both recent), one only is recorded in the last edition

 first noticed by M. Duguf, in a garden at Dieppe in 1740 :

 from ! uf Tent-rifle. ' It has also been found.'

 Spain, and more lately in a garden at Bristol. Some spe- 

 rimi-ns from the last-mentioned place have been handed 

 Mr. Miller of that city. It feeds upon earth- 

 worms, having the power of elongating its body to such a 

 'low them in all their subterra- 

 nean windings: we have observed them attentively, and 

 were rather surprised that an animal generally so ex- 

 tremely sluggish in its motions, after discovering its prey 

 by means ol it- tentacula, thrusting from its large mouth 



hite crenulated revolute tongue, should instantly 



upon with extraordinary rapidity, and firmly retain. 

 an earth-worm of much greater size and apparent force 

 than itself, but which by its utmost exertion is unable to 

 escape." Mr. Sowerby adds, that Dr andCuvier 



consider this to be the only carnivorous terrestrial mollusk. 

 De Ferussac remarked that the simple, gelatinous, con- 

 tractile mantle of the animal, hidden habitually under the 

 shell, is divided into many lobes capable of enveloping the 

 whole body by an extraordinary development, when the 

 animal finds it necessary to protect itself from the conse- 

 quences of too great dryness. 



Localities. Testacelliu haliotideus inhabits the South 

 of France ; Test. Maugei is an inhabitant of Tern-rifle, 

 but naturalized at Bristol ; and Test. Srutuliim. which was 

 discovered by Mr. Sowerby in a garden at Lambeth, may, 

 in the opinion of Mr. G. B. Sowerby, be considered as a 

 native of this island.

This compact or covenant was originally entered into

 the attributes of God, so multiformously but at the 

 time so harmoniously manifested. 'Antient prophecy

The leading use of the Old Testament was the prepara- 

 velation of Christianity. Its one great lesson. c\-

 depravity, and weakness of man. How deeply rooted in 

 human conviction was this feeling, may be estimated from 

 the universality of sacrifice for sin, and reliance on (he
