MOLLUSCA.

" This very elegant species in shape very much resembles a 

 small Bulla lignaria ; but is of a more conic oval shape, with 

 the volutions more loosely connected; the crown is umbilicated, 

 and, together with the pillar, pure white. On the body are 

 regular, rather broad, alternate, transverse bands of white and 

 pale rufous brown; and round each of the white belts is a regu- 

 lar line of very minute, raised granular dots. 



" Found near the Land's End." In the cabinet of Mr. 

 Clark.

 van, pi. 88; Montagu, p. 217; Lamarck, VI, pt. 2nd, p. 35; 

 Fleming, Brit. An., p. 292. 



Shell somewhat opaque, tumid, no apparent spire, but in its 

 stead an umbilicated hollow, slightly oval, thin, fragile, subpel- 

 lucid, of a yellowish, or greenish horn-colour, with a thin, 

 transparent, ferruginous epidermis ; superior portion of the 

 aperture oblong, rising above the body, and rounded, a little- 

 contracted at the top, and widening below, where it terminates 

 in a rounded base ; outer lip thin, slightly inflected ; inner lip 

 white, a little reflected on the columella ; whole surface with 

 fine transverse striae, and remote longitudinal lines of growth. 

 Length an inch ; breadth three-quarters. 



Found at Weymouth and Poole, Dorsetshire; Salcomb Bay, 

 Devonshire ; and is not uncommon on the Western coast. 



5. Bulla producta, pi. XIX, f. 15, 16 First Ed., pi. 



38, f. 15, 16. 



Shell subcylindrical, very pellucid, white, smooth, and glossy; 

 spire concealed, subumbilicate ; aperture narrow, terminating 

 in a rather acute base ; outer lip very thin, rising considerably 

 above the body, and somewhat pointed; a few obsolete wrinkles 

 above. Length not a tenth of an inch ; breadth hardly a third 

 of its length. 



Found at Dunbar, by my late friend General Bingham, and 

 is in his cabinet. 



6. Bulla striata, pi. XIX, f. 41, 42 First Ed., pi. 38,

Shell oblong-oval, inflated, white, and opaque ; spire con- 

 cealed, and subumbilicate ; aperture a little contracted above, 

 widening below, and terminating in a rounded base ; outer lip 

 smooth, thin at the edge, elevated a little above the body ; 

 inner lip thickened, and slightly folded back towards the base, 

 producing a small subumbilicus behind, and somewhat dupli- 

 cated ; whole surface covered with minute, undulating, trans- 

 verse striao, the intermediate ones finer than the others, with a 

 few, nearly obsolete, longitudinal lines of growth. Length not 

 quite three-eighths of an inch ; breadth two-eighths. 



Found at Greenock, by my friend Stewart Ker, Esq., to 

 whose zeal we are indebted for the discovery of several rare 

 and interesting species.

 Rackett, p. 122. 



Shell oblong, smooth, glossy, pellucid, white ; aperture con- 

 tracted above, and considerably expanded beneath ; outer lip 



terminating in a sharp, tooth-like process, and extending some- 

 what above the body. 



Found in sand at The Wash, coast of Pembroke, by Mr. 

 Adams. It seems a rare species.

9. Bulla Cranchii. 



Bulla Cranchii, Leach ; Fleming, Brit. An., p. 292. 



Shell subcylindrical, apex concave, strongly striated, spirally, 

 in bands ; aperture narrow ; outer lip thin, nearly even ; pillar 

 lip straight, a little reflected, and forming a slight cavity, and is 

 somewhat waved where it joins the outer lip. Length six- 

 tenths of an inch ; diameter four-tenths. 



Found in Plymouth Sound, by Mr. Prideaux. 



The aperture being so narrow, renders the continuation of 

 the pillar invisible. 



Sub-Genus 2. — Bulljea Lamarck. 



Shell very thin, destitute of epidermis, and concealed in the 

 mantle of the animal; somewhat involute on one side, and 

 without a columella or spire ; aperture large and wide.

Shell compressed, suborbicular, milk-white, very thin, pellu- 

 cid, and brittle ; body slightly involute in front, very small, 

 destitute of a spire, and not umbilicate above ; aperture ex- 

 tremely large and expanded, occupying nearly the whole shell ; 

 outer lip semicircular, very thin at the edge, and elevated con- 

 siderably above the body; columellar lip very short and narrow; 

 external surface glossy, with faint longitudinal lines of growth. 

 Length one inch ; breadth three-fourths ; but it is only in par- 

 ticular localities where it attains this size. 



Not uncommon on many of the coasts of Great Britain and 

 Ireland; we may particularise Dorsetshire, South Devon, Corn- 

 wall, Northumberland, Tenby, Frith of Forth, and Dublin Bay.
