Dr. Lifter to Mr. Ray. 



Dear SIR, 



I Am well pleafed you like the fable of Snails: 

 Some things I have thought fit to alter fince they 

 were fent up 3 particularly the Title of the third 

 Snail, which I now call (after a great Collecti- 

 on of them) by this Title, which I think will 

 comprife all the Difference, Cochlea citrina aut leuco- 

 fhtea unkolor, vel unica, vel 2, vel 3, w/ 4, pie- 

 rumqi verb quinis fafciis pullis diftinEla. Again, fome 

 of the Figures are unhappily miftaken by the Graver, 

 which 1 hope to get corrected 5 particularly the 19, 

 which I guefs to be that you mean by your Nerites 

 Fluviatilis. This I fay, if any, is that you mean $ 

 but I hope yours is a new Species. I have my felf 

 figured it by the Life, and indeed it was as truly de- 

 figned before in the Defign j but I know not how 

 monftroufly miftaken by the Graver in the Plate. 

 'Tis true, the fecond is that you and I found about 

 Montpelier 3 but I have found it in divers Places in 



England
