292 SPECIES EXCLUDED FROM

 considered as natives : among them must be recorded *, —

For the same reason no notice is taken in the body of the 

 work of the following species, which have been included among 

 the British by one or more preceding authors, on what I am 

 inclined to regard as insufficient authority. 



Several of these have doubtless been introduced, by mistake 

 for some other nearly allied British species; and others have 

 been described from specimens which have been accidentally 

 intermixed with British shells in the cabinets of careless col- 

 lectors ; but it is also to be feared that some have been wilfully 

 palmed upon us by unprincipled persons, who wished to gain 

 ci-edit for their discovery, and to enrich their cabinets with 

 foreign species, for which they, at the same time, coined British 

 habitats, sometimes not even consistent with their proper station. 

 It is curious that the persons who have been most addicted to
