The double Table Cases in this Room contain the Col¬ 
lection of British Shells, and clay models of some of the 
larger molluscous animals. 
Case 1. The first part of the case contains some of 
the more solid substances found in the bodies of certain 
Cephalopodous Mollusca,—as the shell of the Sepia, or 
Cuttle-fish—the horny laminse of the Loligo and Sepiola, 
commonly called Sea-pens; together with specimens of 
the jaws of those animals, (resembling in form, a parrot's 
bill,) and of the cartilaginous rings by means of which 
the muscular disks on their arms are extended. Following 
these are the minute shells, which, from their being formed 
of numerous chambers, have been generally associated with 
the Nautili , but they differ essentially from them in their
