An exotic sjyecies, introduced hy Pennant, of which a single 

 individual was obtained hy Montagu in Falmouth Ilarbotu: 

 Touching this last locality, so frequently quoted hy our earlier 

 writers for doubtfully indigenous species, we fully agree with Mr. 

 Alder, who, referring to the large quantity of foreign ballast con- 

 tinually throivn into it, observes, " that no dependence can be 

 placed on the indigenousness of any shell, which has solely been 

 found in that harbour." As there are at least two varieties f?J of 

 the Lamarclcian Sanguinolaria rugosa, besides the S. dichotoma 

 (Chemnitz, Conch. Cab. vol. vi. pi. 9,f. 83, J which has justly been 

 held specifically distinct hy Anton (Verz. Conch, p. 4: J, toe may 

 remark that our pseudo-British one is the West Indian and South 

 American shell, tvhich differs from the Oriental individuals, among 

 other respects, in being less inequilateral, less coarsely and more 

 crou'dedly ribbed, and in having the lower or ventral margin much 

 less arcuated.
