VoLUTIPiE. 
Prof, Troschbl has’ described the radula of the following 
species (/. c. pp. 54-57, pi. 5. figs. 1-5) : — Cymbium olla, Melo 
nautica Voluta (Aulica) nobilis and vespertilio, Bcaphella 
turneri, Volutomitra grbnlandicu, \ the first four agree essen- 
tially with one another, the lamina being tricuspidate, — sub- 
family Cymbiinc^ (H. et A. Ad.). The description of the radula 
of Bcaphella is copied from that given by Gray ; the lamina is 
unicuspidate. The ^’adula of the other species of the subfamily 
Volutins (H. et A. Adams) is not known, nor of any of 
Zidoninee, The radula of Volutomitra is proved to be really the 
one described by Gray ; it has only one lamina in each series, 
which is unicuspidate, thus agreeing with Bcaphella ; but several 
species introduced by H. et A. Adams into this genus are true 
Mitr<B — for example, M, cornea (Lam.), as is proved by the ra- 
dula. [Dr. Morch, Journ. Conch, xv. p. 24*1, doubts if the 
radula represented by Dr. Gray as that of Bcaphella turneri be 
really that of a species of Volutidce, as it has a striking resem- 
blance to that of a Nudibranchiate, Favor inus albus. On the 
other hand. Prof. TroschePs researches confirm the correctness 
of Dr. Gray^s statements.]
