* Montagu's description of 71/. ungidhms is avowedly compiled from foreign 

 authors, and comprises M. achatinus, &c. ; from it, again, is borrowed the 

 diagnosis of the il/. ungulatus in Turton's " Conchologieal Dictionary" (p. 111). 

 We have not seen a specimen quite so large as that delineated by Chemnitz, but 

 have little doubt that his tj^pe (Conch. Cab. vol. viii. p. 176, pi, 84, f. 756) was 

 a large variety of edulis.
