In conformity with our plan of recording whatever Lis 
come to our knowledge upon this subject, more especially 
from the pen of Montagu, we have inserted the above de¬ 
scription. It will, however, we understand, ultimatelyap- 
pear, upon better authority than our own, that it is the up- 
per valve of an Anomia.
