NOTES AND O B S E RV AT I O N S. 
Tab. N°, I have feen of thefe Shells twicc bigger than this which is here figured. They are longand 
175. 12. narrow compared to the reft of thc Tribe. The two Ears are littlc and fomething uniike : 
that on the left Side comes more floping down the Side, but it is not more protuberant. 
The Ridges are fmall and numerous, at leaft fixty in all, but from a fmooth Point grow infen- 
fibly rough, and muricatcd with long and flender and floping Points, after the manner of 
Tiling : the Infide is altogether fmooth. This Shell is moderately capacious, in the Faftiion 
of Spoons in ufe at this Time. 
It is of a light brownifti fandy Colour. There are many of them colleded in Cabinets.

179. 16. This is, for the Bignefs, a thicker and ftronger Shcll than that of N°. 192. 29. and is aifa 
of a longer Shape and not fo hollow. It hath about eighteen Ridges which are larger than m 
tlie Scallop mentioned : it is marbled, reddifti and white, and fometimes blueifn ; the £ar 
on the left Side is narrower much.

182. 19. This is thc upper Shell, with Tecth, of the Scallop defcribcd, 192. 29. where it is to be 
refered, 
183. 20. This is the toothlefs and under Shell of a Scallop. The upper Shell hath many very fmaJl 
Teeth not only under the Hoilow of thc Ear, but running alfo on the Back of the Ear. Thc 
Ridges are compounded of This Shell is marbled red and white. 
184. 21. This alfo is the toothlefs and under Shell of a Scallop with a flat Rib j it is fmooth and 
curioufly marbled with a white and dark hair Colour. 
185. 22. This is a thin and very fliallow Scallop, all white, prickly ; on the one Side under the lefter 
Ear, which is on the right Hand, is a long Serics or Row of fmall Teeth, a Dozcn at leaft in 
Number, which fufficiently diftinguiflies it from all I have yet feen. This thereforc is thc 
iipper Shell of thc Scallop. 
i85. 24. Thefe Shells are often larger than that figured, and are common in Cabinets, they arc 
moftly of a red Coral Colour ; the Ear on the left Side (holding the convex Side towards your 
Eye) is much the larger. The Ridges are about nine and are very large, and (which is vcry 
remarkable) are knotted with large Knots or hollow Blifters : both the Ridges and Furrows 
are ftriated. It is a ftiallow Shell, but modcrately heavy and ftrong. 
N.B. This Shell is the toothlefs under Shell. The upper and bigger Shell is markcd 
Tab. 188. 26. and to be here inferted and not to bedisjoined. The difference is that the upper 
Shell hath fcw or little Blifters, and hath five or fix Teeth under the HoIIow of the left Ear. 
I have feen very large ones of this Kind of Scallop in Colledlions. 
187. 25. This is a very beautiful Shell, but very common in all Colleflions ; it hath about fourteen 
Ridges, thefe Ridges are very remarkable, in moft triple, and thick hatched with a triplc 
Row of fliarp Rifings crofs-ways. In others the Ridges are little or not divided, and the 
Crofs-Hatchings are nigh alfo equally drawn from Side to Side. It is prcttily marbled red and 
white ; the Borders of the Infidc yellowifli or of a gold Colour. This Shell is but fhallow. 
N.B. It is very remarkable that in many Scallops one of the two Shells, which we will cal! 
the upper or bigger Shell, hath certain Teeth next undcr the Ear on the one Side, and that 
Ear therefore is more or lefs hoUowed ; alfo the very Nib or Point of the toothlefs Shell is 
moftly a little flattcr. 
188. 26. This is the uppcr Shell with Teeth and belongs to the Scallop dcfcribed 186. 24. above, 
where it is to be inferted. 
191. 28. This Shell is frequently to be met with on the Irifli Seas, and on the Welch Coaft. I ncver 
faw any of them much bigger than that which is figured ; it is thin, light and fliallow ; the 
Ears much of a Bignefs ; it is of a redifli brick Colour, fpotted or marbled with dark brown 
and whitlfli Spots ; the Ridges are above twenty, finely ftriated as well as the Furrows betwixt. 
In the Infide of the Shell the Furrows or Hoilows anfwering to the Ridges on thc Outfidc 
are vcry fliialiow and faint. 
N.B. This is the upper or bigger Shell, which I have now defcribed, having nevcr feen a 
Pair. This I havc found to bc addcd to our Englifli Stores fince thc publifliing of my Hiftory 
of the Animals of England. This is the toothlefs Shell, and the Ears more alike. Therc 
is alfo the Figure of the uppcr or bigger Shell with Teeth next under the Ear, and the Ear 
a little hollowed away. (See 190. 27.) 
•192. 29. This Shell is fmall, varioufly coloured, as red like Coral, ycllow, marbled &c: The Ridges 
are about twenty, very diftind, and rifing, but are hatchcd acrofs; the Fufrows are deep and 
ftriated. The two Ears are muchof aBignefs; and the ShcU is thin and moderately hollowror 
capacious ; the Furrows in the Infide anfwering to the Ridgcs on the Outfide arc deep, and 
the Sidcs at right Angles. 
There are many of thcfe Shclls in thc Cabinets of the Curious. This was the bigger or upper 
ShcU which is figured, not having fecn a Pair. ^
