is the large American Prionus, and specimens of the

sophical Transactions. 
Case 7. The Larvae and Pupae of Haustellated in¬ 
sects, or those which in their perfect state live by suc¬ 
tion, as Butterflies, Moths, Flies, &c.; amongst which 
are several curious larvae of exotic Butterflies, variously 
armed with spines, &c.; and on the two lower shelves 
are a collection of Cirrhipedes, or the animals which in¬ 
habit die Acorn Shell and Barnacles, preserved in 
spirits. 
Case 8 contains a series of Anneiides, including Sea 
Worms, Lob Worms, Leaches, Planariae, and other 
kinds of Worms, in spirits. 
Case 9. Various kinds of Cephalopodous Mollusca, 
as Cuttle Fish, or Sepia, the animal which affords the 
pigment so called; Octopus, and other genera of the 
order, as Cranchia, and the Ocythoe, which is often 
found in the Paper Nautilus, and thought by some to 
be its original inhabitant. Here also are the Pteropo- 
dous Mollusca, or those whose wing-shaped feet are on 
the side of their head, as the genera Hyalaea, Cleodora, 
Clio, Cymbulia, and Limacina. Likewise Heteropodous 
Mollusca, as the animal of the Glassy Nautilus, Cari- 
naria, and Pterotrachea; and some of the Gasteropodous

Case 12. The animals of Bivalve Shells, shewing the 
various forms observed in the different genera. Those 
of the Pearl Oyster, from the Island of St. Christopher, 
with some fine large pearls imbedded in their bodies,
