 evinces. We have indeed to offer some apology on this occasion for 

 passing over the name of the reverend gentleman, the friend and 

 coadjutor of Dr. Maton in the labours of that scientific memoir, but 

 for this we shall atone ere long, having another rarity from the same 

 shores, which also bears a near resemblance to one of our British shells, 

 and to which the name of that worthy friend shall be assigned*
