Montagu, in describing that species, says, “the edge crenated.” 
(Page 131.) 
With respect to Crassina multicostata being “strangely 
confounded” with C. elliptica by several authors, I have not 
observed these. The former shell was first figured, described, 
and named by me in the VIII. vol. of the Wernerian Memoirs. 
It is a Fossil species belonging to the Newer Pliocene Depo- 
sits, and has neyer been found recent to my knowledge. The 
Professor is decidedly in error in referring my C. convexiscula 
to this species. 
Genus PotysToMELLA.—(Page 1.) 
4. PonysToMELLA GULIELMINZE. 
Polystomella Gulielmine, Macgillivray, Moll., p. 315. 
Shell orbicular, discoidal, equally convex on both sides, and 
compressed, slanting to a thin subcarinated ambit or back; ex- 
ternal volution consisting of about fifteen radiating chambers, 
elevated, narrow, and convex, with transversely sulcated concave 
interstices ; centres elevated, and the aperture semilunar, con- 
vex, thickened at the margin, and moderately raised, with its 
sides embracing the next convolution. Diameter about the 
sixteenth of an inch. 
Found by Professor Macgillivray, on the beach near Aber- 
deen, adhering to Terebelle and Pectenarie. 
5. PoLysTOMELLA CRENULATA. 
Polystomella crenulata, Macgillivray, Moll., p. 316. 
Shell nearly round, discoidal, considerably compressed, with 
somewhat convex sides; ambit rounded; external volution pro- 
vided with about twenty inflated, curved, transversely crenated 
chambers; partitions concave and crenated; aperture semilunar, 
narrow, convex; colour bluish-grey. Diameter about the fif- 
teenth of an inch. 
Differs from P. crispa, in being much less, and in having the 
entire surface and grooves crenated, and with a convex margin. 
Found by Professor Macgillivray, in shell sand from Cruden 
Bay, and on the beach at Aberdeen, adhering to Terebella 
conchilega. 
6. PortysToMELLA NAuTILINA. 
Polystomella Nautilina, Macgillivray, Moll., p. 317. 
Shell nautiliform, with umbilicated, somewhat convex sides; 
ambit rounded; external volution with from ten to twelve 
small slightly inflated, narrow, smooth, glossy chambers, which 
increase gradually, and then rapidly towards the last cell, which 
is large, and granulated towards the umbilicus; partitions de- 
pressed, curved, and slightly striated; flat, with two medial 
ridges, provided with two series of pores, and a nearly flat 
cover; aperture cordiform, and embracing the next convolution; 
colour greyish-white. * Diameter about the fiftieth of an inch. 
Found by Professor Macgillivray, adhering to Ter ebella conchi- 
lega, on the beach near Aberdeen, where it is not uncommon. 
Genus Lacrena.—(Page 3.)

MOLLUSCA. 
Found at Sandwich; rare. 
8. LaGENA RETICULATA. 
Lagenula reticulata, Macgillivray, Moll. Ab., p. 38. 
Shell somewhat ovately globose, considerably compressed, 
white, smooth, glossy, and pellucid, with many internal, irregu- 
lar, opaque, white, reticulated, quadrate spaces; internal cavity 
simple, with parietal cells; aperture terminal, oval, and ample. 
Length about the thirty-sixth part of an inch; breadth con- 
siderably less. 
Found by Professor Macgillivray, among shells and corallines, 
from the Bay of Aberdeen. 
Genus 6.—TricuotTropis.—Broderip. 
Turbinated, carinated, umbilicated; aperture large, and 
entire; columella obliquely truncated; outer lip thin, sharp ; 
covered with a horny epidermis, produced into long cilie ; 
operculum horny, and elastic. 
1. Tricnorropis acuminata, pl. LVII, f. 15. 
Trichotropis acuminata, Jeffreys, MSS.; Lusus wmbilicatus, 
Brown, Wernerian Mem., VIII, p. 50, pl. 1, f. 2. 
Shell with seven turreted, deeply defined volutions, tapering 
abruptly to an acute apex, and obliquely flattened above; body 
provided with seven strong, transverse ribs, and the volutions of 
the spire with three each; ribs and interstices crossed by fine, 
oblique, longitudinal striae, which are hardly visible without the 
aid of a lens; aperture semi-ovate; pillar lip broadly reflected 
on the columella, behind which is an elongated umbilicus, ex- 
tending nearly to the base of the shell; outer lip thin, and cre- 
nulated on the exterior margin by the ribs. Length upwards 
of half an inch; diameter of body nearly three-eighths. 
Dredged from deep water in Rothesay Bay, by James Smith, 
Esq., of Jordan Hill; and has since been found at Oban, 
Argyleshire, by J. Gwyer Jeffreys, Esq., of Swansea, Wales. 
Genus Buccinum.—(Page 4.) 
10. Buccinum carinatum, pl. LVII, f. 18. 
Buccinum carinatum, Turton, Conch. Dict., p. 13, pl. 26, 
f. 94. 
Shell oblong-oval, turreted; body large, inflated; spire small, 
consisting of five or six flat-sided, abruptly decreasing volutions, 
obliquely flattened above, which, as well as the body, are fur- 
nished with a carinated ridge on their superior margin; sutural 
line of the spire very fine; whole surface of a pale chestnut- 
colour, covered by remote, transverse, parallel, nearly equidistant 
strie, upwards of a quarter of an inch apart from each other, 
crossed by indistinct, irregular, longitudinal wrinkles; aperture 
subovate, dilated, and terminating below in a short canal; outer 
lip somewhat thickened at the edge; inner lip smooth, white, 
and broadly reflected on the columella, with two slight longitu- 
dinal folds on the external side. Length four inches and a 
quarter; breadth two inches and a half. 
Discovered on the strand at Portmarnock, Ireland, by M. J. 
O’Kelly, Esq., and is the specimen from which our drawing was 
made. Dr. Turton says another was dredged at Bray, and has 
also been found at Bulloch, freland, by the late Mr. Tardy. It 
has since been met with at Exmouth. 
This may only be a usus of Buccinwn undatum.
