Hall is said to have two, Mr. Jennings one, of which I 
have seen drawings, some of which indicate an emargi- 
nate base : the shape in other respects is so near that it 
might be considered the same : the colour also corres- 
ponds ; the recent one, is, however, finely marked with 
zigzag or lightening-like stripes, of the colour of 
the warmest or darkest line of our figure, and is al- 
together to be admired, so that it has got the appella- 
tion elegans. It is said to be a native of the Fejee 
islands in the south seas. I have seen a recent specimen 
approaching it, with a broad expansion of the outer lip, 
and emarginate base, without coloured markings. 
Fig. 1 is from a young shell by favour of Mrs. Cobbold, 
from Crag-marle at Holywell ; fig. 2 from the Rev. Mr. 
Lambert’s specimen; it is, perhaps, the most perfect 
known, and was found in the Cliff at Bawdsey, Suffolk, 
where the Crag lies upon blue Clay. Fig. 3 is the outline 
of a cast, by favour of that gentleman, from Aldborough, 
Suffolk, full twenty miles distant from Bawdsey where 
the other specimen came from. 
I have the pleasure of naming it after the Rev. Mr. 
Lambert, that his ardour and zeal may be remembered 
with gratitude. 
Mr. Parkinson’s figure seems to have been taken from 
a good specimen, but differs from ours in the contour of 
the adherent upper part of the lip. 
Having been favoured with a sketch of the general 
nature of that part of Suffolk where the Crag-marle, more 
or less supplies these, and numerous other vestiges of 
beings, formerly organized; I am glad to lay the instruct- 
ive detail before the public : — ■“ It is that part of the 
county of Suffolk which, from the comparative lightness 
of the soil, is expressly called the Sands — it abounds 
so much in that species of fossil shell, called Crag shells,
