Virginia, May 12. 1692. 
/ have fent you another parcel of Frefli-water and Land 
Snails, in which I believe fome are new. [And fo there 
was divers Species, all which I have carefully caufed to 
be graved."] There is a fmall one of the Land-kind, with 
a dented Aperture, that I formerly fent ; Time had worn 
that Shell fmooth and white ; but I lately found it with an 
outward Coat, on which it is hirfute , or rather finely 
ecbinated. I am apt to believe that thefe, nor hardly 
any elfe are dented, till they are at their full growth ; 
for you will find fever al fmall ones amongft theje with an 
open entrance, that feem to belong to this kind. 
I hitherto obferved very little Variety of Naked Snails; 
/ know of but one kind, which is a fmall Afh-coloured and 
fpotted one, and milkey like yours, Tit. XVI. but fome of 
thefe Iwonld have fent, but, &c. 
Ifend you the Originals, that yau may Tee I have 
done fairly by my Friend in the Extradfa; which I de- 
fire you to keep among the Society's Papers.
