 mens having been coUedled. It is not so robust a shell as the pre- 

 ceding, with which it had aflfinities, as also wdth sanguinea and 

 pida. The measurements from adult specimens give the following 

 results, viz : A. pida ^ 19/20X8 1-2/20 ; A. tcfrao, 15/20X9/20; 

 A. sanguinea 18/20X8/20; A. remyi, 14/20X6/20. — Newc.
