that time we should have had little to glean; but size and colour 
were more regarded then, so that the smaller shells or the unat- 
tractive shells were left for the scientific gleaners. 
In the list I have given of the shells with pre-Lamarckian 
names there are none which may not have come from Australia, as 
they are equally common there, and two, as we have seen, extend 
to the Indian Ocean. One, Patella radians, Gmelin, cannot be 
made out at all, unless I am right in supposing that it is one of 
the many varieties of Quoy’s Acmea septiformis. (Patelloidea s.
