INTRODUCTION. 21 



Introduced by Colonel Montagu, who found it 

 as British in the Portland Museum ! Mr. Jeffreys 

 adds it to his list, at the same time expressing a 

 doubt, as Mr. Clark had found it among W. Indian 

 shells. It is one of the most common shells in the 

 small boxes from the West Indies, and forms a par- 

 ticular genus of Auricula, characterised by having 

 only a single plait on the front of the pillar.
