VoLUTA ScAPHA, ihid n. 12. 



Volute pied-de-biche. Lamarck. 



' In an early part of the present work, our readers were presented 

 with a figure and description of the Chinese variety of this noble 

 volute. The present shell, which is considerably larger, and in some 

 few respects rather different, is also found in the seas of China, but 

 is nevertheless occasionally distinguished from the former kind by 

 the trivial appellation of capensis, or the cape variety of the noble 

 volute, because it is rather more frequently, or at least more easily, 

 obtained from the Cape of Good Hope than from China.
