hibited Jig . 5. — In this Condition, which 
Is not uncommon, it much refembles a Grain 
of Oats. 
I mud: not omit to mention another 
Variety amongft thefe Creatures, which the 
Jig . 6, 7, and 8, are intended to explain. 
Here we fee a Couple of tranfverfe Lines, 
forming a Kind of Zone acrofs the Middle 
Part of the Shell, and feeming to feparate 
the two Ends thereof. 
Fig. 6 and 8 have the two round opake 
Spots before defcribed. 
Fig. 6 and 7 £hew the Cardo of the Shell, 
but the fame is not feen in Jig. 8. 
'Tis difficult to determine whether thefe 
are another Species, or only fome of the 
fame Sort of Animals in a different State 
or Condition. I much fiifped they may 
be about calling their Shells, or perhaps 
diilempered, or even dead; for I have never 
feen any of them open their Shells, or make 
the lead Motion, though I have fometimes- 
fcept my Eye over them for above a Quarter 
of an Hour.
