 
suis contenté de citer une vingtaine des principales variétés aux- 
quelles on peut rapporter toutes les autres, dont plus de deux cent 


OLIVID 2. 9 


sont parvenues a ma connoissance. Leur intériewr est aussi 
blanc, jaune, violet, ou pourpre foncé.” (p. 63.) 

It would appear either that the animals vary as much in 
colour as the shells, or, if permanent, they present good cha- 
racters for the separation of the species, according to the speci- 
mens of the animal figured by Messrs. Quoy and Gaimard in 
the ‘ Voyage of the Astrolabe,’ t. 46, which are copied and im- 
proved (?) by M. Duclos. The animal of the black variety of 
O. maura is black, minutely brown-dotted, and with a regular 

ale edge to the foot. S. erythrostoma and S. textilina are pale 

rown, with large brown spots. S. elegans and S. sanguinolenta 
are yellow, minutely black-dotted. It is interesting to observe 
that the shells which are allied in colour and form have animals 
also similarly allied.

has referred both animal and shell to that species (see Lamk. 
Hist. ed. 2. x. 634). 

M. Duclos to obviate the inconsistency—on what authority 1 
do not know—in his enlarged copy of M. D’Orbigny’s figure of 
the animal, places on it a figure of the shell of the true Oliva 
auricularia of Lamarck ! 

It must be left to succeeding naturalists to discover if the 
animal figured by M. D’Orbigny is that of O. biphcata or O. 
auricularia. My genus Scaphula was established on D’Orbigny’s 
account of the animal.

The Olives are known from the Ancillarie by the sutural 
groove on the spire; but in some species which have a very 
distinct groove, it becomes obliterated and entirely hidden by 
a callous deposit on the spire, especially on the upper whorls. 

Duclos regarded this deposition of shelly matter on the spire 
as a good character for the separation of the species, and I was 
induced to follow his opinion, and have, in the ‘ Proceedings of 
the Zoological Society,’ given to his section a distinct generic 
name. I believe that it is a very permanent character im some 
species, but at the same time it is certainly not permanent in 
others : thus, in the British Museum there are four specimens 
of Oliva mustelina ? received at the same time from China, two of 
which have the groove quite open to the tip, one with it partly 
closed, and the other with the grooves on the upper whorls 
quite obliterated and covered with a thick callosity; this latter 
specimen is considered by M. Duclos as another species and 
referred to a different section. In the same manner I am induced 
to believe, from a specimen in my cabinet, that his Oliva trisans 
is only a variety of Oliva ispidula with the spire covered with 
a callous deposit ; and I have observed that several of the speci- 


OLIVID®. 33 


mens named O. irisans in the late Mr. Gaskoin’s collection 
because they have a callous spire, are only varieties of Oliva 
tremulina ; indeed some of the specimens which have not a cal- 
lous spire are placed with them, under the name of ¢isans. 

It is therefore evident that the character which has been 
regarded as of sectional or even generic importance, is not of 
permanent specific value in certain species, while it appears 
to be permanent and even one of the generic marks of other 
groups. 


Tribe II. ANCILLARINA. 


Shell subcylindrical, polished; suture of spire callous. Mantle 
without any posterior beard. Lateral teeth of the tongue simple, 
curved. Shell more or less covered with an enamel coat ; outer 
lip often with a tooth in front, leaving an impressed groove on 
the outer surface of the front of the last whorl. 

In the late Mr. Gaskoin’s collection there were two specimens 
of a large ovate fusiform shell, from Albany in South Africa, 
which are arranged with Ancil/ia; but the spire is not callous, 
with a simple suture. It is probably arranged with this genus 
because it possesses an anterior sunken groove caused by a labial 
tooth; but this tooth and groove are found in several other 
genera, as Chorus, Concholepas, Acanthiza, Gastridia, Latirus, 
Murex, &e. 


* Shell partly covered with enamel. 


Genus 12. ANCILLA. 


Spire covered with an enamel coat, forming a narrow belt on

acute ; nucleus subapical, near the front of the inner side. 

I have only observed the operculum in 4A. obtusa and A. 
australis.

Tribe III. HARPALINA. 


Shell ventricose variced ; pillar smooth. Operculum none. 


Genus 18. HARPA. 


Shell ovate oblong, thin, striated, with numerous polished, 
acute, rib-like varices ; spire short, acute, last whorl very large ; 
mouth ovate, elongate, broadly notched in front; outer lip with 
a thickened external varix ; pillar lip simple, smooth, rounded, 
pointed in front. Operculum none. Head large; proboscis 
elongate, conical. Teeth ? Tentacles conical, close to- 
gether over the mouth, with the eyes near their base. Foot very 
large, expanded, nicked on each side in front, elongate behind, 
often becoming truncate. The hinder part of the foot separates 
spontaneously when the animal is irritated, or killed in fresh 
water. 

The varices have a strong spine at the hinder end near the 
suture, which is rarely rudimentary : some specimens have one 
or two other smaller spines in front of this spine; but one, and 
sometimes both are more or less completely obliterated: the 
three spines generally most distinct and equal-sized on Harpa 
erenata. 

The number, form, thickness and thinness, and state of arma- 
ture of the varices vary greatly in the individuals of the same 
species; but the character afforded by the structure of the 
outer lip, which has hitherto been but little attended to, seems 
to afford a good character for the separation of the kinds. 

Kiener (the last writer on the subject) regards H. conoi- 
dalis as a mere variety of H. ventricosa, he unites a form of H. 
conordalis with H. nobilis as a variety of that species, he con- 
siders H. crenata as the adult of HZ. rosea.
