Obs. — In the generic description the operculum is stated to 

 be calcareous. This is not correct ; it is horny. I extracted the 

 operculum, and Mr. Bastow and I tested it with a solution of 

 muriatic acid, observing it under the microscope. There was no 

 reaction. A fragment of calcareous shell was then put in the same 

 solution, and strong reaction took place immediately.
