YOLUTA geminata. 
TAB. CCCXCVI1I.— fig. I. 
Spec. Char. Ovate, ventricose, pointed, cos- 
tated ; costae terminated by two obtuse con- 
nected spines; columella with one large 
and several small plaits, curved. 
Remarkably ventricose, with very prominent ribs ; it 
differs from Voluta Cithara of Lamarck, in general form 
and size, but particularly in its foetal state, in •which it is 
very minute and pointed, as may be seen upon the apex 
of the spire. 
Discovered by Charles Lyell, jun. Esq. in Clay pits 
at Lyndhurst, Hants. It also occurs in the neighbour- 
hood of Paris, but does not appear to have been des- 
cribed. 
VOLUTA Lima. 
TAB. CCCXCVIII.— 2. 
Spec. Char. Ovato elongated, acute, costated,' 
and transversely striated ; costae numerous, 
dentato-crenated ; upper edges of the 
whorls toothed ; columella with three un- 
equal folds ; lip smooth within, its *.dge 
crenulated. 
Syn. Buccinum scabriculum, JBrander , 71. 
Between the teeth upon the edges of the whorls and 
the upper ends of the costae is generally a broadish, flat, 
or concave, space, and around the spire is a canal which 
separates the edges of the whorls.
