BUCCINHLE.
Buccinum Unci, Maravigna, belongs to Nassa, and is perhaps only a variety
of X covniculum (Olivi). Benoit & Aradas, Bull, mal Ital. iii. p. 56. Weinkauff,
on the contrary, admits it as a distinct species of the true genus Buccinum,
allied to humphreysianum, ibid. p. 79.

Nassa gibbosula (L.), its occurrence in some parts of the Mediterranean
defended. [The Recorder received it many years ago as found on the shore of
Sin\ ma by Prof. Fleischer.]—N. scmistriutu (Ifrocehi) is admitted as a distinct
recent species in the Mediterranean, and the name N.pi/gnteca ( Lam.) changed
