Observations. 



Mr. G. SowERBY informs me that this species has been 

 lately found fossil with other recent shells, at a slight 

 elevation above the level of the sea near Glasgow. 



Some young individuals at Uddevalla retain their co- 

 lour in great perfection. 



The shell here figured has lost its outer coat, and may 

 perhaps belong to the genus Littorina. 



This shell is very like a worn Scalaria, but perhaps 

 belongs to the genus Turritella. 



This shell is common at Uddevalla, especially at Kured, 

 and differs decidedly from the N. glaucina, having a less 

 flattened spire, and being more ventricose, I presume that 

 it is the N. glaucina of Mr. Hisinger's list of Uddevalla 

 shells. 



Probably Helix laevigata, Mont. An imperfect speci- 

 men. 



Very common. 



Abundant. 



Very abundant, and of large size, and occurs both at- 

 tached to other shells and fixed to the rocks of gneiss, 

 (see p. 25.) 



Mr. Gray informs me that this shell is not noticed by 

 Lamarck, and that it differs from other Balani in the 

 substance of the shells being solid, and the base being 

 only longitudinally grooved on the inner side; also in the 

 side edges of the valves being entire and not crenulated. 

 By the aid of these characters Mr. Gray has formed of 

 this and a few other species which are in the collection 

 of the British Museum, a particular section, to which he 

 has given the name of Chirona. This I presume is the 

 species called B. Uddevallensis in some of the Swedish 

 lists of Uddevalla fossils. It is of great size, frequently 

 three or four inches long. The supports, figs. 38 and 39, 

 were found adhering in great numbers to the' face of the
