for Buccinum Areola, and B. Saburon; the plate 116. f. 11, 
for the young of Strombus ater, and also for Helix fuscata; 
and the plate 121. f. 16, both for Strombus auritus, and 
Murex torulosus : when, of our native catalogue alone, it 
obliterated from the system the following species, all of 
them well known to and described by Montagu, and most 
ofthcm figured. Lepa3 cornuta; Mya striata; Donax ru¬ 
bra; Venus substriata ; Nautilus inflatus ; N. concamera- 
tus ; Bulla membranacea, B. tentaculata, B. flexilis ; Vo- 
luta liyalina, V. bulloides, V. heteroclyta ; Murex accinc- 
tus ; Turbo dispar, T. Zetlandicus, T. disjunctus, T. niti- 
dissimus, T. truncatus, T. subtruncatus, andT. Margarita * 
besides a whole division of the most curious and remark¬ 
able subjects in the natural history of the British Islands, 
giving it as a reason for their exclusion, that they are
