Hall is said to have two, Mr. Jennings one, of which I 
have seen drawings, some of which indicate an emargi- 
nate base: the shape in other respects is so near that it 
might be considered the same: the colour also corres- 
ponds ; the recent one, is, however, finely marked with 
zigzag or lightening-like stripes, of the colour of 
the warmest or darkest line of our figure, and is al- 
together to be admired, so that it has got the appella- 
tion elegans. It is said to be a native of the Fejee 
islands in the south seas. I have seen a recent specimen 
approaching it, with a broad expansion of the outer lip, 
and emarginate base, without coloured markings. 
Fig. 1 is from a young shell by favour of Mrs. Cobbold, 
from Crag-marle at Holywell; fig. 2 from the Rev. Mr. 
Lambert’s specimen; it is, perhaps, the most perfect 
known, and was found in the Cliff at Bawdsey, Suffolk, 
where the Crag lies upon blue Clay. Fig. 3 is the outline 
of a cast, by favour of that gentleman, from Aldborough, 
Suffolk, full twenty miles distant from Bawdsey where 
the other specimen came from. 
I have the pleasure of naming it after the Rev. Mr. 
Lambert, that his ardour and zeal may be remembered 
with gratitude. 
Mr. Parkinson’s figure seems to have been taken from 
a good specimen, but differs from ours in the contour of 
the adherent upper part of the lip. 
Having been favoured with a sketch of the general 
nature of that part of Suffolk where the Crag-marle, more 
or less supplies these, and numerous other vestiges of 
beings, formerly organized; I am glad to lay the instruct- 
ive detail before the public :—“ It is that part of the 
county of Suffolk which, from the comparative lightness 
of the soil, is expressly called the Sands—it abounds 
so much in that species of fossil shell, called Crag shells,
