* Schlegel says that tliis species belongs to the division " a orifice brancliial 

 reeule en arriere et vers le bas ;" but by the figure quoted, and by tlie close afR- 

 ity of tliis species witli the following, I am induced to believe that the gill- 

 uvity opens superiorly, and not laterally.
