i6j6. In the year 1550, a very curious colledlion of 
“ Letters,” written to him by different perfons, was pub- 
lilhed at Bafil, in folio, which ferve to throw light on the 
hiftory of the times, and furnifli us with numerous in- 
terefting anecdotes. Dupin’s judgment of this prelate’s 
works is, that “ they are well adapted to the inftruftion 
of the people, with refpedl both to morality and doc¬ 
trine.”

NAU'TILUS, f. in helminthology, a genus of teftaceous 
worms. Generic charadlers—Animal a kind of fepia: 
(hell univalve, divided into feveral compartments, com¬ 
municating with each other by an aperture. This genus, 
which is fometimes confounded with the Argonauta, or 
paper nautilus, on account of the (imilarity of their 
names, contains the mod beautiful of all (hells. Itcon- 
fifts of thirty-two fpecies, feveral of which are found foffil, 
particularly the fpecies called belemnita; which in Eng¬ 
land received anciently the name of thundeiflone, from a 
notion that they are thunderbolts, and generally to be 
found after a dorm. Modern improvements in natural 
hiftory and mineralogy have completely removed thefe 
vulgar errors. Many (mall fpecies of nautilus are found 
on the ffiores of Great Britain. 
I. Spiral, rounded, with contiguous Whorls. 
1. Nautilus pompilius : aperture of the (hell heart- 
(liaped, with obtufe and fmooth whorls. This fpecies is 
found in the Indian and African Oceans; it is fometimes 
very large, and finely variegated with brown flexuous 
ftreaks, (pots, and marks under the outer covering, which 
is white. Within it is of a moft beautiful pearly glofs. 
Of this (lie 11 the inhabitants of the Eaft make drinking- 
cups. See the article Conchology, vol. v. p. 23. and 
Plate II. III. 
2. Nautilus fcrobiculatus: about the fame (ize, and 
marked nearly in the fame manner, as N. pompilius ; but 
the fpire is not enveloped by the outer whorl, and, more 
in the manner of Helix cornea, forms an umbilicated 
concavity on each fide of the (hell. KLaemmerer and Dr. 
Solander place it as a feparate fpecies ; and the depreffed 
fpire at the centre fo much increafes its refemblance to a 
Cornu Ammonis, that Knorr calls it the only one of the 
tribe which has been difeovered in a recent (late. It is a 
very fcarce and valuable (hell. Dillwyn's Catalogue of Re¬ 
cent Shells, 1817. 
3. Nautilus calcar: aperture of the (hell linear; the 
whorls have elevated joints. It is found on Sheppy- 
ifland; is minute, white, and opaque. 
4. Nautilus crifpus : aperture of the (hell femicordate; 
joints of the whorls crenate. This is an inhabitant of the 
Mediterranean and of Sheppey-ifland, and is. very minute. 
Independently of the (pecific charadler juft given, the (hell 
is opaque, white, umbilicate on each fide, granulate and 
marked with flexuous Arise; the back is carinate; the 
ftyphon central, and the chambers a little infiefted in the 
middle. 
5. Nautilus beccarii: aperture of the (hell obovate, the 
whorls twilled with deep joints. There is a variety, of 
which the (hell is compreffed, with a linear aperture and 
contiguous whorls marked with the elevated ftrise ; many- 
rayed. This is found on the ffiores of many countries. 
The (hell is depreffed, minute; of a fine pellucid crim- 
Ibn while .the fifli is alive, but of a dull white when dead-
