CAPRINA: yee 
CAMACE’A. (Camacées, Lam.) A family of the order Conchif- 
era Dimyaria, containing the genera Diceras, Chama, Etheeria. 
CAMERINA. Brug. Nummuuitrzs, Auct. 
CAMIL/LUS. Montf. A genus founded upon a figure in Soldani’s 
Test. Micros. which represents a minute spiral shell with a 
three cornered aperture turned back over the last whorl. 
CAMPULO’TUS. Guetard. Macinus, Auct. 
CANAL. A term used to express the kind of groove or gutter which 
characterizes some spiral univalves, at the union of the inner 
and outer lips at the front part of the aperture. This canal 
is drawn out in some shells to a considerable length, in others it 
is turned over the back. The family Canaliferee, Lam. (fig. 
372 to 401,) are all provided with this canal. 
CANALICULATED. Applied generally to any distinct groove 
or canal. 
CANALIFERA. (Canaliféres, Lam.) A family belonging to 
the order Trachelipoda, Lam. containing the genera Cerithium 
Pleurotoma, Turbinellus, Cancellaria, Fasciolaria, Fusus, Pyrula, 
Struthiolaria, Ranella, Murex, Triton. To which may be added 
Phos, and other genera enumerated in explanation of figures 
372 to 401. 
CANCELLA’RIA. Lam. (From Cancellatus, cross-barred, like 
window frames or net work.) Fam. Canalifera, Lam. Entomo- 
stomota, Bl. Descr. Oval, thick, cancellated; spire generally short, 
pointed; aperture sub-ovate, emarginated anteriorly, pointed 
at the posterior extremity; outer-lip marked within by- trans- 
verse ridges; inner-lip spread over part of the body whorl, ter- 
minating in a straight, thick, obtuse columella, with several 
strong oblique folds. Hab. Indian Ocean, Coast of Africa and 
America. Fossils found in London Clay and Calc-grossiér of 
Paris. Differing from Turbinellus in form and in the transverse 
ridges inside the outer lip. Fig. 385. C. reticulata. 
CAN’CELLATED. (From Cance.xatus, cross-barred.) Applied 
generally to any shells which are marked by ridges crossing 
each other, as Cancellaria, fig. 385. 
CAN’CRIS. Montf. Creripuitma, Bl. A genus of microscopic 
Foraminifera. 
CAN’OPUS. Montf. A genus of microscopic Foraminifera. 
CANTHA’‘RIDUS. Montf. Trocuus Iris, Auct. and analogous 
species. ELencuus, Humphr. 
CAN’THARUS. Montf. A genus of microscopic Foraminifera. 
CAN’THROPES. Montf. Described as like a Nautilus, with 
the whorls increasing so very gradually that the dorsaledge of 
the aperture advances but little beyond the last whorl. This 
is not mentioned in Blainv. or Lamarck. 
CAPITULUM. Gray. Potttcirzs Mitellus, Lam. 
CAPRINA. D’Orb. Diceras, Auct.
