A most abundant Went Indian shell, introduced by Montagu as 

 fr.om sand in Falmouth harbour. If the name striata, apjylied by 

 Bruguiere to both this and the succeeding sj)ecies, should be retained 

 at all, we think, from his account of the strice, that it should be 

 kept rather for this shell than for the Mediterranean one.

A Mediterranean species, stated to have been dredged (dead) in 

 the Channel by Dr. Turton, tvho was the first to remark its specific 

 distinctness from the precediiig shell. His name, hoivever, is so 

 utterly unsuited to the specific characters, that we have preferred 

 the one soon after applied to it by Chiaje.
