Genus BRODERIPIA, Gray. 

 Molluscum trachelipodum mai-inum. 

 Testa marina, patelliformis, deprcssa, oblonga, non- 



spiralis ; apice postico, incurvo ; aperturd maxima, 



ovatd, inlits margaritacea. 

 Mollusc, trachelipodous, marine. 

 Shell marine, patelliform, depressed, oblong, nonsjiiral ; 



apex posterior, incurved ; aperture very large, 



ovate, pearly within. 



The late Mr. Broderip described two shells of this 

 small genus, including them in Scutella. Hut although 

 the animal is not known, the structure of the shell makes 

 it probable that they belong to the family of the 

 Slomatellinoi ; and that they bear the same relation to 

 that family as the Ancyli do to the Lymneadw. 



Two Pacific, one Philippine, and one other species, 

 are all at present known.

The shell irom which our figure was originally drawn 

 was unfortunately lost from Mr. Cuming's collection, 

 but a drawing is preserved and an inferior specimen 

 remains.
