tentacula however, are rather fliort hi proportion, and a 

 little clavated at the point ; about halfway down is a fort 

 of annulation, from which part it fuddenly increafes in fize, 

 and then continues cylindric to the bafe ; thefe are duflcy 

 behind, continuing in a line on each fide the head, 

 backwards. The colour of tne animal in general, is pale 

 yellowifh, fpotted with cinereous : it is larger in propor- 

 tion to its (liell, than any other fpecies we are acquainted 

 with, the H. giutinofa excepted, not being capable of 

 withdrawing its body within the margin of the aperture.

 when the fliell is lying with its mouth upwards : aperture 

 oval, vaftly large, extending nearly to the apex ; no ac- 

 tual duplicature on the inner lip, nor the leaft inclination 

 to a cavity, or umbilicus ; but the under part of the body 

 is more opaque and v/rinkled, and lefs gloffy for a con- 

 fiderable fpace from the aperture, than any other part 

 of the (hell. Length rather more than half an inch ;
