PLATE 3. 



Fig. 1. Gryphaa vomer, natural size. 



2. Lateral view of a smaller specimen. 



3. Ammonites Vanuxem,i. Natural size. 



4. Back view of the same specimen. 



5. Pecten quinque costatus. Figured from a cast. Fragments of shells are 



abundant, but too imperfect to figure. 



6. Scalaria annulata. Vide page 281, Vol. XVII. I venture to give this 



shell a specific designation. (Jour. Acad. Vol. VI.) 



7. Ananchytes cinctus. Vide first species of this synopsis, p. 287. 



8. Jlnanchytes cruciferus. 



9. Ananchytes fimbriatus. 



10. Spatangus cor marinum? Parkinson. Vide first species of the synopsis. 



11. Spatangus stella. 



12. Plate of a mammilated Echiniis. 



13. Spine of an Echinus. 



,g' > Terebratula Sayi. 



16. Terebratula Harlani. 



17. Terebratula fragilis. 



18. Vermetus rotula, (vide Spirorbis ? page 282.) I have now no hesitation in 



considering this fossil a Vermetus as defined by Sowerby. 



2q' / Ostrea falcata: a very variable species. 



21. Cucullaa vulgaris. A cast only is figured, on account of the imperfec- 



tion of the shells. 



22. Ostrea crista-galli ? 



The Scaphites Cuvieri, Exogyra coslata, Gryphea convexa and 

 G. mutabilis, are so accurately figured in the sixth Vol. of the Jour- 

 nal of the Academy of Natural Sciences, that I have thought it un- 

 necessary to add them to the annexed plates. 



Art. V. — JVotices of ancient and modern Greece, in a letter to the 

 Editor, from Dr. Samuel G. Howe, dated Isthmus of Corinth, 

 Dec. 20, 1829. 



REMARKS. 



Dr. Howe is so well known to all lovers and admirers of ancient 

 and modern Greece, that any communication from him is sure of 

 being eagerly read. In the hospital and in the field, he has proved 

 himself, in her darkest hours, the devoted friend of Greece ; and his 

 letters have jusdy commanded entire confidence, especially on the part 

 of those who have watched with intense solicitude, the vicissitudes 

 of a struggle, to which even Grecian warfare presents no parallel.
