* As Mr. Sowerby has adopted the name villosus, I have followed him ; 

 though as tomentosus is used through some mistake by Leach in the text,

In Lamarck, c Animaux Sans. Vert.,' the P. villosus of Sowerby is made 

 synonymous with Anatifa villosa of Brugiere, which is certainly incorrect, 

 although the A. villosa of this latter author is not positively known. 



f No habitat is attached to any of these specimens; but Mr. Sowerby 

 informs me that he has seen specimens attached to the Modiola albicostata of 

 Lamarck, which shell is said by the latter author to be found in the seas of 

 India, Timor, and New Holland.
