A boreal species; introduced as a native of the Orhieys hy 

 Donovan, wliose sj)ecimen still exists in Mr. Hanleys cabinet, and 

 is precisely identical tvith the species figitred and delineated by 

 Goidd as the Donovani of Gray, ivho pronounces it distinct from 

 the B. glaciale, of LamarcTc, of which Chemnitz's figure {Conch. 

 Cab. vol. X. pi. 152,/. 1446, 1447 ; B. carinatum, Phipj^s) may 

 be regarded as the type. The description in the Fauna Suecica, 

 however, applies far better to Donovan's shell, than to the coarsely 

 ridged individual delineated by Chemnitz. 



Note. — The four following shells are evidently the fry of a species of Bucchmm 

 (the two first probably of undatum) or of some allied genus : thej' are so imper- 

 fectly characterized and wretchedly drawn, that we hesitate to refer them to any 

 definite species.
