Auris vulpina. Chemnitz, xi. p. 287- t. 210. f. 2086 and 

 2087. 



Inhabits the Island of St. Helena. Chemnitz. 



Shell two inches long, and fourteen lines broad, greyish white, 

 consisting of seven whirls, which are flattened and strongly 

 crenulated on the upper part, immediately below the suture; 

 the aperture is ear-shaped, thickly margined all round, and 

 the pillar is sinuous, but destitute of teeth or any sharp 

 ' angle. Chemnitz considered it very doubtful to which of 

 the Linna?an Genera this singular species should be referred, 

 but though it wants the leading mark of a Voluta, it appears 

 to possess most affinity with the present family. 



auris-cati. 10. Shell oval, with the whirls longi- 

 tudinally plaited ; aperture contracted, with 

 three folds on the pillar, and the lip reflected.
