Many of the Lamellibranchiata are much broken — a few of them 

 nearly destroyed. The Gasteropoda are in much better condition, 

 although many of these are dead or beached shells, and much weathered ; 

 but nevertheless making a valuable addition to the collection, from their 

 authentic labels, and in representing new or obscure genera.
