fpecimen for defcription, and at the lame time aflured us 

 that it is the fame fpecies Doctor Solander had denominated 

 Cardhim edenliila ; for which reafon, and from its refem- 

 blance to Caidium lavigatum, ^^'e have thought proper to 

 continue it by that name. 



Fasciatcm. Shell fub-orbicular, fub-pellucid, with about twenty-feven 

 Tab. 27, f. C. finooth, glofly, flattened nbs, flightly tuberculated at the 

 fliorter fide, and fometimes round the margin : the colour 

 rufous-white, with three or four rufous-brown JafciiC, moft 

 iirongly marked at the longer fide, and ufually better de- 

 fined in the infide of the fliell, where the ribs are alfo 

 obvious. Lenuth rarely exceeding three-eighths of an inch ; 

 breadth ra her fuperior. 



This fhell has long been known on the CorniJIj, Devon, 

 and other coafts, and had been confidered as probably a 

 diftin^l fpecies, yet we hefitated giving it as fuch before ; 

 but as time and long experience have not brought to light 

 any fpecies of larger fize, of which this might be confidered 

 the young, and as we find Mr. Laskey and Mr. Henry Boys 

 (who found it on the Scoti/Ij fhores ) , and other conchological 

 friends agree in opinion that it is difiindl from any fpecies 

 hitherto defcribed, we venture, upon thefe grounds, to add 

 it to our catalogue.
