 flat when of the fize of this fliell, has only three or four 

 volutions, but is ftrongly ftriated, and fub-carinated. 

 In this the (Iriae are at all times fcarcely difcerned by 

 the helpof a giafs, and the af)ex is confiderably produ- 

 ced, even in their mod minute ftate, when not fo large 

 as a fmall pin's head ; and the lower volution rounded, 

 without the leaft appearance of a carinated edge.

 near the bafe ; and in that fituation its inhabitant braves 

 equally the fcorching beams of the fun in fummer, and 

 the frigid winds of winter, without attempting to defcend. 



Animal duflcy-black, with four tentacula of the fame 

 colour ; fuperior ones not very long, furniQied with eyes 

 at their tips : fujlcntaculuni fliorter than the (hell.
