A conclusion not unworthy of observation may be 
deduced from this catalogue; namely, that Ceylon was 
the unknown, and hence unacknowledged, source of 
almost every extra-European shell which has been 
described by Linnzus without a recorded habitat. This 
fact gives to Ceylon specimens an importance which can 
only be appreciated by collectors and the students of 
Mollusca. 
2. RADIATA. 
The eastern seas are profusely stocked with radiated 
animals, but it is to be regretted that they have as yet 
received but little attention from English naturalists. 
Recently, however, Dr. Kelaart has devoted himself to 
the investigation of some of the Singhalese species, and 
has published his discoveries in the Journal of the 
Ceylon Branch of the Asiatic Society for 1856-8. Our 
information respecting the radiata on the confines of the 
island is, therefore, very scanty ; with the exception of 
the genera’ examined by him. Hence the notice of this 
extensive class of animals must be limited to indicating 
1 Actinia, 9 sp.; Anthea, 4 sp. ; 
1 sp.; Peechea, 1 sp.; Zoanthura, 
Actinodendron, 3 sp.; Dioscosoma, 
1 sp.
