Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Malacology, Vol. 8: Established in 1890 as "the Conchologist, a Journal of Malacology;" I was enabled to publish, in Vol. vii of this Journal, pp. 59 64, some Notes on the nomenclature of British Nudibranchiata, with special reference to Jeffreys, British Condi., vol. v.The corrections there found necessary were extensive and, in some cases, of importance. I have been asked to continue the process then initiated, and to apply it to the remainder of Jeffreys. The present paper is the result. The notes must be read throughout with close reference to the pages of Jeffreys. It has not been attempted to introduce uniformity into his citations of the same work or volume, but only to correct them when erroneous. For instance, he refers in successive pages (iii, 246) to "Prodr. Zool." Dan., and (iii, 248, 250)to "Prodr. Zool. Dan.," and (iii, 252) to Prod. Z.D., but I have made no correction, though the title of the work is Zoologiae Danicae Prodromus. But I have thought it desirable, when Linne has described a species as e.g. Venus Gallina, not to acquiesce in his being reported as describing it as Venu gallina.
