 be of a mottled, muddy green color, but when the Mollusk is

We feel that we are but rendering justice to Mr. Morse, in 

 saying that never before have such important results of minute 

 and patient study appeared in any American volume on Con- 

 chology, of the small dimensions of the one before us. 



This work is a substantial advance in conchological sci- 

 ence, and should stimulate us all to renewed, painstaking re- 

 searches, even upon the species which, have been supposed to 

 be well known to us. 



Mr. Morse being an artist as well as a Conchologist, has 

 depicted, not only the shells of many of the species, but in 

 most cases has illustrated their buccal plates, and frequently 

 their lingual dentition. 



* We very much doubt if Sue. Texasiana inhabits the Bermudas. Proba- 

 blj some other species is alluded to.
