 iiecefiarily hurt them) to make obfervations, 

 ifpoflible, of their motions, ways of life, 

 &c. and fom.e defcriptions of them ; for 

 univalves, principally, if with or without 

 horns, their figure and fituation, and the 

 form of the pedeftals, &c. Iti regard to bi- 

 valves, I do not find any particular part is 

 eafily obfervable, that is, without anatomy; 

 therefore the whole form, colour, and 

 other remarkable and very obvious parts, 

 are only neceflary to be defcribed. Thefe 

 obfervations are pretty eafily made, and 

 without any great afliduity ; but, (hould 

 the perfon who collects them be of a cu- 

 rious and inquifitive nature, he may pufh 

 his refearches to what extent he pleafes, 

 to the advantage of Natural Hiftory. 



Live Shells may be fiflied up by drag- 

 nets, the log-line in founding, the cable 

 in weighing anchor, or fuch-like workings,
