ese dismember-ments of the Fusus, Brug., we distinguish the Fasciolariaj Lam., by some oblique and distinct folds on thecolumella, near the origin of the siphon. Turbinella, Lam., are likewise shells with a straight canal, without varices, distinguishable by having [fromthree to five] prominent, compressed, transverse folds, all nearly equal in size, near the centre of the columella,and which approximates them to the conical Volutae: in fact, they only differ by the superior elongation of thesyphonal canal, [and in having an operculum, as well as a thickish epidermis]. The STROMBUSID.E (Sirembus, Linn.)—Comprise the shells with a canal either straight or bent to the right, the external lip of the aperturebecoming, in its maturity, more or less dilated, and always marked with a sinus near the siphonalcanal, whence the head issues when the animal comes out. In the greater number this sinus is at somedistance from the canal. V gcDcra of Montfort.—Ed. GASTEROPODA TUBULIBRANCHIATA. 3G7

M. de Lamarck snlidivides Hiosc species into two suoitcnora. His fUromout have tlie outer lip dilated into a wing of more or less expanse, but not dividedinto digitations. The foot is proportion-ably small, and the tentacula support theeyes upon a lateral peduncle larger eventhan the tentaculuin itself. The operculumis horny, lon;^, and narrow, resting upon athin tail. Pteroccraa, Lam., have the mar-pin of the full-grown shell divided into long,slender digitations, varying in number ac-cording to the species. The animal is thesame as in Strombus. Other Strombusidie have the sinus con-tiguous to the siphon. These are the Roi-tellaria, Lam. They have generally a secondcanal mounting up the spire, and formedby the external lip, and by a continuationof the columella. In some of them the lipis digitated. Their animal resembles thatof the MuricidK ; but the operruium is verysmall. Others have merely denticulationson the lip : their canal is long and straight.Others have the margin entire an
