slight connection of the volutions, and their more cylindrical form beneath ; 
it differs also in colour.

Shell depressed, very thin, pellucid, white, and extremely glossy, con- 
sisting of four rounded volutions, slightly wrinkled across, visible on both 
sides of the disk; the one next the body above nearly parallel with it, the 
inner ones descending into a deep umbilicus ; the centre volutions encom- 
passed by the body; aperture semilunar, transverse, and oblique; outer 
lip thin, pillar lip adhering to and slightly reflected on the columella.; base 
rounded. Diameter a quarter of an inch ; thickness not an eighth. 
Found on the coast at Dunbar, by General Bingham, and in his cabinet; 
and we have lately met with it in the same locality. 
2. P. alba, pi. VIII, f. 48-49 — First Ed., pi. 51, f. 48-49. 
Shell depressed, with four milk-white rounded volutions, visible on both 
sides, encompassed by the body ; the second ones very slightly elevated 
above the sides of the body, the central ones sinking into a deep umbili- 
cus ; base rounded, the volutions retiring towards the middle, and winding 
to a small central umbilicus ; the whole crossed by very minute lines of 
growth, or obsolete striae ; aperture oblique, large, suborbicular, and white 
within; outer lip thin, and plain; pillar lip adhering to the columella. 
Diameter three-eighths of an inch, and about half that thickness. 
Found on the beach betwixt St Abb’s Head and Dunbar by General 
Bingham, and in his cabinet ; and we have lately found it close to Dun- 
bar. 
This species has much the aspect of Vlanorbis corneus, but differs from 
it in the volutions of the apical side, being the reverse of that shell in 
the inside being parallel with the sides of the body, and in the others being 
thicker and less sunk than tlie under side of the P. coi-neus, in its young 
state. 
Genus 24 — Scalaria. — Lamarck. 
Shell turreted ; volutions gibbous, very distinct, sometimes quite 
separated, with a spiral void in place of a suture, with close or dis- 
tant, longitudinal, elevated, acute, oblique ribs, sometimes so thick- 
ened as to present a varicose appearance, but in a few instances so 
depressed that they hardly appear above the surface ; aperture for 
the most part orbicular, or generally a little longer than broad, with 
its margin united all round, thickened, and reflected, particularly so 
in such species as the volutions are apart from each other; lower 
part of the columella indistinctly canaliculate ; aperture provided 
with a thin, horny, spiral operculum.
