4 THE NAUTILUS. 



men of P. syngeues, which I at first described as a variety of 

 muscortim. He says : 



" I am satisfied that it is a species, and not a var. of muscorum : 

 the shape of the whole shell, the last whorl so considerably flattened, 

 and ascending, the number of whorls, seem to me to prove its spe- 

 cifical rank. * ^ * After washing out the aperture of your specimen 

 I saw a rather strong lamella or tooth on the columella, and a 

 barely perceptible trace of an inter-palatal lamella, which however 

 is validified by the impression on the outside."]
