NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
neck of this shell is a little more sinuous than the rest of the tribe. The shell 
is thin to its bulk, and the basis is a little produced and round pointed. The 
middle of this shell is dark liver colour, save where the fish adhered to the 
neck it is a bright Mother of Pearl colour. 
This is the common Pinna of the Mediterranean sea; there are of them of a vast 
magnitude. The small end is high ridged, from whence the transverse waves 
begin, and are as it were imbricated, lying above the shell like scales, in a pretty 
undulated and indented manner, but without much order and exactness: it is 
of a dark hair colour: the broad end is about the middle extended a little to a 
blunt point. 
This large Tellina is of a cornelian colour, very smooth, and very thick and pon- 
derous in those of this growth and bigness; but the lesser are thin, and light, 
and prettily fasciated, at least some of them. 
Tellinis congener Aldrovandi. 
This shell seems to be chamous, or naturally open at both ends: it hath a ridge, 
or a depressed sinus, at the end where the hinge is, otherwise it is equally 
obtuse and broad at both ends, not unlike the Solen kind, amongst which it 
might be placed: it is thin and hollow, and of a brown colour. I never saw 
but this one pair of them in Mr. C.’s cabinet. From the Mediterranean sea. 
I have seen of these from Carolina six inches long and two broad. 
b. This is a very large stone, and seems to have had ears on each side: there are 
about twenty ridges, smooth and round, which yet are very small if compared 
to the furrows, which are wide and deep. One side of the stone (for it was an 
entire bivalve) seemed to be something flatter than the other. This out of Mr. 
C.’s collection. 
This is a most beautiful stone, of Mr. C.’s collection. The difference of this stone 
and the scallop above (tab. 187- 25.) is manifold, as will appear from the de- 
scription. In this stone (if it had ears, they are broken off) are eighteen ridges 
at least: these ridges consist of five small ridges; that in the middle is very 
much raised above the rest, and sharper, being set thick with sharp points; on 
each side of it are rows of small points, or prickles, thick set: and on each side 
are two ridges sunk lower into the furrows, thick set also with small prickles, 
so that the furrow betwixt is very narrow; whereas in the scallop the furrows 
are very deep and broad. 
This stone was found at the chapel at St. Croix, near Poitier in France, and is of 
Mr. C.’s collection: it is very thick and ponderous. It is to be distinguished 
from the oyster, for that it is of an oblong figure, the hinge is very broad, and as 
it were treble also, the place of the ligament being to the right hand of the in¬ 
side of the shell: it is therefore the under and lesser shell of the bivalve; and, 
consequently, if it was our oyster, it should have a row of knots on each side the 
hinge, ali which it wants, and therefore is a stone of its own kind. 
Found in Lincolnshire. L. P. 
, This stone is a true flint; it is, as it were, the half of a cockle: it is obliquely fasci¬ 
ated, having about ten of them; each list consisting of a great many other 
smaller lists, after the manner of hatching. 
This is a very large white chalk or lime stone. From the hinge to the border it 
lies extended much more lcngthways; the streaks of the hinges are neatly 
turned in again, running along the border a pretty waving for about sixteen 
courses; all the rest of the stone is smooth. I have not observed any of the shell 
kind any ways like it. 
. This stone is of a dark brown colour: it is an entire bivalve: the valves are awry, 
as it were, rather than erushed: the basis or border running into an angle; the 
streaks are small and eminent: the sinus’s on each side the hinge are very wide 
and large. In this it differs from the shell, that it wants the ridge, which that 
hath, most conspicuously leading to the angle on the border; also that the 
streaks there are much finer bulk for bulk. 
. Fossil: prope Parisias, in sabuleto quodam inventus. 
. This stone is altogether smooth, and is found in the middle of a stone as in a 
matrix, hatched after the manner of the lapides Judaici. This discovery is 
owing to Mr. Lhwyd.
