The following Notes and Observations were written by Dr. Lifter in a 
Copy of this Work ( confifting chiefly of Proof Plates) now in the 
Pofieflion of Mr. Ingham Forjier^ Merchant in London^ by whom it 
was moft obligingly communicated to the Editor. A. D. 1769.

572. 23. 1^ HIS, probably, is a Sea Shell; having feen Barnacle Shells adhere to it, and thcrefore 
is to be removed from this Tribe. ( N. B. In fome of the firft Imprefficns it was placed 
among the Land Snails.)

65. 63. This Shell is very thin and brittle ; of a Stone Colour : the Navel or Hollow m the Centre 
is deep, and it rifeth up high from the Edges, in which it very much differs from ali the reft 
of this Tribe. The Shell is circumfcribed by a very fharp and prominent Edge, the under- 
neath by a Wreath not quite flat, but a little convex, and are four in Number. It was fent 
from Jamaica by Dr. Sloatie. 
*58. 13. This Shell is very thick and ponderous, very fmooth on the outfide and of a yellowifh green 
Colour, not unlike the frelh-water Mufcle Shell, poffibly it may be owing to that Tribe, tho’ 
of an uncommon Make and Figure, I never faw but this one Shell and that in Mr. C.’s 
Colledion.

165. 2 . This Scallop is much Icfs than the former; otherwife it is, in many Things, much like it, 
that being ever of a Stone Colour ; it differs in that it is redifh and curioully marbled, both 
about the Bottom and on the upper Part of the bigger Shell : aifo it agrees in the Hollownefs 
of the leffer or under Shell, fo as to be dilhed outwardly ; in the number of Ridges, which 
are in this about fourteen ; alfo in the oblique Notches upon the Hinge ; which yet in this 
feem to be more than in the former, as is expreffed in the next Draught. T. 166. 
166. 3. In this alfo the Channells are fmooth and without ftreaked, whereas the Channells of the 
Englifh Shell are as thick and deep ftreaked as the Ridges. Again the Sides of thcfe Ridges 
in this Shell are more at right Angles ; whereas in that they are flatter. 
167. 4. This is the biggefl Scallop I have feen; it is alfo thick and heavy; it was of a bue clay 
Colour, but it was apparently old and weather beaten, fo that the natural Beauty of the living 
Fifh was perifhed. It is but fhallow. It has but ten Ridges ; but the Furrows betwixt them 
are vejy deep, and cut down almofl at right Angles ; at the very Head of the Shell, betwixt 
the Eares, the Furrows are very deep, though fmali, and end all in a Foint very elegant ; 
whereas in the two former Shells the Heads are fmooth, and the Ridges and Furrows in that 
Part are almofl obliterated. The Ridges and Furrows here are all of them curioufly flreaked. 
A good Inch from the Bottom of the Shell the Ridges and Furrows become fuddenly of an- 
other Fafhion and Grain, and are, as it were, tranfverfly waved and fmooth. 
I never faw but two of thefe, and they were both bigger or upper Shells of the Scallop. 
N.B. That is a Fault in the Engraver to have made the Ridges towards the Head a little 
crooked, whereas they lie all very ftrait and run to a Point, 
170. 7, This is theonly Scallop of the Kind that I have feen in Mr. C.’s Colledion. 
It is deep and hollow ; thin and light ; the Ears exadlly alike : it hath eighteen Ridges, 
all which are of a dark heavy Colour almofl black ; the Furrows are all white, and both the 
Ridges and Furrows are fmooth and not at all flriated ; the Extremities of the Ridges are 
notched very remarkably, not enough expreffed in the Figure. 
171. 8. This is a v/hice Shell (I never faw but one of them in Mr. Cbarlton"^ Colledlion) fhallow, 
wich four large Rifings or Ridges, befides other fmaller : on the left Fland the Ear had under 
it a Rov/ of fmali Teeth that were in a Manner wholly defaced.

174. II. This Shell is rare and few of them are to be met with in the Cabinets of the Curious. 
It is very fiat and hollow, and yet the one Side is much flatter than the other, efpecially at the 
Head, which I have caufed alfo to be drawn from a very perfed pair : (See 175. 12.) This 
Scallop is more Long than Broad having thirteen or fourteen Ridges very round and rifing ; 
the Ears are on both Sides large, but not altogether alike, being aThought larger on the right 
Hand : we fpeak of the uppermofl or bigger Shell which is now figured in this Piate. 
Moft that I faw were white, but the neithermoft Shell of one Pair was fpotted with a dark 
hair Colour.
