anterior angles a little dilated. Operculum long and slender, attached 
by a muscular pedicle, which is white, dotted black. 
The specimens here referred to were obtained at Honden Island, and 
are of a small and very solid variety, and very much eroded. ‘The ani- 
mal was very sluggish. [J. P.c.]

A, f. 2. 
Anima clouded dark bistre on an ochreous ground over the body ; 
head and siphon the same, their extremities dull red; under side of 
foot dark smoky-brown, except down the middle, where it is dull 
ochreous, and the portion above the transverse fissure in front, which 
is dark red; the tentacles are opaque-white, with the eyes near their 
tips. Foot broad and fleshy, the anterior angles a little prolonged 
laterally. Siphon large at base; motions quite rapid, the animal 
gliding along nearly as fast as Littorina. Operculum small, unguicu- 
late, clear brown, about one-tenth of an inch from the tip, projecting a 
little obliquely towards the spire somewhat beyond the foot. 
The animal of this variety, which was found on a coral ledge at the 
Island of Clermont Tonnerre, differs somewhat from the figure given 
of it in the Voyage of the Astrolabe, pl. 52, f. 5. [. P. c.]
