I have feen of thefe Shells twice bigger than this which is here figured. They are long and 
• narrow compared to the reft of the 7 'ribe. The two Ears are littic and fomething uniikc : 
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 ali, but from a fmooth Point grovv infen- 
fibly rough, and muricated with long and flender and floping Points, after the manner of 
Tiling : the Infide is altogether fmooth. This Shell is moderaiely capacious, in the Fafiiion 
of Spoons in ufe at this Time. 
It is of a iight brownilh fandy Colour. There are many of them colleded in Cabinets.

This is, for the Bignefs, a thicker and ftronger Shell than that of N°. 192. 29. and is alfij 
of a longer Shape and not fo hollow. It hath about eighteen Ridges which are larger than im 
the Scallop mentioned : it is marbled, reddifli and white, and fometimes blueifli j the Ear 
on the left Side is narrower much.

This is the upper Shell, with Teeth, of the Scallop defcribed, 192. 29. where it is to bc 
refered. 
This is the toothlefs and under Shell of a Scallop. The upper Shell hath many very rmalt 
Teeth not only under the Hollow of the Ear, but running alio on the Back of the Ear. The 
Ridges are compounded of - - - - - This Shell is marbled red and white, 
This alfo is the toothlefs and under Shell of a Scallop with a flat Rib ; it is fmooth and 
curioufly marbled with a white and dark hair Colour. 
This is a thin and very ftiallow Scallop, all white, prickly ; on the one Side under the lefier 
Ear, which is on the right Hand, is a long Series or Row of fmall Teeth, a Dozen at leaft in 
Number, which fufliciently diftinguiihes it from ali I have yet feen. This therefore is the 
upper Shell of the Scallop. 
Thele Shells are often larger than that figured, and are common in Cabinets, they are 
moftiy of a red Coral Colour ; the Ear on the left Side (holding the convex Side towards your 
Eyej is much the larger. The Ridges are about nine and are very large, and (which is very 
remarkable) are knotted with large Knots or hollow Blifters ; both the Ridges and Furrows 
are ffriated. It is a fliallow Shell, but moderately heavy and ftrong. 
N. B. This Shell is the toothlefs under Shell. The upper and bigger Shell is marketi 
Tab. 188. 26. and to be here inferted and not to bedisjoined. The difference is that the upper 
Shell hath few or little Blifters, and hath five or fix Teeth under the Hollow of the left Ear. 
I have feen very large ones of this Kind of Scallop in Colledlions. 
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 triple 
Row of Iharp Rifings crofs-ways. In others the Ridges are little or not divided, and the 
Crofs-EIatchings are nigh alfo equally drawn from Side to Side. It is prettily marbled red and 
white ; the Borders of the Infide yellowilh 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 call 
the upper or bigger Shell, hath certain Teeth next under the Ear on the one Side, and that 
Ear therefore is more or lefs hollowcd j alfo the very Nib or Point of the toothlefs Shell is 
moftiy a little fiatter. 
This is the upper Shell with Teeth and belongs to the Scallop defcribed 186. 24. above, 
where it is to be inferted. 
This Shell is frequently to be met with on the Irifli Seas, and on the Welch Coaft. I never 
faw any of them much bigger than that which is figured ^ it is thin, Iight and fliallow ; the 
Ears much of a Bignefs ; it is of a redifli brick Colour, fpotted or marbled with dark brov.'ii 
and whitifh Spots; the Ridges are above twenty, finely ftriated as well as the Furrows betwixr. 
In the Infide of the Shell the Furrows or Hollovvs anfwering to the Ridges on the Outfidc 
are very fliallow and faint. 
N.B. This is the upper or bigger Shell, which I have now defcribed, having never feen a 
Pair. This I have found to be added to our Englifti Stores fince the publifiiing of my Fliftory 
of the Animals of England. This is the toothlefs Shell, and the Ears more alike. There 
is alfo the Figure of the upper or bigger Shell with Teeth next under the Ear, and the Ear 
a little hollowed away. (See 190. 27.) 
This Shell is fmall, varioufly coloured, as red like Coral, yellow, marbled &c : The Ridges 
are about twenty, very diftind, and rifing, but are hatched acrofs; the Furrows are deep and 
ftriated. The two Ears are much of a Bignefs ; and the Shell is thin and moderately hollow or 
capacious j the Furrows in the Infide anfwering to the Ridges on the Outfide are deep, and 
the Sides at right Angles. 
There are many of thefe Shells in the Cabinets of the Curious. This was the bigger or upper 
Shell which is figured, not having feen a Pair.
