Lamarck.

that this includes the iV, scahra of Lamarck. 

 p. 400. C. tuberculata. According to D'Archiac and Haime (Monogr. 



p. 107), this is probably the same as the N. scabra of Lamarck.

Memoires pour servir h. I'Hist. Nat. et principalement h, 

 I'Oryctographie de Vltalie. 2 vols. 1802. Vol. ii. Mem. sur les 

 Discolithes, pp. 1-137. The Abbe Fortis, in this Memoir on 

 Discolites, treated of all the little fossils then known under the 

 names of " pierres lenticulaires, numismales, frumentaires, heli- 

 cites, et dernierement camerines.^^ He refers to the notice 

 taken of them by Strabo and Pliny, and by Mercati and Lancisi ; 

 and he quotes the opinions held of them by Bourguet, Scheuchzer, 

 Bruckmann, Bromell, Stobseus, Linnaeus, Gesner, Walch, Guet- 

 tard, Targioni-Tozzetti, Strange, Fichtel, DeSaussure, Bruguiere, 

 Cuvier, Lamarck, and G. A. Deluc. He then describes all the 

 forms that he knew, but does not give them binomial appella- 

 tions. The irregularities of form in nearly all are next noticed ; 

 conjectures as to the animal to which they belonged are offered ; 

 and their different modes of fossilization and the chief places 

 where they have been found form the subject of the last chapter.
