V. with a finooth, glofTy, wliite, cylindric fliell : upper 

 volution extremely fmall, and fcarcely defined by a fepa- 

 rating line: apexohtuk : aperture narrrow, extendingnear 

 the length of the fliell, fpreading a little at the bafe; 

 outer lip thin: Columella plicated, with four Ihong folds. 

 Length half an inch; breadth a quarter. 



It is very extraordinary Da Costa (liould have made 

 this the Bulla cylindracea of the Britijh Zoology, a (hell 

 neither convoluted nor plicated on the Columella. Mr. 

 Pennant exprefsly fays, his f]":ell is umbilicated at the 

 end: a charatler fufficient to diflinguifh it from this. 



T\\t.V. pallida \s, certainly a very rare fpecies on the 

 Britijh coaft. Da Costa mufl have been mifinfonned 

 with refpeft to its being found plentiful on the weliern 

 coafts, for not a fingle fpecimen has ever come within our 

 frequent refearches in thofe parts; nor does Doftor Pul- 

 TENEY mention it in his CatalogiLC of Dorjeljiare Shells. 

 Mr. Adams, however, notes it from Tenby. 



This fhell is of a finer polifli, and fmoother than the 

 Bulla cylindracea ; broader in proportion to its length, 

 the aperture not (o much contrafted. and is at once dif- 

 tinguifhed by the true characters of a Valuta.
