MOLLUSCA. 
Shell thin, brittle, glossy, semitransparent, subovate; spire 
consisting of three convex volutions, separated by a distinct 
suture, and terminating in a very obtuse apex; aperture sub- 
ovately-trigonal, two-thirds of the entire length, contracted 
above; outer lip with a thin margin, and forming the fourth of 
a circle; inner lip sinous, its superior half formed by the body- 
volution, the inferior by the thin flexous edge of the columella, 
the lower extremity curved to the left in a short and rather 
wide canal; colour pure white. Length upwards of half an

16. Pecten IsaBeLtiz. 
Pecten Isabella, Macgillivray, Moll. Ab., p. 225. 
Shell ovate, rounded, nearly equivalve, slightly convex; 
having twenty-four slender, compressed, rounded ribs, with 
very numerous, thin-edged lamellz, which towards the margin 
are elevated into triangular, compressed, acute spines; the 
interstices with transverse, scalar lamelle; ears yery unequal, 
being in length as one to two, with divergent sulci, transversely 
lamellate, and echinated; margins of the upper valves under 
the auricular process provided with four conical spines, and 
a series is continued on the surface to the umbo, which is 
smooth and glossy ; colour white, lower valve tinged with pink. 
Length three-twelfths of an inch; breadth somewhat less. 
«This most beautiful Pecten cannot be at all confounded 
with Pecten varius or Pecten niveus, to which it is allied in its 
mode of echination.” 
Found by Professor Macgillivray, among Ascidiz and coral- 
lines, from the Aberdeenshire coast. 
Gents Moptota—(Page 77.) 
7- Moprora Battin, pl. XXXVIL, f. 36. 
Shell transversely oblong-ovate; umbones placed very near 
to one side; a slight groove or furrow emanates from the um- 
bones, and terminates in an oblique line on the margin of the 
anterior side, on which the colour is golden-yellow; covered 
with a very glossy, olivaceous epidermis, which in certain lights 
exhibits a metallic lustre; inside highly pearlaceous, with trans- 
verse wrinkles towards the extremity; the surface exhibiting 
gold and coppery metallic reflections, and studded with a num- 
ber of small circular pits, like those left by the small-pox. 
Found at Yougal, by Robert Ball, Esq. 
Genus Crctas—(Page 93.) 
5. Cyctas citrina, pl. XXXVI, f. 37. 
Cyclas flavescens ? Macgillivray, Moll. Ab., p. 246. 
Shell very thin, subdiaphanous, and slightly elliptical; very 
ventricose, a little inequilateral, nearly hemispherical; umbones 
large, prominent, inflated, and rounded; covered with a rather 
dull citron-coloured epidermis, beneath which the surface is 
irregularly and strongly striated concentrically, with two or 
three lines of growth. 
Discovered by Thomas Glover, Esq., of Smedley Hill, Man- 
chester, in the Leven, a little way below the Lake of Winder- 
mere, Westmorland. Length about two and a half eighths of 
an inch. 
This shell differs from Cyclas cornea, in being more orbicu- 
lar, in the umbones being much larger, more prominent, and 
bulging, and it never attains so large a size as that species.
