224 Anchysis of Periodical JVuris 



longs to the fliiviatic genus Melania ; and the ch'cumstance of 

 itsbehig found in the fresh-water formationof the Isle of Wight, 

 appears to us conckisive on this subject. 



PI. 367 contains Trochus nodulosiis of Brander, given un- 

 der the name of T. moniUfer. Mr. S. observes that Lamarck's 

 T. monilifer is distinct from Brander's nodidosiis, vv^hich last is 

 the shell here figured. It would therefore have made the sub- 

 ject somewhat clearer, if Brander's and not Lamarck's name 

 had been followed; because, although Lamarck considered both 

 these shells the same, it would appear he is in error. Brander's 

 original name, therefore, should have been preserved. Never- 

 tlieless, the four figures on the plate are so characteristic of the 

 species, that little difficulty will arise hereafter in ascertaining 

 to which species they really belong. 



PI. 368. Gryphcea bidlata : a new species from tlie clunch 

 clay near Horncastle in Lincolnshire, approaching very near to 

 Ostrea, but more closely to the genus under wliich Mr. Sowerby 

 has placed it. Gryphaea vesiculosa on the next plate occurs 

 near Warminster, and PI. ^10 conXaxns Pecten aspe)-; both from 

 the green sand. PI. 371 is Pecten cinctus, found in the allu- 

 vial clay of Suffolk, &c.

 rodendron squamatum. Vahl ( Volkameria Kcempferi. Willd. Sp. 

 PL 3. 385.) a magnificent shrub; which, from its size and

 charmingly represented on a quarto plate. 



PI. 65L Pynis co7-ona7-ia, oi' Li'mn. and Willd.: a beautiful

 a native of China. The characters are, — R. foliis elongato-lan- 

 ceolatis, panicula subcorymboso-fastigiante, petalis denies 

 calycis aequantibus, staminibus coarctatis calyce aliquantum
