A neat shell of interesting figure, that has been found, though 

 rarely, on the English coasts. The specimens figured in our Plate 

 were discovered on the sands at Brighton by Mr. Munn, who kindly 

 communicated them to us. We have received it since from the 

 coast of Weymouth. 



This is doubtless an undescribed species.
