NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 5 
Tab. N°. 
358. 196. There is another elegant, ftriate, large purplilh Mufcle, which czme frotn Carolzm in the 
weft Indies. This is not near Ib deep and concave as the other, but the Scrias in this are 
three for one in the former, thefe Strias alfo are bifid tovvards the broad End ; the infide 
fliines with a moft beautiful pearl Colour. 
370. 210. The firft in the Plate is a thin tranfparent Shell of the Colour of Horn, with here and 
there fmall Prickles ; it is blunt at the broad End j I take it to be a very young Fifti. 
370. 2d. This Shell alfo is very thin and tranfparenr, very blunt at the broad End ; yellowifti, dif- 
tinguiftied crofivvays with fine Waves, drawn ftnall and thick : The Sheli is fharp ridged at 
the fmaller End, and very ftraic, with little or no Sinus. This (371. 212.) is not to be 
diftinguiftied from the former but thac it wants the tranfverfe Lines, but hath eminently the 
undulated Waves running lengthways. 
373. 214. This Shell is figured as big as the Life-, the only one of the Kind that I have feen, it is 
of a dark liver Colour : From the fmall End and downwards run feven or eight Rowes of 
high, thick, and hollow Pipes blunt at the End ; thefe concave Muriccs are twifted into 
Pipes ; where they are not, they are imbricate ; the Neck of this Shell is a little more 
finuous than the reft of the Tribe. The Shell is thin to it's Bulk, and the Bafis is a littlc 
produccd and round pointed. The middle of this Shell is dark liver Colour, favc where the 
Fifti adhered to the Neck, it is a bright mother of pearl Colour. 
374. 215. This is the common Pinna of the mediterranean Sea, there are of them of a vaft Magni- 
tude. The fmall End is high ridged from whence the tranfverfe Waves begin, and are as it 
were imbricated, lying above the Shell like Scales, in a pretty undulated and indented Man- 
ner, but without much Order and Exadnefs ; it is of a dark hair Colour, the broad End is 
about the middle extended a little to a blunt Point. 
386. 233. This large Tellina is of a Cornelian Colour, very fmooth, and very thick and ponderous 
in thofe of this Growth and Bignefs ; but the lefter are thin and light and prettily fafciated, 
at leaft fome of them. 
417. 261. Tellinis congener Aldrovandi. 
421, 265. This Shell feems to be Chamous, or naturally open at both Ends ; it hath a Ridge or a 
deprefled Sinus at the End, where the Hinge is, otherwife it is equally obtufe and broad at 
both Ends, not unlike the Solen Kind, amongft which ic might be placed ; it is thin and 
hollow and of a brown Colour. I never faw but this one Pair of thcm in Mr. C.'s Cabinet. 
From the mediterranean Sea. 
434. 277. I have feen of thefe from Carolina fix Inches long and two Broad. 
469. 27. b. This is a very large Stone, and feems to have had Ears on each Side : there about twenty 
Ridges fmooth and round, which yet are very fmall, if compared to the Furrows, which 
are wide and deep. One Side of the Stone (for it was an entire Bivalve) feemed to be fome- 
thing flatter than the other. This out of Mr. C.'s CoIIeftion. 
470. 28. This is a moft beautiful Stone, of Mr. C.'s CoIIcdion. The DiflTerence of this Stone and 
theScallop above (Tab. 187. 25.) is manifold as will appear from the Defcription. In this 
Stone (if it had Ears they are broke off") are eighteen Ridges at leaft, thefe Ridges confift 
of five fmall Ridges, that in the Middle is very much raifed above the reft and fliarper, be- 
ing fet thick with fliarp Points ; on each Side of it are Rows of fmall Points or Prickles 
thick fet : and on each Side are two Ridges funk lower into the Furrows, thick fet alfo vvith 
fmall Prickles, fo that the Furrow betwixc is very narrow, whereas in the Scallop the Fur- 
rows are very deep and broad. 
478. 35. This Stone was found at the Chapel at St. Croix near Poitier in France, and is of Mr. C.'s 
ColIe6lion ; it is very thick and ponderous, it is to be diftinguiflicd from the Oifter, for 
that it is of an oblong Figure, the Hinge is very broad, and as it were treble alfo, the Place 
of the Ligament being to the right Hand of the Infidc of che Shell, ic is therefore che un- 
der and lefler Shell of the Bivalve, and, confequently, if it was our Oifter it fliould have a 
Row of Knots on each Side the Hinge, all which it wants, and therefore is a Stone of ic's 
own Kind. 
486. 42. Found in Lincolnfliire. L. P. 
489. 45. This Stone is a true Flint ; it is, as it were, the half of a Cockle : it is obliquely fafci- 
ated, having about tcn of them, each Lift confifting of a great many other fmaller Lifts 
after the Manner of Hatching. 
491. 47. This is a very large white chalk or lime Stone. From the Hinge to the Border it lies 
extended much morc lengthways ; the Streaks of the Hinges are neatly turned in again, 
running along the Border a pretty Waving for about fixteen Courfes, all the reft of the ftone 
is fmooth. I have not obferved any of the Shell Kind any ways like it. 
494. 50. This Stone is of a dark brown Colour ; it is an intire Bivalve, the Valves are awry, as it 
were, rather than cruftied ; the Bafis or Border running into an -Angle, the Streaks are fmall 
and eminent ; the Sinus's on each Side the Hinge are vcry wide and large.
