A most ahundant West Indian shell, introduced hy Montagu as 

 from sand in Falmouth harbour. If the name striata, apjylied b>/ 

 Bruguiere to both this and the succeeding species, shoidd be retained 

 at all, we thinlc, from his account of the strice, that it shoidd be 

 licpt rather for this shell than for the Mediterranean one.

A Mediterranean sjyecies, stated to have been dredged (dead) in 

 the Channel by Dr. Turton, tvho ivas the first to remark its specific 

 distinctness from the preceding shell. His name, however, is so 

 utterly ti7isuited to the specific characters, that we have preferred 

 the one soon after applied to it by Chiaje.
