tropical regions, but the Crag shell is by Mr. Jeffreys referred to a species lately obtained 
from the seas of Japan, Z. Jaspidea, A. Adams. I am not able to express any opinion as 
to the correctness of this identification. My shell differs from ZL. tenws in being less 
slender and in haying the front margin more obtuse.’ 
The genus Zingula occurs at the base of the Silurian system, and has preserved a 
special uniformity of character throughout the whole geological scale, some of the species 
(L. minima and L. Symondsi) differing, so far as their testaceous remains are a guide, in 
only. a trifling degree from our Crag shell. Moreover, so far as these remains indicate, 
it has never exhibited any large development of individuals, although there is scarcely 
a formation in which it has not left some trace of its existence, nor do we see any great 
variation among the individuals in regard to magnitude. As this genus has existed 
from the oldest Silurian strata, it can scarcely have escaped encountering a great 
variety of conditions, and if indications of climate are to be inferred from the presence of a 
genus in any deposit, what are we to infer from the presence of such a genus as Lingula ? 
ADDENDUM. 
Snveran. new forms having been discovered since the first part of this Supplement 
was printed, I find it necessary to add another plate with figures and descriptions of these 
species, and I take this opportunity to introduce some remarks as to other species which 
have occurred to me since that portion of this Supplement to which their place properly 
belonged passed through my hands.

Mr. Jeffreys in his list refers this shell (with a note of interrogation) to Voluta Junonia, 
Chemn. 
I have again examined and compared my Crag shell with specimens of V. Junonia in 
the British Museum, and I find that it differs from Jwzonia in having a larger pullus, or 
a more obtuse apex, and when perfect, in the presence of close-set spiral strie, of which 
there is no appearance in the recent shell. Jwnonia has also a more expanded outer lip, 
and is more “ emarginate” at the base, and its proportional length of aperture is different 
from that of the Crag shell. Junonia was figured many years ago by Chemnitz, ‘ Conch.

uncertain, but it has recently been found in the Gulf of Mexico.
