SPECIES EXCLUDED FROM

For the same reason no notice is taken in the body of the 
work of the following species, which have been included among 
the British by one or more preceding authors, on what I am 
inclined to regard as insufficient authority. 
Several of these have doubtless been introduced, by mistake 
for some other nearly allied British species ; and others have 
been described from specimens which have been accidentally 
intermixed with British shells in the cabinets of careless col- 
lectors ; but it is also to be feared that some have been wilfully 
palmed upon us by unprincipled persons, who wished to gain 
credit for their discovery, and to enrich their cabinets with 
foreign species, for which they, at the same time, coined British 
habitats, sometimes not even consistent with their proper station. 
It is curious that the persons who have been most addicted to
