referred to Martini's figures 82 and 83, both as a Variety of 

 this species and of his P. octoradiata, but ihey appear to 

 me to be quite different from either ; and they answer so 

 imperfectly to the description which has been given of them, 

 that they are hardly worth notice. Scbreibers has errone- 

 ously quoted Martini, f. 79- for P.monopis, and with 82 and 

 83 has constituted his species No. 37. 



SACCHARINA. 17. Shell oblong, angulated, with 

 seven or eight cariiiated obtuse ribs, and the 

 interstices longitudinally striated.

 phrei/s. 

 Shell about an inch long, and three-quarters of an inch broad, 

 of a yellowish or greenish white colour, marbled with red 

 or brown in the interstices of the ribs; the inside is white 

 tinged with blue, and the mark left by the animal at the 

 summit is generally milk-white, with the edge angulated in 

 correspondence with the margin of the shell. Linnaeus says 

 it inhabits Barbadoes ; but this is probably a mistake, owing 

 to a misquotation from Lister. 



ANGULOSA. 18. Shell sub-octangular, thick, depress- 

 ed, with fine somewhat granulated striae, and 

 the spire acute.
