We are now come to a Part of the 

 Mufeum which will, it is imagined, par- 

 ticularly attradl the Attention of the La- 

 dies \ I mean, the recent Shells preferved 

 in this Colledlion : but it v/ill not be 

 pofTible in the Compafs of this fmall 

 Work, to make fuch accurate Remarks 

 on them as is due to the Singularity and 

 Beauty of many here depofited. I muft 

 recommend to my Reader to attend to 

 the Specimens, which are very numerous, 

 as we fhall only notice a few of the m.oil 

 curious under each Title. The Virtuofi 

 may find almofl every Species that is 

 now known among the Univalves and 

 Bivalves, the Multivalves not being yet 

 exhibited to public View in their Order 1 

 but the particularly curious may fee 

 many Specimens of them, if they requeft 

 it of the Officers of the Houfe. 



In the Remarks on this Colle6tion of 

 recent Shells, they will be taken in the 

 G 5 Order
