HELLO EVERYBODY

Linnaeus listed 708 Molluscs:
  4 Chitons (only one valid)
  4 Tusks
  5 Barnacles !!
 19 Cephalopoda ( with 1 gastro & 14 foraminifera inside )
 14 "Serpula" ( with 3 worms, 4 Vermetidae, 2 Clavagellidae & 5 ununknown to
me)
223 Bivalvia ( with 17 Brachiopoda & 3 Pteropoda inside )
439 Gastroppoda.
Could anyone help me to identify the last 29 linnean species with their
extant names.
Linnaeus put them in 7 genera:
 6 TURBO: personatus, cochlus, margaritaceus, reflexus, replicatus &
annulatus
10 HELIX (mostly land & freshwater snails): oculuscapri, striatula, leucas,
cornumilitare,
        scabra, gothica, hispana, fragilis, limosa & balthica
  1 NERITA: bidens
  1 HALIOTIS: striata
  5 PATELLA: neritoidea, tuberculata, lutea, fusca & cruciata
  1 DENTALIUM: minutum
  5 "SERPULA": seminulum, plnorbis, ringens, intricata & contorplicata.

They certainly change their genus name but perhaps not their species name.
I think it is an exciting challenge for a beginner or not to put on a table
the first
scientifically named shells.
