68 Beautiful Shells. 
fish. We have here depicted two of them, namely, 
the Figured Olive, Fig. 3 (Oliva textilina), from 
the Latin textilus, which is woven or plaited; and 
the Ruddy Olive, Fig. 4 (O. sangwinolenta), from 
sanguis—blood. 
We must now bring our notice of the Univalves 
to a conclusion. There are several genera and 
many very curious and beautiful species which 
we have been unable to notice at all, and of those 
which we have, a short account only could be 
given—sufficient, however, as we trust, to interest 
our readers in the subject, and induce them to 
continue the study of it into larger works. Before 
leaving this division of shells, we would call their 
attention to one of its greatest ornaments—that 
is, the Ventricose Harp Shell (Harpa ventricosa), 
from the Latin ventriculus—the stomach, applied 
to this shell on account of its swelled or inflated 
shape. Nothing, however, can be more elegant 
than the whole form, nor more beautiful than the 
markings of this lovely species (see Plate VI., 
Fig. 5), which belongs properly to the Whelk 
family.
