Carolina Siren, first described by Ellis, which has only

Cases 4 and 5 contain specimens of Crustacea, as 
Crabs, Lobsters, and Woodiice in spirits. 
Case 6 . Araclinida; as Tarantulae, Scorpions, Pha- 
langia, and Acari, or Mites ; Myriapoda, asScolopendrse 
and luli. Also several inandibulated insects, such as 
Beetles, Dragon Flies, Wasps, and Ants; shewing their 
metamorphoses, or the changes they undergo in pass¬ 
ing from the larva to the perfect state. Amongst them 
is the large American Prionus, and specimens of the 
White Ant, (Tcrmes fatalis, and bellicosus), in different 
states, of which an interesting account is given by Mr. 
Smeathmann, in the Seventy-first Volume of the Philo¬

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 Oeythoe, 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 Flyalaea, Cleodora,
