 and if rendered rough and prickly by sharp points it is muri-

 to fine raised lines, crossing each other, and resembling fine 

 net- work.

By the foregoing general observations and explanations, it 

 is trusted that the reader will be prepared for the following 

 exposition of the general arrangement of Lamarck, and the 

 principles upon which it is founded. 



GENERAL ARRANGEMENT 



ACCORDING TO LAMARCK. 



In Lamarck's " Histoire Naturelle des Animaux sans Ver- 

 tebras," he divides the invertebrata into classes, the 9th, 10th, 

 and 11th of which include animals possessed of shells properly 

 so called. These are the Annelides, the Cirripedes, the 

 Conchifera, and the Mollusc a. 



The class Annelides constitutes the 9th, and is divided 

 into three orders, namely, the " Apodes," " Antennees," and 

 " Sedentaires ;" the last of which, Sedentaria, alone contains 

 testaceous animals. This order includes tubular shells, which,
