656 M^Murtrie's Translation of the Regtie Animal. 



' always' is omitted, which destroys the description. At the 

 32nd line of the same page, we have, " it is observed that the 

 head is always on the side opposite to that to which the spire is 

 directed." Cuvier says (Vol. 3. p. 33.) ' On remarque que le 

 Cwur est toujours,' &c. at page 326 we have " the mantel is pro- 

 longed in a Canal" for i?ito a Canal. At the 12th line of the 

 same page, we have " position" for " direction." At the 14th 

 " spine" for " spire." Cuvier vol. 3. p. 64. speaking of the Bul- 

 la Carnosa, says " son estomac n'est pas plus arme que son man- 

 teau." Its stomach is not more armed thati its mantle, i. e. they 

 are both smooth ; which the translator renders thus, " The only 

 armature of the stomach is the mantle.'''' At page 392, speaking of 

 the Ostracea, it is said, " In the first subdivision there is nothing 

 but a muscular mass reaching from one valve to the other." Cu- 

 vier says, vol. 3 p. " Leur premiere subdivision n' a qu' une masse 

 musculeuse allant d'une valve a, I'autre," has only one muscular 

 mass, &c. Every one who has seen oysters knows there is some- 

 thing in them besides the muscular part. 



As the second vol. of the translation contains no list of errata, 

 I add one to these remarks. It may be useful for a second edition, 

 and even to purchasers of the first.
