  L. 
  corneus 
  of 
  Morch 
  has 
  still 
  slighter 
  grounds 
  to 
  rank 
  as 
  a 
  

   distinct 
  species, 
  being 
  founded 
  upon 
  the 
  figures 
  of 
  Adams 
  

   and 
  Woodward 
  of 
  L. 
  Philippii. 
  Why 
  Morch 
  thought 
  that 
  

   those 
  figures 
  did 
  not 
  correctly 
  represent 
  the 
  Mediterranean 
  

   species 
  it 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  say 
  ; 
  I 
  can 
  only 
  remark 
  that 
  on 
  

   comparing 
  them 
  with 
  Sicilian 
  shells 
  they 
  more 
  closely 
  

   resemble 
  them 
  than 
  do 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  figures 
  which 
  are 
  admitted 
  

   by 
  Morch 
  to 
  illustrate 
  the 
  true 
  L. 
  Philippii.

  This 
  species 
  (?) 
  is 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  

   lobe 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  that 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  being 
  situated 
  more 
  for- 
  

   ward 
  than 
  that 
  on 
  the 
  left. 
  The 
  shell 
  offers 
  no 
  tangible 
  

   differences 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  Mediterranean 
  species. 
  Consider- 
  

   ing 
  how 
  uncertain 
  are 
  the 
  presence 
  and 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  para- 
  

   podia, 
  there 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  insufficient 
  grounds 
  shown 
  at 
  present 
  

   for 
  specifically 
  separating 
  this 
  form 
  from 
  L. 
  Serradifalci.

  This 
  species, 
  according 
  to 
  Pease, 
  has 
  two 
  instead 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  

   pair 
  of 
  tentacles 
  and 
  is 
  differently 
  coloured 
  from 
  the 
  Sicilian 
  

   form. 
  The 
  shell 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  similar 
  in 
  both.
