The Sycotypus or Fig- (hell comes next in order, having its aperture in a line 

 with the axis, and terminated in a narrow produced bill, like the foregoing; but it 

 is neither liped nor toothed, and ftretches commonly from a large fpiral main. The 

 opening of thefe (hells runs generally about two thirds of the whole length, and the 



body, which is roundifh and fwelling, terminates in a moderately prominent apex.

 contracted or producled, but generally terminated in a wide truncated groove or nich 

 as if the top of the aperture had been broke off.
