have been much pressed on by surrounding bodies; and this has 

 probably prevented the proper development of the fringe of tentacles 

 to the edge of t lie mantle. The valve- are of the same form, and 

 exposed as in thai genus. In one of our specimens ol Warnea 

 vaginifera from the Red Sen, sent with the others by Miss Warne, 

 the fringe is eery imperfectly developed, and form- a passage to the 

 shell in Mr. Cuming s collection. 



2. Aspergillus!. 



The edge of the top of the siphon not expanded. Umbo and great 

 part of the valves exposed. Tube conical, tapering to a simple, 

 rather compressed siphonal end. Fringe distinct, formed of a single 

 series of elongated united tubes that are repeatedly forked. Tin 



tubes smooth externally.

PeniciUus javanus, Bruguiere {Aepergillum javanum of Lamk. 

 and Deshayes), included all the Watering-pot shells with a distinct 



frill and without any ruffles at the siphonal aperture. 



Dillwyn observes, "This shell when perfeci is nearly s foot !< 

 and more than an inch in diameter at the dilated summit." This 

 i> far larger than any AspergiUum Listeri I have seen : it tits better 

 Wuriit'ii vaginifera; but that Bpecies was not known until the 

 French expedition into Egypt. 



Gumner (in the Drontneim GeseDsch. Bchrift. iv. t. I. f. d-1 I ) 

 figured the perforated terminal disk of this shell ai 

 under the name of M. causia. Guettard (Mem. iiL 55 "" t. 1) 

 figured the tube of a Bpeciet as s kind of Uunode.
