round and fpread out a little; the inner ftrait, like white 
Marble, its inner edge toothed, and fpread outward almoft 
as far as the Navle of the fhell; from whence I have 
nam’d it. The Turban is low and almoft flat. It maketh 
fcarce more than two rounds,which therefore immediately 
run from great to {mall. On the outftde ’tis ruged with 
tranfverfe wrinkles, and fpeckled with red and black fpots 
upon white.

bably, ferve as Joynts to hold their lids, fo much the more 
clofe and fteady.

round. Whereby,contrary to all other fhells I ever yet faw, 
it hath the Turban or Wbirle made before. ’Tis much de-

The FLAT-WHIRLE. This Snail is a perfect Helix, all

or the like, into their Mouths, they yield a Crimfon 
liquor.
