NOTES AND OBSERVATIO N,S. 
There is another elegant, ftriate, large purplifli Mufcle, which came from CaroUna in the 
weft Indies. This is not near fo deep and concave as the other, but the Strias in this are 
three for one in the former, thcfe Strias alfo are bifid towards the broad End j the infide 
Ihines with a mofi beautiful pearl Colour. 
The firft in the Piate is a thin tranfparent Shell of the Colour of Horn, with here and 
there fmall Prickles ; it is blunt at the broad End ; I take it to be a very young Filh. 
This Shell alfo is very thin and tranfparent, very blunt at the broad End ; yellowifh, dif- 
tinguifhcd crolTways with fine Waves, drawn fmall and thick ; The Shell is Iharp ridged at 
the fmaller End, and very ftrait, with littie or no Sinus. This (371. 212.) is not to be 
diftinguifhed from the former but that it wants the tranfverfe Lines, but hath eminently the 
undulated Waves runninp; lengthwavs, 
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 Murices are twifted into 
Pipes ; where they are not, they are imbricate ; the Neck of this Shell is a littie more 
finuous than the refl; of the Tribe. The Shell is thin to it’s Bulk, and the Bafis is a littie 
produced and round pointed. The middle of this Shell is dark liver Colour, fave where the 
Fifii adhered to the Neck, it is a bright mother of pearl Colour. 
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 ic 
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 littie to a blunt Point. 
This large Tellina is of a Cornelian Colour, very fmooth, and very thick and ponderous 
in thofe of this Growth and Bignefs ; but the lefiTer are thin and light and prettily fafciated, 
at leafl forne of them. 
Tellinis congener Aldro"jandi. 
This Shell feems to be Chamous, or naturally open at both Ends ; it hath a Ridge or a 
depreffed Sinus at the End, where the Hinge is, otherwife it is equally obtufe and broad at 
both Ends, not unlike the Solen Kind, amongfi; which it might be placed ; it is thin and 
hollow and of a brown Colour. I never faw but this one Pair of them in Mr. C.’s Cabinet. 
From the mediterranean Sea. 
I have feen of thefe from Carolina fix Inches long and two Broad. 
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 Colledtion. 
This is a moft beautiful Stone, of Mr. C.’s Colledlion. The Dilference of this Stone and 
the Scallop above (Tab. 187. 25.) is manifold as will appear from the Defeription. In this 
Stone (if it had Ears they are broke ofF) are eighteen Ridges at leall, thefe Ridges confill 
of five fmall Ridges, that in the Middle is very much raifed above the reft and lliarper, be- 
ing fet thick with Iharp 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 with 
fmall Prickles, fo that the Furrow betwixt is very narrow, whereas in the Scallop the Fur- 
rows are very deep and broad. 
This Stone was found at the Chapel at St. Croix near Poitier in France, and is of Mr. C.’s 
Colledlion ; it is very thick and ponderous, it is to be diftinguifhed from the Oifter, for 
that it is of an oblong Figure, the Elinge is very broad, and as it were treble alfo, the Place 
of the Ligament being to the right Hand of the Infide of the Shell, it is therefore the un- 
der and lefler Shell of the Bivalve, and, confequently, if it was our Oifter it fiiould have a 
Row of Knots on each Side the Hinge, ali which it wants, and therefore is a Stone of it’s 
own Kind. 
Found in Lincolnlbire. L. P. 
This Stone is a true Flint ; it is, as it were, the half of a Cockle : it is obliquely fafci- 
ated, having about ten of them, each Lift confifting of a great many other fmaller Lifts 
after the Manner of Hatching. 
This is a very large white chalk or lime Stone. From the Hinge to the Border it lies 
extended much more 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 ftonc 
is fmooth. I have not obferved any of the Shell Kind any ways like it. 
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 Elinge are very wide and large.
