PREFACE.
Tue object of the present Work is to explain the manner in which
the Collection of Mollusca and their shells is arranged in the
British Museum, and especially to give a short account of the
chief characters, derived from the animals, by which they are dis-
tributed, and which it is impossible to exhibit in the Collection.
The figures referred to after the names of the species, under
the genera, are those given in “The Figures of Molluscous Animals,
for the Use of Students, by Maria Emma Gray, 3 vols. 8vo, 1850
to 1854;”’ or when the species has been figured since the appear-
ance of that work, in the original authority quoted.
The concluding Part is in hand, and it is hoped will shortly
appear.
JOHN EDWARD GRAY.
Dec. 10, 1856.
ERRATA AND CORRIGENDA.
Page 43. VERENAD#®.—This family is to be erased, as the animal is like Tricho-
tropis. I was misled by the incorrectness of the description and
figure.
Page 63. TyLrop1inap%.— This family is to be removed to Pleurobranchiata at
page 203; a specimen of the animal and shell having since come
into my possession.
Pages 135 & 167. For CirRHOBRANCHIA read CIRROBRANCHIA.
Page 141. Erase Chrysostoma, which is inserted in its correct place as part of
Livona at page 156.
Page 159. For Stomatia read Stomaz.

SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT
OF
MOLLUSCA.
BARAARARAALARAPDPD SSSA
Subkngdom MOLLUSCA.
Animal soft ; flesh destitute both of a bony skeleton supporting
jointed limbs, and of a hard, ringed skin; covered with a muscular
coat called the Mantle endued with a glairy humour, and gene-
rally furnished with one or two lateral calcareous envelopes called
Shells, which are secreted by this coat for the protection of the body
and of the more vital organs of the animal. The body is generally
elongate, walking on a single central disk or foot, and provided with
one or more pairs of organs on the head and sides. The nervous
system (which furnishes the most distinctive character of the larger
group of the Animal Kingdom) merely consists of a certain number
of medullary masses distributed to different parts of the body, one
of the masses being placed over the gullet and surrounding it like a
collar.
Linneeus refers all the animals inhabiting shells to five genera,
viz. Limax, Ascidia, Anomia, Clio, and Sepia. These genera may
be regarded as the types of the classes proposed by Cuvier. Poli
had, before his time, considered three of them as Orders, under the
names of Mollusca Reptantia, Subsilientia, and Brachiata.
Synopsis oF CrLasseEs.
A. Pedifera. Crawling on a foot placed under the body.
I. GasrERopopaA (Gasteropods or Univalves). Head distinct, with
eyes and tentacles; body usually protected by a conical, more
or less spiral shell, often furnished with an operculum.
II. Concutrera (Conchifers or Bivalves). Head indistinct ;
mouth placed between the gills; they and the body enclosed
between the two leaves of the mantle, which are covered by two
shelly valves united above by a ligament.
n
2 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT
B. Apoda. foot none, or very rudimentary.
III. Bracuiopopa (Brachiopods or Lamp-shells). Mouth placed
at the base of two spirally-twisted ciliated arms between the
two leaves of the mantle, which are covered with two separate
shelly valves: they live attached to other marine bodies.
IV. Preroropa (Pteropods). Head prominent, with one or
rarely two pairs of fins on the side of the neck, by means of
which they swim on the ocean; body often covered with a thin ©
conoidal shell.
V. CepHatopopa (Cephalopods). Head distinct, large, with eight
or ten or more arms, by which they walk head downwards.
A. Pedifera, Gray. The adult animal furnished with a more or
less distinct foot placed under the body for crawling on the
ground or surface of the water.
Class I. GASTEROPODA, - Cuvier.
Animal having a distinct head furnished with eyes and tentacles,
and usually protected by one or two unequal-sized valves, the largest
being conical, spiral, and enclosing the greater part of the body.

The tentacles of Acuside are exceedingly minute, placed on the
upper edge of the inflexed trunk ; in some species they are so small
as not to be seen; some have the eyes on the tips of the small ten-
tacles, and others have no visible eyes. The male organ is very
filiform, very long, as long as two whorls of the shell. Foot small,
folded across when contracted. Head rounded. Mantle with a very
long, slender, breathing siphon. Operculum horny, ovate, nearly
as large as the mouth of the shell, with a rather thickened rib on
its inner side. The inner lip of the shell is generally absorbed and
concave ; in a few species only, as in deus Cerithina, is it thickened
and elevated.
The species of Acus live only below low-water mark.— Adams.
The trunk of the genus deus is represented as short and campa-
nulate by Quoy, t. 36. f. 17; but in other figures, as in fig. 19, the
muzzle is represented as produced. That the genus has a trunk,
and not a muzzle, is proved by fig. 31, where the anatomy is given.
In the same plate, Murex roseus, t. 36. f. 11, and M. ricinuloides,
6 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT
t. 36. f. 15, are represented as having a corrugated muzzle and lateral
tentacula, as if they had no trunk ; they differ in this respect from the
other figures of the same species at fig. 13, where the tentacles are
properly represented as close together at their base.

an oblong operculum, with an elongated nucleus on the front of the

Shell of young animal ovate, subglobose, thin; the cavity simple,
gradually filled up, and the whorl produced into a straight line, with
a small cavity at the end for the body, so as to keep the animal on a
level with the surface of the coral, the solidified shell being left fixed
in the substance of the coral.
The young shell has been called a genus, Leptoconchus, and is
said to have no operculum.—<dAdams, Gen. Moll. t. 14. f. 9.
1. M. antiquus, t. 24. f. 5.
These shells have been taken for Stalactites or mineral concretions,
especially when the cavity of the body has been broken off. They
live in or on coral. The extension of the shell is to allow the animal
to keep its body on a level with the surface of the growing coral,
that it may be able to procure its food. It was placed by Lamarck
with the Annelides or Worm-shells, and considered by Guettard as
a mineral.

Olivella semistriata is found moving about by hundreds, with
great rapidity, in the wet sand in Panama (Cuming). Like other
species of the genus, the shells are often inhabited by Pagurt.
Olivella volutella is found in vast numbers over many acres on
the sandy beach west of the city of Panama; most numerous
where the beach has a gentle slope midway between high and low
water mark. Some time after the retreat of the tide, it is found
crawling about with much vivacity on the wet sand. The shell,
while the animal is moving, is wholly covered with the mantle,
and the mantle is entirely concealed with a thick coat of sand.
When the first wave of the returning tide strikes them, washing off
their coat of sand, they instantly bury themselves.—<ddams, Ann.

Some authors have placed this genus with duricula; but if the
above description of the position of the eyes is correct, it differs
from that family in that important character.

Head truncated. Tentacles moderate. Mantle enclosed. Siphon
of mantle straight. Operculum distinct, annular, ovate or triangular ;

M. d’Orbigny (Cuda, 160, 167, 168), not knowing the character
furnished by the teeth, observes that Triton is only separated from
Murex by conchological, and not by zoological characters; in the
same manner he considers Fasciolaria and Pyrula as arbitrarily
rather than as naturally separated from Fusus; but all the three
genera have most distinct zoological characters.

The teeth of Apollon graniferum are peculiar, 3° 1° 3; the central
one is narrow, with two diverging branches, having a central elon-
gated denticle, and a small lateral denticle in the middle of each
side of each lateral branch; the inner? lateral compressed, with
three or four denticles on its front edge; the outer lateral sub-
ulate, hooked (the teeth were not observed in position). The oper-
culum is ovate, rounded at each end, with a marginal apical nucleus.

third short, claw-like (fig. 27).—Loven.
The Natice are very voracious, and play a conspicuous part in
devouring the dead fish and other animals thrown up by the tide.
They have the power of perforating shells with a small round hole,
and through the aperture they extract the juices and destroy the
lives of the otherwise secure inhabitants.
Their foot is very large, so as completely to envelope the object on
which they prey. They burrow in the sand, so as to be almost entirely
concealed by it, and their place is generally indicated by a small heap
of sand.
The singular nidus in which the animal deposits its egg has been
an object of much curiosity and speculation. It is a mass of sand
glued together into the shape of a broad bowl, open at the bottom
and broken on one side. The thickness is about that of orange-
peel, easily bent without breaking when damp, and when held up to
the light will be found to be filled with little cells arranged in quin-
cunx order. ach of these cells contains a gelatinous egg having a
yellow nucleus, which is the embryo shell. It is found plentifully
about midsummer on every sand-flat where any species of Natice
resort. It has been considered as a coral, and called Flustra are-
nosa, Eschara lutosa, Aleyonium arenosum, and Discopora crebrum !
—Gould, Mass. 233.
The small Natice are often found in the stomachs of fish.
Natice have been said to be without any epidermis (or peri-
ostraca), but this is an error; it is found on all these as on all other
shells. Many Northern Natice even have a thick hard periostraca.

The hinder part of the forehead of Neverita glaucina is elevated
on the shell so as to hide the very small sessile eyes, which are
situated at the base of the tentacula.—Joannis, Mag. Zool. Class. v.
t. 37. When the animal withdraws itself into the shell, it contracts
the foot, which emits a very large quantity of water from its gill-
cavities, or rather the aquiferous tubes. When the animal walks, it
moves the front part of its enlarged foot almost from side to side like
a feeler.
Foot of Neverita castanea very large, roundish-elliptical, thick,
with very thin margins, rugose, with very large oblique undulated
rugee in its anterior half, its colour dull yellow. Head indistinct,

rounded crenatures, and continuous with the tentacula, which are

cannot perceive any traces. Between the mouth and the foot, and
parallel to the supra-oral flap, is a larger, thin, smooth, somewhat
undulated flap, extending on each side nearly to the middle of the
foot in a semicircular manner. The mouth small, proboscidiform,
with a large roundish, bright red, lingual or pharyngeal mass. The
mantle very thin, opening very widely in front, where it forms a
thin, dense, yellowish flap, covering the branchial cavity, of which
the surface is smooth; the branchia large. The intestine convo-
luted, terminating on the right side of the respiratory cavity ; the
liver dull olive, forming the last, very slender turns of the spire ; the
ovary pale yellow. — Macgilliv. Moll. Aberd. p. 346.

furnished with two distant. triangular tentacula, one of which is
colourless, and the other pink, dark brown at the tip, but with no
trace of an eye. Foot pinkish-white, its sides variegated brown.—

M. Deslongchamps describes the mantle of Neverita castanea
as very large, covering and entirely hiding the shell, like that of
Cyprea, but he observes that it is only the right side of the mantle
that is produced over the shell; the head and neck are very large,
and when all the parts are well developed, the animal has the general
appearance of Bullea aperta.—Bull. Sci. Nat. 1825, x. 296. He
appears to have mistaken the foot for the mantle.

The animal of Stomatia only differs from Natica in being much
larger in respect to the size of the shell, and in being provided with
only a small ovate, horny operculum. The size of the animal differs
in various species; thus, in S. Cymba it is capable of being with-
drawn into the cavity of the shell, which is not the case with S. Ha-
liotoideum.
Stomatia Cymba is very common on the sandy coast two or three
yards below the lowest tide; when walking, it elongates and con-
tracts the front part of its foot; only a part of the shell is exposed.
Stomatia differs from Natica in the small size of the operculum,
which escaped the observation of M. de Blainville, but which is very
distinctly to be seen in both the specimens he described in the Mu-
seum. Blainville described the shell as covered with the mantle,
but the mantle is enclosed and the shell is sunk in the foot.—Gray,

The foot of Scalaria Grenlandica is short, thick, nearly quadran-
gular. Head elongated, rounded superiorly, not separated from the
neck by any distinct line. Tentacles two. Eyes small, at the outer
base of the tentacles. Mouth rather large, rounded, corrugated.
Operculum horny, strong, opake, of few whorls. It is sluggish in
its movements, and feeds eagerly upon fresh beef, especially if some-
what macerated.
The teeth of Scalaria Trevelyana are numerous, in an angular
cross line, and the prehensile collar is very distinct.—Alder.
The head of Scalaria pseudoscalaris is obtuse, rather prominent,
with an elongated subcylindrical proboscis. The gill is single, pec-
tinate. The foot oblong, truncated, and angulated in front.
The hinder half of the sole of the foot of Scalaria clathratulus is
grooved longitudinally and medially by a deep central depression.—
Alder. The mantle forms a distinct fold opposite the lower angle of
the mouth of the shell. The foot is narrow, obtusely triangular,
and often carried considerably in advance of the head.—Fordées.
The shells of Scalaria elegans are collected by the Spaniards at
St. Blas to form ear-rings ; they are called Caracoles finos. The
English species are also used as ornaments.

Eyes sessile, on the back of the head, between, and often behind

A. Ptenoglossa. Teeth in numerous longitudinal series (fig. 33).
Fam. XXII. ACTEONIDA.
Shell spiral, ovate, external. Teeth numerous, uniform, in a diver-
ging transverse series as in Bulla (fig.33). Tentacles broad, depressed,
united, and forming a shield on the head, notched in front. Eyes
on the inner side of the base of the expanded tentacles. Foot mode-
rate, dilated and partly reflexed on the sides. Mantle enclosed ;
‘branchial plume single.’’ Operculum horny, ovate, spiral; few
whorls, with a thin flap on the mner edge.
This family has many affinities to Bullide ; indeed it may prove
to be part of that family —PA/il. Moll. Sicil. ii. 143. Alder and
others have placed Acteon in that family.

separated from each other by a longitudinal groove; each of them
has a slit near the middle of its outer margin, the upper edge of the
left being expanded and rounded, while that of the right is much
larger, acute, and folded down. ‘These tentacula bear some resem-
blance to the double fringed lips of Phasianella (see Cuv. Moll.

part of the back of the foot, short, truncated, sickle-shaped, thin and
pellucid, formed of somewhat concentric striz ; the inner front edge
is thickened, and the whole of the inner edge, together with the lip,
is furnished with a thin membranaceous expansion, which is much
broader at the two ends. The use of this thin edge is doubtless to
enable the animal to adapt its operculum more exactly to the shape
of the mouth of the shell. It has been observed that shells with
a toothed columella never have opercula, but many instances may be
adduced to the contrary. Trochus Pharaonis is not distinguished
in this respect from the other shells of that genus, and the genera
Turbinellus, Fasciolaria and Pyramidella are all furnished with
opercula.—Gray, Spic. Zool. i. 183. This description of the ani-
mal was from a specimen long kept in spirits. Mr. Alder calls the
tentacula the disk.

The animal of this genus (Acteon) comes very near to that of
Bulla, having a broad lobed disk in front, without tentacles. We
find too that the branchial aperture is lateral, the cloak being closed
across the front, and open only on the right side, which further
confirms us in assigning it a place in this Order (T'ectibranchiata).
The operculum can scarcely be considered of more than generic
importance.— Alder, Cat. Moll. N. 29.

armed with teeth, which appear to resemble in their arrangement those
of Trichotropis. Mantle not reflected, furnished with a rudimentary
siphonal fold (not extended beyond the shell). Foot obloug, sub-
quadrate in front, where it is furnished superiorly with a mentum,
obtuse behind, grooved for half its length below, the groove termi-
nating in a perforation. Operculigerous lobe well developed. Oper-
culum corneous, of concentric elements; nucleus terminal. Shell

The foot of Cerithiopsis is usually carried in advance of the ten-
taeles; there is a distinct margined operculigerous lobe without
wings or caudal appendages.
The Cerithiopsis inhabits quiet sheltered pools on the shores
among the minor Algze, and it is very lively. There can scarcely be
a greater contrast than between it and Cerzthium reticulatum, which
has the entire aspect of an elongated Rissoa, whereas this is an un-
doubted Canalifer, with evident relations to Lulima and Chemnitzia.

As the apex of the young shell of Odostomia in the egg is hetero-
stroph, it might be supposed that the adult would be hable to be
twisted in this manner, but this is not the case. Mr. Jeffrey has
justly remarked (4nn. § Mag. Nat. Hist. 11.1848, 333): “ Although
I have examined many hundred specimens of Odostomie from almost
every part of the kingdom, I have only once met with a reversed
shell, and which I referred to the Turbo levis of Walker (f. 35) ;
but the specimen was unfortunately broken, after having been many
years in my cabinet. I considered it to be a monstrosity of Odo-
stomia pallida.”

Chemnitzia MacAndrei and C. acicula have been referred to Eu-

the genus Hulimella, but we prefer considering them to belong to
Chemnitzia, from which they only differ in the more polished surface
of their shell. The apical nucleus and the form of the aperture in-
dicate their place in this genus, independently of the animal, which,
according to our observations, is essentially the same in each.—Alder,

The retractile proboscis of the Chemnitzie is very rarely evolved.
The orifice of the rostrum is not precisely in the position of the pro-
boscidal fissure in Muricide ; it is not quite so low in the fork, though
exactly under the tentacula at the point of the invasion of the neck,
and its continuation the rostrum, by those organs.— Clark, 398, 399.

Operculum of Chemnitzia horny or subtestaceous, suboval, subspi-
ral; the lower area under the nucleus furnished with an apophysis.—
Clark.
The branchial plume of Chemnitzia Gulsone is narrow, arcuated,
of about 15-18 rather coarse opake strands, with the heart and
auricle at the posterior end.
The rostrum of Chemnitzia plicata is long, presenting at its termi-
nation a subcircular or squarish flat disk ; it issues from under the
coalition of the tentacular membranes, and is attached to the foot by
a bridle ; the fissure of the retractile proboscis is at the upper basal
portion of the rostrum just below the eyes.—Clark, Moll. 522, App.
The tentacula of Chemnitzia clavula are extraordinarily short and
broad, in consequence of the auricular portions that spring from their
external margin unfolding and forming a large, fine, arcuated mem-
branaceous leaf.
Mr. Clark observes: Chemnitzia acuta shows in a marked manner
that the rostrum or mentum is really the head of the animal; it is
channeled from its termination to its base, at which point, between
and just under the eyes, the fissure is evident, from which is
evoluted a long proboscis. The anteal portion of the rostrum is
without any sort of orifice, but it is probably a tentacular aid, and
also one of progression.— Moll. 522.

60 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT
In Eulima polita the animal is white, except the tentacles and
margin of the mentum, which are deep golden-yellow. The liver, as
seen through the shell, is green in H. distorta, and purplish in
E.. polita.— Alder, Cat. Moll. N. 47.
These are the prevailing colours of the genus, but the disposition
of them is different in different species, and appears to be sufficiently
permanent to be taken as a specific character.
The animal of Hulima distorta has two long subulate tentacles,
with very large eyes at their posterior base. The foot is slender,
much produced in front, and has a bilobed flap (mentum of Lovén)
on its upper surface. The body is yellow, beautifully variegated
with carmine, which forms an irregular band on each side; the ten-
tacles and foot white.
The animal of Hulima oleacea is white, hyaline. Tentacles almost
joiming each other at their bases, where on the exterior sides are the
eyes, which may be seen through the shell when, as is usually the
case, the head does not project beyond it. Foot short, broad, slightly
produced at the anterior angle, the lobe above projecting rather
beyond it.—Stimpson, Shells N. Eng. 40.
The proboscis of Eulima polita has a very long unarmed lingual
riband, without the least appearance of spinous processes.—Clark,
Moll, 449.
The retractile proboscis of Hulima is very similar to that of Chem-
nitzia ; it consists of two retractile tubes, an inner and an outer one,
as in Murex undatus. Though the long flat tongue appears quite
smooth, there is nevertheless, in the inner cylinder, the appearance
of ashagreened, roughened portion, which may be tantamount to the
denticular portion of the mner tube of Murex undatus.—Clark,
Moll. 449.
The verge of Eulima polita springs under the right tentaculum ;
it is rather long, flat and falcate at the end; branchial plume single.
The Eulime are extremely free and vivacious; they delight in swim-
ming, and march with celerity.— Clark, Moll. 450.
What has been called the mentum in Eulima is an integral part of
the disk of the foot. Lovén does not mention one.—Clark, 449.

The animal of Stylina Turtoni is white, with a rather large foot,
without any operculum, a round head with two cylindrical tentacles,
and minute eyes at the external or posterior base. No portion of
the shell was covered with the fleshy part, but I am not certain that
in a state of vigour the animal has no power of extending some part
of the mantle or foot over it. The animal has much the appearance
of an Eulima. It has no large anterior disk, like Natica. The
remains of the animal examined under the microscope did not show
any denticulated tongue.— Alder, Cat. Moll. Newc. 46.
Otolites of Stylina Turtoni circular, with a central dot. Gills?
a single series of triangular lobes. No lingual band visible in the two

Like Eulima the shell is often curved. Some species appear to
live attached to the spines of Echini, while others are only found
imbedded in the substance of starfish.

The animals of Ampullaria scalaris, A. canaliculata, and A. insula-
rum have a very long exserted tapering siphon from the left side of the
mantle, with a groove along its upper edge; 4. Rotssii and A. zonata
a shorter truncated one, with a groove along its upper edge. Asolene
Plate is without any appearance of this part. Their siphons differ
from the siphon of the Zoophagous Mollusca in the edge being bent
up and not down, leaving the groove along its upper and not its
lower edge.
The gills of Ampullaria are formed of a series of triangular laminze
placed in a line down the right side of the branchial cavity, close by
the side of the colon and ovarian tubes. A small mass of lamellee
on the outer left angle of the cavity; the rest of the cavity filled
with a large fleshy bag open by a wide slit. Tentacles conical, elon-
gate. Eyes on short tubercles, separate from but close to the outer
base of the tentacles. Head short, the front of the side expanded
into short, conical, tentacle-like lips. Foot simple, folded across
OF MOLLUSCA. 67
when contracted. From the tentacles on each side to the base of
the edge of the respiratory cavity is a continued broad flat plate,
which is largest on the left side, and which appears to be bent up, so
as to form a canal to conduct the water to the respiratory cavity.
The one on the right side is folded, and gives origin to a fleshy ridge,
which extends up the right side close to the side of the colon, and is
continued to the top of the respiratory cavity. The penis is conical,
elongate, near the tentacle, and enclosed in a bivalve sheath, with the
thickened margin to the right side of the collar. They live a very
long time out of water. Specimens have been brought alive from
Evypt and India, kept dry in sawdust.
The Ampullarie appear to differ in size according to the soil on
which they happen to live. In sandy places they are small and
thin; where the soil is more muddy the specimens are larger.—
D Orbigny.
The Ampullaria insularum of La Plata is found on the large
aquatic plants in the marshes on the side of the river, especially such
as have a muddy bottom. They lay their large red eggs in groups,
in March. They live many months out of the water. They are
eaten by the Rails and other water birds, who often break the
operculum, the only vulnerable part, to get at the animal.
Ampullaria canaliculata is generally found on rushes and aquatic
herbs; it also often glides on the surface of the water, shell down-
wards. The animal is generally expanded, but it contracts with the
least touch. It walks slowly, its tentacles being in constant move-
ment. In October its ovaries are filled with a mass of rose-coloured
eges; they are laid in November, on branches under water attached
to a tree or bush out of the water. These eggs are a beautiful rose
colour, with a whitish bloom. At the end of two or three days each
group is closed; the eggs are then protected by a chalky pellicle,
formed by exposure to the air. At the end of fifteen or twenty
days, the young animals, which are of a pure rose colour, appear
covering all the plants. If rain does not occur within this time, the
eggs do not hatch, but the animals perish in the eggs from the
drought. The young and old are eaten by the Wading birds, which
often take the older ones to a branch of a tree and let them fall, so
as to break the shell, and thus get at the animal; many shells so
broken are to be seen at the roots of the trees.
5. PoMELLA.

The operculum of Pomella neritoides is thick, horny, as large as

The individuals of the same species vary greatly in size, in the
thickness of the base and margin, in the general form, and rarely in
the size of the teeth ; their most constant characters are the form of
the front of the columella, the number of the teeth, and the general
distribution of the colour. The great difference in size of the
adults of the same species has been attempted to be explained by the
theory that the animals shed their shells as the lobsters do their
skin; but this is not the case; young shells may be found of all the
various sizes. Individuals are to be found of most of the species
which have had a coat of enamel (generally similar in colour to the
margin) which has been deposited on their backs, after they have
arrived at their full colour ; sometimes this coat is blistery.
The young specimens, before the mouth of the shell is formed,
have the mantle on the pillar side dilated and bearded, and of the
outer side simple, with a slightly thickened edge. The foot is trun-
cated. The tentacles subulate, far apart on each side of the trunk ; —

of the species is smooth, but the young

regular, spiral, rather flat-tipped con-
centric ridges, with equal wide grooves
between them ; and the nucleus of Cy-
prea nigropunctata, which is only to
be seen in the young shell, is finely,
concentrically and spirally ridged, so as
to be closely and acutely cancellated.
The young shells under some particular
circumstances have a ridge round the
inner part of the outer lip, which is |
sharp, compressed, and strongly denticulated in front. These shells

and third bent back, similar, slender, elongated, slightly sigmoid, the
tip cleft into three spines, the outer short, the inner longest; the
limb with a transverse plate, which is curved and ovate (fig. 42).
The shell of Pedicularia has much the appearance of Concholepas,
for it only differs from that genus in having no tooth-like process on
the front of the outer lip, and in the edge of the outer lip being
generally sinuous, and the inner or columellar lip being rounded,
callous, and covering part of the left side of the last whorl. There
is a small white shell in Mr. Cuming’s Collection from the Philip-
pines, which has similar characters, and is even more like the typical
Concholepas.
Mr. A. Adams has thus described the shell, which he referred to
a genus under the name of Coralliobia: ‘ Like Concholepas, but no
teeth on front of outer lip.”’,— Ann. & Mag. N. H. 1854, 70.
The form and disposition of the teeth at once separate the animal
from Concholepas and the other Purpuride.

treade, and Dr. Philippi arranges it as the last genus of Calyptre-
acea.—Handb. der Conch. 189.

Branchial plume single, long, narrow, with about forty very short

The shells of Aporrhais are subject to great variety with respect to
the outer lip, which increases by age. Young shells have all the
appearance of a Murex, without the least expansion of the lip, and

The foot of Sinusigera Hualeyi is destitute of a float, with a very
thin, small operculum. Mantle with a short respiratory siphon.
The branchiz are of two kinds, covered and naked; the covered gill
is single, but of considerable length, beautifully pectinated and fringed
with long cilia. The naked gills are four in number, similar in cha-
racter to those of Macgillivrayia. Each gill is oval or elongated, with
a thin, frilled and corrugated border, beset with long whip-like cilia.
The lingual strap with central and lateral teeth, and two file-like
triturating plates. Tentacles two on each side.—Macdonald, Proc.
Roy. Soc. vii. 193, 1854.
Sinusigera was arranged by d’Orbigny (Moll. Cuba, 149) near
Nassa, on account of its thickened outer lip. It is distinguished from
the other Buccinide by the ringent mouth and three well-marked

second slender; scape narrow, claw-like, serrated on the outside;
the third rounded at the tip, ciliato-denticulate.— Loven.
When the animal was first described in 1821, I observed that it
differed from all others of the Order in the eyes appearing to be
placed at the end of the tentacles, but I believed they were placed
on peduncles as long as the tentacles, the two being soldered toge-
ther; for if the pedicels of the eyes of this genus are minutely
examined, they seem to be formed of two parts united by a suture ;
and Mr. Berkeley observes, that it would appear as if there were in
reality no tentacula, but only the tubercles common to many mol-
lusks at the base of the tentacles, a little more developed than usual.
The genus Assiminea is an instance of shells very nearly allied in
external appearance having very different animals. The shell is not
to be distinguished from the smaller Lzttorine.

The tentacles subulate, rather distant. The eyes rather promi-
nent, on the outer base of the tentacles. Operculum horny, ovate,
spiral, of a few very rapidly enlarging whorls. They inhabit the
sea-coast between high and low water mark, where they are often
left dry for many hours by the tide; and sometimes they crawl so
high up the rock as only to be wetted by the spray. The pectina-
tions of the branchial plume of nearly all the Littorine vary from
forty-five to sixty; thin, long, slender, and close-set.
The branchial plume of Littorina littoralis is single, on the left
side, with thirty-five to forty or more very fine, close-set pectina-
tions ; the neck is simple, without lobes.—Clark, 347.
The anterior folded jaws of L. littoralis are supported by the
usual corneous plates.—Clark, 347.
The buccal mass of L. neritoides is supported by two thin, brown, .

ceeds to the stomach, and there lies coiled as in L. littorea. —Clark.

In walking, Littorina littorea alternately advances first one and

OF MOLLUSCA. 89
Littorina littorea, L. retusa, L. petrea, and several others, are
oviparous ; the egg-masses of L. retusa are oval, almost three
lines broad. Some species, as L. rudis and L. rugosa, are viviparous,
the upper part of the body in the cavity of the shell being filled with
living young at the end of summer.
The colour of the common English ZL. retusa agrees with the
colour of the shell; thus the orange animals have orange shells, the
dusky ones dusky shells. Other species, as L. vulgaris, appear to be
more permanent in their colour; its animal is always varied with
black lines.
Mr. W. Thompson obtained at Weymouth several examples of
Inttorina rudis in copulation with L. littoralis (Nerita l.) ; in every
instance L. rudis wasthemale. Heremarks, ‘‘ From these instances,
Iinfer L. palliata to be the hybrid progeny of L. rudis and a female
L. littoralis. The only doubt in my mind as to this inference is, that
I have not as yet found any specimens of L. pallata on this coast ;
but neither have I found any other shell that might in any way be
considered as the produce of L. rudis and L. littoralis. I found in
all eight couples: the probability of some being unfruitful, and the
further probability of the hybrids not being prolific, will, I think,
form just grounds for the rarity of the species.” —Ann. §& Mag. Nat.
Hist. 1852, ii. 76.
Iittorina peruviana is abundant in the anfractuosities of rocks
so high above the highest water mark, that they can be only wetted
by the spray during tempests ; if placed in sea water, they develope
themselves and quickly search for means of escaping from it and reach
some dry place. JL. araucana lives on rocks near the high water
line, and LZ. umbilicata is numerous in Peru near the low water
mark.—D’ Orbigny.

Lithoglyphus piscium lives on stones in the little marshes of the
river La Plata, and affords food to the Bagri or Siluri. Lithoglyphus
peristomatus lives in deep water in the river Parana attached to
stones ; they live in large families, each shell supporting the oval
eggs. They are only to be procured when the river is low.
Dr. Philippi has placed Lithoglyphus and Hydrobia with spiral
opercula as subgenera of Paludina, and Paludomus with an annular
operculum as a subgenus of Melania.— Handb. der Conch. 167, 168,

The Lacune are robust; the head strong, thick; eyes nearly
sessile ; tentacula long, slender; male organ at the base of the right
tentacula, strong, compressed, thick, long; operculigerous lobe with
a styliform beard on each side; sole panduriform. Living on Fuci;
on brown Fuci they are green, on red Fuci rose-coloured. The egg-
cases are worm-shaped, thick, curved into a semicircle. The young
swimming, with a vibrating veil.—Loven, Ind. Moll. Scand. 22.
Lacuna pallidula is pale flesh-coloured, Rostrum very short ;
mouth orbicular, radiately plicated, emitting an elongated cylindrical
proboscis. Tentacles lateral, elongate, filiform, tapering, slender, with
the eyes on a short swollen tubercle on the outer side of their base ;
sides of bodysimple. Foot oblong, rounded before and behind. Oper-
cular disk expanded, with a slight filiform process on each side
behind. The foot is quite continuous, sometimes regularly gliding
along in walking, and at others alternately moving first one side of
the front margin and then the other. They are very impatient when
in the water, and desirous of getting out of it, sometimes floating on
the surface like Lymnee ; very viscid. The gills are enclosed on the
left side of the cavity. These animals differ from Littorine in the
shape of the mouth, in having a proboscis, and in the hinder lobe of
the opercular mantle. The proboscis has not been observed by any
other malacologist, and I have not the means of verifying the fact at
present ; but the absence of jaws renders it probable they should
be removed to the former order.
The operculigerous lobe of Lacuna pallidula is expanded laterally
OF MOLLUSCA. 93
into minute wing-like processes, and at the terminal point is subcir-
cularly scalloped out, the lateral margins forming usually four, some-
times three or four, very short caudal fillets, sometimes either rudi-
mentary or quite obsolete. The single respiratory plume, branching
from right to left, has 35 to 45 or more long slender pectinations ; the
neck is simple and free from all lappets.— Clark.
Lacuna pallidula, L.vincta, and L. crassior have no jaws; the teeth
are nearly alike in the three species, in from 45 to 60 cross rows ; in
L. crassior the central tooth is higher than in the others. The oto-
lites are circular and simple.— Alder.
In Lacuna puteolus the lateral appendages of the operculigerous
lobes are large, but the caudal filament very short, and often obso-
lete. LZ. pallidula has the lateral wing-like extension with two or
four very short caudal lobes.—Clark.
The foot of Lacuna pallidula has a longitudinal fissure, and the
progression is alternate as in Littorina; branchial plume single,
of 35 to 45 or more long slender pectinations ; neck simple, without
lappets. The verge elongate, simple, under the right tentaculum.
Operculigerous lobe bifid behind.—Clark.
The central tooth of Lacuna canalis (fig. 51) is almost hexagonal ;
cutting edge with five pointed lobes ; first lateral tooth behind deeply
notched between the two processes, the upper margin five- to six-

toothed ; the second slender, subclavate, five-toothed ; the third claw-
like, the anterior margin somewhat toothed before the tip.—Loven.
The Lacune feed on Fucus, eating the surface of the frond or
stem, often forming holes through the former and deep holes in the
latter, into which many specimens often crowd themselves. They
are also often found crowded together in the crevices among the
roots of the plant. The animal has no filament on the end of the
foot.
The Lacune live among the roots of Laminaria and other marine
plants, attached to stones and shells below the low tide level, but
the Fuci are often found, dragged by the storms, on sandy beaches.

The branchial plume of Rissoa parva consists of 15-18 minute
vessels attached under and to the mantle and back of the neck. The

it walks, the eyes are usually under the margin of the shell. It has
no malacological community with Aelis or Chemnitzia, but the muzzle
is carried in nearly a similar position as in the latter genus. We
must not be misled by the centrality of the eyes at the base of the
tentacula, as the vertical cloven disk and corneous jaws, with the
simple tentacula, demonstrate that it is merely a Rissoa. Mr. Clark

of the sides, frequently changing one for the other by suddenly with-
drawing the head and body and turning on the side it wishes.
The foot of Cecum trachea is short, narrow, and truncate ante-
riorly, sloping behind to an obtusely pointed termination. Operculum
strong, circular, corneous, of seven or eight close-set spiral whorls.
The tentacles are elongate, diverging, thickened, and a little spread at
the bases. The eyes have decidedly an external bias. The opercu-
ligerous lobe is certainly without a cirrhal appendage.—Clark, Moll.
518, Append.
Mr. Alder was only able to examine the jaws and teeth of Caecum
trachea very imperfectly ; there are a number of elongated linear
curved teeth, which appear like the outer lateral ones.
The animal of Cecum pulchellum of New England, found adhering
to Vermeti, agrees nearly with the English species C. trachea, as
described by Mr. Clark. The head projects a little in advance of
the foot, which is short. The muzzle is cleft and transversely wrin-
kled, and has two black spots above just in front of the tentacula,
which are thick, curved, and covered with large vibrille. The eyes
are conspicuous, black, oval, and situated at nearly the middle of the
bases of the tentacula, a little towards the inner sides. The oper-
culigerous lobe projects a little beyond the operculum. The oper-
culum multispival, of almost eight volutions, corneous, and concave
on the outer surface. The shell in its adult state is clavate, arcuated,
contracted at both extremities, and having a somewhat angular ap-
pearance at its outer or dorsal outline, thick and strong, with strong
rounded ribs, broader in front.
Mr. Stimpson observed, while keeping this species alive from
April to November, that it presented three stages of growth: first, a
slender, thin, arcuated form, with few distant ribs ; secondly, the an-
terior half of the former form left by the decadence of its posterior
half, with a part of the growing adult shell; and thirdly, the adult
shell, which is clavate, arcuate, contracted at both extremities, and
OF MOLLUSCA. 101
having a somewhat angular appearance on the longer outer or dorsal
outline. It is thick, strong, pale yellow, with about twenty-five
strong rounded ribs, broader anteriorly. Thus the septa of the shell
would appear to be thrice formed.—Stimpson, Shells N. Eng. 36,
1851.
The apex of the shell of Caecum, according to Dr. Shuttleworth,
is subspiral, the whorls being separated from each other, the tip
gradually falling off. One of the species described by Stimpson is
ovate, ventricose.
When examining Mr. Bean’s cabinet in 1850, I noted Vermicu-
laria incurva. It appears to be the young of Cecum; the apex is
spiral, the straight part is slightly transversely annulated.
2. BRocHINa.
Operculum convex externally, with a succession of spiral terraces.
1. B. glabra.
Operculum of Brochina glabra shaped like that of Siliquaria, of
five or seven coils rolled round a windlass, crenulated at the edges,
mammillated above and below, and on the summit are numerous
loculi, like those in the centre of Polystomella.— Clark, Moll. 326.
Mr. Clark considers the Cecide as very nearly allied, if not identical
with Vermetus ; that they are probably attached when young (?), and
at length become free, all other attached shells being free when first
hatched ; and lastly, that Skenea rota, which is free (!), is perhaps
the young of C. glabrum.—Moll. 325.

The gills of Paludina are formed of a series of triangular plates
attached to and forming an oblique line down the left side of the
branchial cavity. There is a similar ridge in the cavity to that in
Ampullaria, but the ridge up the back of the neck runs more to the
left, and there is a fat mass between it and the right side of the body.
OF MOLLUSCA. 113
There is an appendage on each side of the head, arising from the
back of the tentacles; that on the left side is small, on the right
larger before; the hind portion forms a canal as in Ampullaria.
The muscle of attachment is double, the left portion the smallest.
Tentacles conical, with the eyes nearly at the base.
The American and European species are viviparous ; the young
are covered with spiral bands of hairs, varying in number in the
kinds. There are only five lines in V. fasciatus, and many close
lines in V. achatina. |
The Vivipari are sluggish, feeding upon living and decayed
vegetable matter, preferrmg nearly stagnant waters or very sluggish
rivers with a bottom of soft mud; the extension of the foot in front
prevents them from taking food except when at rest. They are
rarely found reversed ; a reversed specimen of V. decisus was named
V. heterostropha by Kirtland.
The animal of Viviparus decisus of North America is yellow or
bluish, with numerous orange spots on the head, tentacles and foot.
Tentacles black-tipped ; under side of the foot with light lines
radiating from the centre to the edge. They live in ponds and
muddy streams, usually concealed under the shelving banks or im-
bedded an inch or two among loose mud and roots. The apex of
the shell is generally eroded; the young are excluded in a living
state with three whorls to the shell.
Viviparus ponderosus, which Deshayes considers an Ampullaria,
and Say a Melania, has the true horny operculum and the viviparous
habit of Viviparus.
Lamarck, in his first work, confounded the Vivipari with the
genus Cyclostoma, and Draparnaud has placed in his genus some
marine species belonging to Lzttorina. Cuvier, overlooking the

Férussac, overlooking the structure of the operculum of Vivipari
and the number of series of gills, observes, ‘‘ We are obliged to re-
unite the genera Paludina and Melania of Lamarck ; their animals
are perfectly similar, and their shells often so analogous, that one is
embarrassed to know which genus to refer them to. We put with
them also the genus Rissoa, which is operculated, but we do not
know its animal.” —T'abl. Syst. Moll. ii. xi.

M. Moquin-Tandon observes, Bithinia differs from Paludina thus :
The head is narrow and does not exceed the plane of the foot; it
has no jaws; the eyes are perfectly sessile, rather behind the base of
the tentacles ; the tentacles are always equal; the gills are formed
of folds placed in one series ; the stomach is furnished with carti-
laginous stylets; the male organ is bifid, always exterior, and situated
behind and on the outside of the right tentacles, and it is destitute
of the large glandular pouch which yields the red colour of the Palu-
dine.—Petit, Journ. Conch. 1851, 245.
In Bithinia the gills consist of only a single series of transverse
parallel flexuous folds attached to the surface of the branchial cavity,
which are never visible externally ; the fold narrows at the two ends
of the apparatus ; the penis is placed on the base of the right tentacle,
as in Paludina.

116 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT
lateral teeth, first produced on the outside, the tip sharp-pointed and
serrated on both sides, second and third somewhat similar, claw-like,
the former more curved, the latter simple.
The foot of Crepidula is oblong, nearly the size and form of the
concavity of the under side of the shell to the edge of the inner lip ;
the rest of the chamber is occupied by the dilated head, which is
rather expanded on the sides. The tentacles are linear, with the eyes
on small tubercles on the outer side of the base, and the forehead is
notched.
The species of these attached shells are very difficult to distin-
guish, from the various forms they assume under different external
circumstances. From the fact of each species assuming, under the
same circumstances, a peculiar form, it has been thought that they
must all be varieties of the same species; but I am inclined to think
that most probably the species of each distinct locality are different,
though each perhaps offering the same variations: thus, the Crepz-
dule of the Mediterranean, of Peru, and the east coast of North
America, though they may each present the four common varieties,
may be four distinct species, the geographic character being perhaps
the best distinctive mark.
In Sicily, Crepidula fornicata is always fixed on the outside and
C. unguiformis on the inside of shells; the former is streaked with
brown, and generally covered with Vermeti, Flustre, and other para-
sites ; sometimes the edge of the shell is sinuous, from the irregular
form of the body on which it was living, and hence called C. sinuosa
by Turton. These characters have been used to distinguish the
species, instead of proving they are only one, in different situations.
Crepidula fornicata, which is convex and coloured, M. Philippi
(Moll. Sicil. i. 126) observes, in Sicily is always on the outer surface
of the shell, while C. unguiformis, which is flat, white and smooth, is
always attached to the internal surface of the shell; having collected
116 specimens in that situation, he gives this difference of habitat as
a proof of their being distinct species, while I am inclined to regard
it as a proof that the difference in the forms and colour depend on
the part of the shell to which they happen to be attached.
Many of these flat, white specimens of Crepidula unguiformis have
near the tip a more convex part, showing the form of the shell in its
younger state, and this part is often streaked with brown like the
convex variety. These specimens, combining the two varieties in
the same individual, also prove that these animals sometimes do
not take up the habitation on the inside of the shell, until they attain
a certain size, as when they do so they suddenly change the form
and colour of their shells.
On the other hand, Mr. Stimpson states that Crepidula fornicata
sometimes occurs with C. unguiformis in the apertures of univalves,
where it preserves its colour, convexity and other characters. —Shells
of New Eng. 30. (I have never seen them in that situation. |
Crepidula fornicata varies in shape according to the body on
which it rests ; four or five different ages are frequently found riding
upon each other. When growing on Peeten concentricus, it is found
\ OF MOLLUSCA. 117
to have ribs corresponding to those of the Pecten. When found in
the cavities of shells, it is white, flat, with a convex diaphragm ; the
younger specimens are rounded, but generally become elongated by
age; and it is otherwise very variable in shape, conforming itself to
the position it occupies in the throat of the shell. When found
among stones at the roots of sea-weed, it is generally of a small size,
with a convex diaphragm.
Crepidula dilatata changes its form and character according to the
body to which it happens to be fixed :—
1. If attached to a broad stone or other body, the shell is smooth,
circular or ovate and moderately convex; it is then C. dilatata,
C. peruviana, C. depressa, C. patula, C. lineolata, C. Adolphei,
C. chilensis, and C. strigata.
2. On the contrary, if fixed to a small round stone, and the shells
are obliged to group themselves on one another, it is then narrow,
very convex, and C. nautiloides.
3. When the young shell happens to be in deeper water, and
fixes itself between the roots of sea plants, it becomes irregular,
thick, and of a uniform colour; it is then C. pallida.
4. If it happens to be fixed on the inside of a dead spiral shell,
especially if that shell is inhabited by a Soldier crab, it becomes flat
or even concave externally, and is of a white colour; it is then C.
- plana or C. unguiformis.
Crepidula patagonica and C. aculeata occur attached to stones
on the coast of South America; the former often chooses situations
much beaten by the waves.
_ Crepidula dilatata forms large rounded massive groups, the lower
shell being attached to a stone or shell, and the others all placed
on the back of it.

the edges of which appear white or yellow owing to the included
germs (eggs). The fry have a helicoid shell, rather large eyes on
the base of short, triangular tentacles, and large, ciliated neck-
lobes.— Brit. Moll. 465.
The shells of the young animal (which may be seen on the apex
of the adult specimen) are spiral, with gradually enlarging whorls like
a small Capulus.
Galerus chinensis varies in colour from white, hyaline, yellow,
to reddish or dull violet ; also in being more or less elevated, the
crown more or less spiral, and the surface smooth or covered with
small, arched, elevated scales ; sometimes one side is smooth and the
other very rough, or the middle smooth and the periphery scaly,
or the centre scaly and the circumference smooth. The same varia-
tions occur in the species found in other seas.

The Crucibula, like the Crepidule, are often grouped together,

They also assume the character of the surface of the shell to which

edge broadly triangular, minutely toothed ; first lateral tooth droop-
ing, serrulated ; second and third somewhat similar, claw-like.
Capulus ungarieus carries its egg-cases in groups, until they are
hatched, under the neck in front of the foot.
The branchial apparatus of Capulus ungaricus consists of a heart
and one auricle, and a series of long, pale brown filaments, which
spring from the base of the walls of the cervical cavity, and do not
present a compact, plumose leaf. The foot is tough, coriaceous and
circular, with an anterior puckered ruff or upper skin, or sort of
mentum.—Clark, Moll. 265.
Prof. Forbes described the foot as broad, expanded, truncate in
front and tapering behind.
The foot of Capulus is described as puckered in front, but the
‘puckering’ appears to be what is usually called the sole of the
foot in other Gasteropods, contracted into that form. A somewhat
similar modification of the foot is found in the genus Vermetus,
where there is no appearance of any flat sole to the foot, but the end
of the foot, which usually bears the operculum, is contracted, subcy-
lindrical, truncated at the end, and closes the mouth of the cylin-
drical shelly tube; and in front, under the head, are two subulate
processes which have been called tentacula, but which appear to be the
lobes which are often found at the front end of the foot produced into
this form. Some zoologists have objected to this explanation of the
structure of the animal, but the discussion may be considered set at
rest by the discovery of the animal of the genus Stliquaria (Phil.
Moll. Sicil. t. 9. f. 24), which has nearly the same structure of the
foot as the genus Vermetus ; but here the foot is rather lengthened,
and the front of it is marked with a short, narrow, flattened band,
which is evidently the usual flat part of the foot which is found in
a more expanded state in other Gasteropods.
Dr. Turton (Zool. Journ. ii.566) remarks, “The Pileopsis ungarica
may eventually be considered as a bivalve shell of the genus Hip-
ponyx; as in removing a living specimen from an oyster, we ob-
served a thin laminar under-valve, which is now in our cabinet. The
horse-shoe-shaped muscular impressions are also exactly similar to
those of the Hipponyz.”’
Mr. Clark thinks that the “rudimentary lamina,” sometimes |
observed on the foot of the Capulus, “probably has its origin in a
compressed mass of testaceous pulli in adherence to it.’>—Mol/. 263.
In the Mediterranean they live attached to shells, zoophytes, and
especially the red coral (Corallium nobile).

The Valvate live in rivers. They are known from the Paludine
by the whorls being more circular and not bent in any part by the
proximate whorls. The gills are exserted when the animal is ex-
panded, and are formed of an elongated tapering conical process,
furnished on each side with a series of spirally-twisted laminze placed
opposite to each other. On the hinder part of the right side, near
the suture of the whorls, is an exserted filiform member like a tenta-
culum, but rather shorter and thicker, which is called the branchial
thread by Lamarck.
Valvata tricarinata is found in the small lakes of America, usually
under stones, or sheltered by the deserted shell of some freshwater
Unio. The shell is usually rendered somewhat opake by an earthy
coating, but when removed it has a shining, pearly, emerald-green
periostraca.
Valvata pupoides is very active. The head proboscidiform, half
as long as the tentacles, two-lobed in front. Foot tongue-shaped,
dilated into two acute angles in front. Gills occasionally protruded
to half the length of the right tentacle. Tentacles rather stout.
The last whorl of the shell is nearly disjointed. They live in ponds,
under stones and submerged sticks.
Mr. Lea remarks, “I observed a small apple-green globose object
(the ova) passing from under the aperture of the shell. This was
shortly followed by others, and soon a transparent mass became
visible. This mass was passed slowly over the right side of the
neck, under the pectiniform moveable branchie, until entirely dis-
charged against the perpendicular sides of the vessel in which it was
kept, and there the mass remained attached, the parent having
abandoned it immediately.”

Mantle produced into a long siphon. Foot very large, expanded,
truncated in front, without lobes, with a float. Operculum semicir-
cular, horny, thin, of concentric layers, with faint traces of a spiral
structure at the central lateral nucleus, which is on the columellar
side; from it there runs a straight rib or process, continued nearly to
the outer margin, and indicated externally by a depression or groove.
Shell spiral, dextral, globular, thin, corneous, transparent, slightly
concentrically striated, imperforate ; spire not produced, with a sini-
stral nucleus; aperture oblong, entire, angulated below. Peristome
incomplete, thin, even-edged. Floating ; gregarious ; furnished
with a float like Ianthina?

Mr. Macdonald observes, “ The disk of the foot in Macgillivrayia
is broad, and connected by a narrow attachment to the body just be-
neath the neck; it carries an operculum behind, and is cleft by a
notch in front. A raphe observable in the medial line, as well as
indeed the whole character of this part of the organ, seems to shadow
forth the transformation of the single foot of the Gasteropod into the
wing-like expansion of the Pteropod. Lingual strap with well-marked
central and lateral series of teeth, and dentated labial plates. It has
a vesicular float like that of Ianthina; it consists of an aggregate of
vesicles, varying both in number and size. It is exceedingly delicate.
The gills are fixed to the body immediately behind the head, and
not appended to the mantle ; they are four in number and arranged
in a cruciform manner round a central point.’”’—Proc. Roy. Soc. vii.
191, 1854.
On further examination the author considers what are here called
“naked gills” as probably auxiliary organs of natation, chiefly em-
ployed for prehension.—Proc. Roy. Soc. vii. 309, 1854.

The pointed end of Vermetus lumbricalis forms a spire of eight or
ten closely connected whorls, upon each of which are two sharp ele-
vated ridges. It generally lies in a horizontal direction, and is
attached by one of its sides to some foreign body. The operculum
is horny, circular, with a central nucleus and concentric rings.
The animal of Vermetus radicula of North America has the mantle
fringed at its margin with short filaments. The branchial plume is
very large and long, situated nearly over the middle of the back.
The foot is very short and broad, dilated into rounded auricles ante-
riorly. The muzzle is broad, not cleft; the tongue small. The
tentacles are short, conical, having the eyes at their external bases.
An elevated ridge runs along the back, becomes flattened into a
membrane at the head, and passes round under the right tentacle,
forming a kind of canal, near which is the anus. The operculum is
corneous, concentric, black and hard on the inner, and lamellated on
the outer surface; it is surrounded by a thin membranous flexible
portion about one-fourth its diameter ; thus it is enabled to close its
shell perfectly at the aperture, and yet to retreat far into the nar-
rowed whorls. The eggs are deposited in July. The egg-cases are
soft, slightly cohering, in the form of an elongated cone bent into a

stage of development, enclosing young animals which had already
commenced forming their shell. The shell of the young animal,

Serpuloides varians lives at the bottom of pools on the rocks near
Rio, which are only replenished at the highest tides, where the water
is concentrated by the evaporation of a high temperature. The
animal was generally expanded and agile, and at the least movement
of the water it retreated into the bottom of its shell; when wounded
it emitted a deep violet liquor.

the first is very large, laminaceous, transverse, subtriangular ; upper
margin rather straight, folded back, flat, the lower outwardly rounded,
interiorly notched ; second and third minute, suboval, laminaceous ;
middle keel thicker, flexuous: lateral series of teeth about sixty ;
the first by far the larger, very irregular in shape, scape short, thick,
furnished on the inside with a tubercle, head very large, transverse,
capped, convex, anterior margin radiato-denticulated, along with the
scape emitting a large wing which is rounded and recurved ; other
lateral teeth equal, with a suboval hook denticulated behind ; scape
produced on the inside (fig. 74).
Dr. Shuttleworth believes that the erosion of the apex of some of
the fluviatile Neritelle is caused by the animal’s filing off the apices
by its teeth, the mark of the teeth being left on the surface of the
erosion. This is particularly the case with the specimens which
live in streams in granitic countries, and he suspects that the animals
supply themselves with the calcareous matter to form their shells
from this source; the body of the Neritel/e beg withdrawn from
the tip of the shell as the shell is enlarged in size.
Neritella picta is strictly marine: on sticks and stones in a grove
of trees a little above half-tide level ; also in dirty places on rocks at
a little below half-tide level (C. B. Adams); but according to Mr.
Cuming, on a mud-bank partially overflowed with fresh water !

branaceous expansion folded over the mouth and then back to the

fringe. Lateral fringe distinct, with three tentacles on each side,
produced on the front of the right side into a large, oblong, fleshy
lobe, which probably covers the base of the shell, and forms the
callosity over the axis (see dan. §& Mag. N. H. 1853, xii. 179).

Littoral, burying themselves in the sand left by the sea at low
water.
Foot of Rotella lineolata truncated in front ; when contracted, in
spirits, with a deep central groove, and with the side edges folded
down in front; lateral fringe with three tentacles on each side;
the front one on the right side, near the eye, produced into an
oblong fleshy lobe which partly covers the base of the shell,
and probably forms the callosity. Tentacles two, subulate; right
larger, free, with an oblong, compressed lobe on its hinder side,
with a very indistinct indication of an eye on the inner side of the
end; hence probably a modified eye-pedicel. The left tentacles
smaller, partly attached to the upper side of the left eye-pedicel,
which is cylindrical, with a large membranaceous expansion attached
to the whole length of the side, which is fringed with small beards
on the edge, and folded to the right over the mouth towards the
right tentacles, and then folded back and continued by a slightly
elevated ridge with the front edge of the left lateral fringe. Muzzle
none. Mouth circular, sunken, under the base of the curious-shaped
veil. Proboscis short, retractile. Lingual membrane elongate, with
numerous setaceous teeth suddenly bent ; the innermost series dilated
beneath the bend and the end, and finely denticulated near the tip ;
denticulated hooks at the tip in oblique series on each side, without
any central teeth.
According to Dr. Lovén, the central tooth of Rotella lineolata
is longitudinally subrectangular, unarmed ; lateral six on each side,
of which four are gradually a little longer, and are almost of the
same shape as the central one; fifth and sixth elongated, keeled,
the former linear, bent, the latter subfusiform ; lateral series of teeth
nearly equal in size, with an oval hook, in the inner ones denticu-
lated behind at the flexure, in the middle one on all sides; scape
arcuate, produced under the hook.
* Animal of Rotella opake white. Foot large, flexible, edge often
playing up against the shell, with a lobe on the side of the mantle
partly clinging to the shell, but not enveloping it. Mouth acurious
siphon-slit next the outer lip of the shell, and filled with cilia. Ten-
tacles four; one of these, bearing the eyes, forms an edge to the slit ;
the other bearing the eyes, and two other tentacles, free their whole
length, the latter having roots inside the siphon. Cilia of siphon
tipped with black; sometimes they gather against the sides, so that
you see a tube with a black rim, but usually they are rayed.
“The Rotelle live where they are left dry at least two hours each
tide, just buried in the sand; when placed in water they did not
move about much, only raised up their siphons, so I conclude that
they feed on the minute living things brought to them by the water.”

The description of the animal by Mr. Fairbank (Ann. Lyc. New
York, vi. 35) is not correct ; and those given by Quoy and Gaimard
(Voy. Astrol. cop. Fig. Moll. t. 38. f. 7, 8) and Kiener (Conch. t. 1,

The branchial plume of the Ziziphini is acutely pointed in
front, increasing in breadth behind to its arrival at the region of
the pericardium. It is usually long, tapering like a leaf to a fine
point, and composed of one or more rows of short, close-set strands,
accompanied in some species, we think, by the rudiments of mucous
fillets. The male organ of Ziziphinus is a narrow, white, tough,
gently arcuated and subulate filament, lining or attached from base
to point to one side of the branchial leaf. The orifice of the ovary
is placed below the rectum.—Clark, Moll. 318, 319.
Central tooth of Ziziphinus vulgaris laminaceous, lanceolate ; three
parts at the base oval, suddenly wider, tip recurved, sharp, serrulated
on both sides ; lateral teeth on each side five, imbricated, and shaped
like the half of the central one ; the last somewhat different in shape ;
lateral series of teeth sixty and upwards on each side; the first by
far the stoutest, wide, the base dilated behind, the hook toothed

The head-lappets of Ziziphinus Montagui are each split into five
short, flattish cilia, fimbriated at the sides; neck-lappets plain, that
on right side largest, and often rolling itself up like a branchial
fold.
Muzzle of Ziziphinus granulatus elongate ; mouth with a pair of
oval, horny laminze, and a very short lingual riband passing to the
cesophagus ; head-lobes very small, lateral ; neck-lappets two,

somewhat post-centrally situated organs, having their bases fixed
on and hanging from the concave surfaces of the animal, with their
points vertically parallel to the bases; they are united at their
imner surfaces by a bridle of branchial strands arranged symmetri-
cally. Heart at the anterior end of the branchial cavity. Vent at
the base of the branchial cavity under the mantle, about the middle
of the shell. Head rudimentary. Tentacles and eyes none. Lips

bined with the similar character of its action, appear in a striking
manner to show its connexion with the Conchifera.—Clark, Ann.

gills of Mr. Clark as part of the liver, and the salivary glands as the
gills; and M. de Blainville has formed them into an order, under the
name of Cirrhobranchia.
The animal is formed like the shell, round, and tapering gradually
to the posterior extremity: it is smooth, whitish, and closely in-
vested with a thin pellucid membrane, beneath which two strong,
satiny, ligamentous muscles are seen lying along the ventral surface,
adhering closely, and each of them divided into a broad and narrow
slip. The collar is very thick and fleshy, and makes a complete
circle, through which the foot is pushed at pleasure. The foot forms
the anterior portion of the body; it is cylindrical, thick, fleshy,
pointed with a conical process, and cleft above; and in the groove
we see the mouth in the shape of a compressed process, projecting
forwards, and with its edge fringed with short tentacular papille.—
Johnston, Trans. Berw. Nat. Club, ii. 39.
They live buried in the sand or sandy mud in from ten to one
hundred fathoms. The gills are pale green. The hinder termina-
tion of the shell, when perfect, is tapering, with a short notch on
the dorsal or arched side of the shell; or if it is truncated, then it is
furnished with a lateral, tubular projection, rather broadly fissured
on the dorsal edges.

horizontal, compact, rather short, blunt strands: the artery and
branchial vein are easily observed; the plume gradually curves and
tapers from its origin to a pointed termination, and is of the palest
uniform hyaline drab ; it may often be seen exserted and vibrating
like a tentaculum in all directions ; the anus is under the plume.

The mantle of Tectura scutum (Lottia punctata, Gray) is thin,
with a rounded thickened edge, without any appearance of beards in
the specimen preserved in spirits. Gills triangular, elongate, from
the left side of the hinder part of the gill-cavity, free the whole of
its length, and formed of regular transverse laminz united by a con-
tinuous margin on each side.
The lingual membrane of Tectura Wiltoni, from the Cape of Good
Hope, is elongate, linear, dark brown, with a transverse paler lme
between each set of teeth. Teeth 3° 3, brown; apex opake black, in
oblique lines, conical, acute, curved ; the inner close together, curved
forwards ; the middle and outer lateral curved outwards ; the outer
lateral bifid, as if formed of two cones.
The teeth of Tectura apicina, also from the Cape of Good Hope,
are similar in all respects to 7’. Wiltoni, but the middle lateral teeth
are smaller and slenderer above; the two outer lateral are three-
lobed, the two apical lobes being nearly equal, and the one at the
upper part of the base smaller.

The mantle of a Tectura (like T. testudinalis), from the Sandwich
Islands, is thin-edged, narrow, thickened, rounded, with a series of
minute rather close tubercles on the margin ; inner surface and sides
of the body smooth, without any lamninze. Gills elongate, tapering,
acute, free the whole length, and prominent. Lingual membrane
elongate, rather narrow. Teeth black, conic, curved, in alternate
bands of two and four series; the intermediate ones with only two
teeth much the largest.
The mantle of M. d’Orbigny’s specimen of Patella Petrei, which
is only a variety of Tectura zebrina, is simple, with a series of rather
distant, subcylindrical, fleshy beards, placed in a regular raised line a
little within the edge of the under side, continued over the head.
Gills small, elongate, simple, tapering to a fine poit in front, arising
from the hinder part of the left side of the mantle-cavity, and free the
greater part of its length, formed of close-set regular transverse laminee,
edged on each side by a fleshy band. Vent and aperture of generation
each prominent on separate tubercles on the right side of the base
of the mantle-cavity. Eyes very small, lateral, exterior. Tentacles
subulate. Foot quite simple and smooth on the sides. Rostrum
broad ; mouth oblong, transverse ; lips discoid, slightly fringed.
In the same bottle was a small specimen of the Patella zebrina of
D’Orbigny, with exactly the same animal, but it was soft, from
the weakness of the spirit, and the submarginal beards were not so
distinctly developed.
The delicate brittle Tectura (Patelloida) depicta, which lives on

Shell simple, conical ; apex subanterior. Aperture ovate or ob-
long. The gills are only an elongated branchial plume springing
from the neck, and ought not to be looked on as a pair of symmetrical
subsemicircular laminze, as in the Cyclobranchiate Chitons.
M. Cuvier and most other naturalists consider the lamine placed
round the edge of the under side of the mantle as gills, but M. de Blain-
ville doubts this being the case, and considers some vessels which he
has observed on the inner surface of the mantle over the back of the
neck as the true gills of these animals, and he has accordingly formed
them into a family under the name of Retzfera.
I have not been able to observe any peculiar vascular structure in
the part indicated ; and as the lamine round the edge of the mantle
exactly agree in texture with the lamine similarly disposed in Phy/-
lidia and Chiton, which M. de Blainville considers as gills, I have
little doubt but that the latter are true gills.
According to M. Rang, they seldom change their place on the
rock, and then only in the night.
These animals are very abundant on the rocks, and our English
species is much sought after for food and as bait by the fishermen
and others who live on the coast: and the large species which are so
abundant at the Cape of Good Hope are collected by the English
soldiers and by the Hottentots to make soup of.
Adanson speaks of the beauty and delicacy of form of the fringe
of tentacula which surrounds the edge of the margin of the mantle
of the animal of this genus. In the species which he mentioned
there were three rows of them, each containing above 200 tenta-
cula.
Adanson observed some minute globes on the surface of the foot
of one of the species of this genus, which he believed to answer as a
‘sucker to attach the animal to the rocks (Senegal, p. 30).

How some Patella vulgata exist is a my-
stery ; they are often fixed for months, perhaps
years, on rocks, at altitudes where they can rarely, if at all, be aspersed
by the sea, and are debarred access to marine vegetables ; their re-
corded descents from high levels, and periodical exits from, and
returns to, the identical hollows they have made, after feeding on
algee, have almost a fabulous complexion ; zones of sand fifty yards
wide often intervene between them and such food, and their exceed-
ingly slow locomotion is opposed to such manceuvres.—Clark, Moll.
261.
The gills of Patella vulgata form a continued row within the
margin of the mantle, but interrupted on the right side, where the
blood enters the gills. The foot is divided longitudinally into two
equal parts, the milt and eggs occupying the right side of the foot.
They often move from place to place, as may be observed by the
trail they leave in the slight coating of mud left on the rocks by
the water as the tide falls. The younger animals appear to be most
active. When attached to soft rocks, as chalk, it forms a cavity
which is divided into two divisions by a cross ridge; the hinder
division is the deepest, and there is no lunate ridge, as is formed by
the animal of the genus Hipponyx (Fool’s-cap).
The mantle of Patella with black rays, from the Sandwich Islands,
is simple, with a crowded series of laminze on the under side of the
mantle near the union with the foot, interrupted over the head.

The Messrs. Adams have formed a subgenus, Cymbula, for Patella
compressa, which is only a variety of form, produced by the situation
where it lives, of Patella miniata, arranged by them with the true
Patelle. Specimens with the two species combined in the same
individual are not very rare. The subgenus Scutedlastera of the
same authors, I fear, is not more distinct.
The edge of the mantle of Patella oculus is deeply lobed, sub-
stellate like the shell.
The edge of the mantle of Patella testudinaria is fringed with a
series of minute tentacula.
The gills of Patella Testudo are, like those of P. vulgata, united
over the head.
Patella insessa, with a small horny brown shell with three or four
white markings on the apex, is always found imbedded in the fronds
of a Laminaria at California, often so deeply that it must be cut out

OF MOLLUSCA. rei
Fam. XV. CHITONIDZ.
Shells of 8 valves, forming an imbricate series on the middle of
the back. Valves with a more or less wide plate of insertion sunken
into the mantle, with a deep lateral notch on each side; the ante-
rior and posterior valves often with other notches on the terminal
edges. Gills conic, lamellar, in two series, one on each side the
hinder part of the body.
Many anatomists have proposed to separate these animals from the
Mollusca, by forming them into a distinct subclass, and have con-
sidered them more nearly allied to the Annelides!; but I cannot see
the slightest grounds for such a separation; and the observation of
the development from the eggs by Lovén has entirely disproved any
affinity to them. They chiefly differ from other Mollusca in the
shells not bemg developed on the embryo until some time after they
are hatched.
The eggs are loosely united in clusters, on stones. Each egg is
enclosed in a thick, vesicular, folded envelope. The embryo in
the egg is oval (fig. 95a), without any trace of shell, divided by a
circular indentation into two nearly equal parts, close to which are
attached the cirri, by means of which the movements of the embryo
are effected. In the middle of the upper part there is a tuft of
very fine filaments which scarcely exhibit any movement. The
lower half has two dark points (eyes), one on each side close to the
indentation.
The young, when hatched, swim round the cluster of eggs, and
are more elongated ; the front part is finely ciliated, and the anterior
tuft of filaments occasionally vibrates ; the hinder part extends more
rapidly, and becomes conic (figs. 6 & ce). The back is marked with
seven cross furrows; between these the first rudiments of the shell
make their appearance in the form of close granulations. The animal
bends frequently, is quite soft, can only swim, but soon after this
begins to crawl (fig. ¢), and by a circular indentation the mantle is
separated from the foot. The eyes are seen more distinctly to be
situated on the ventral side, and are indistinctly visible from above
fig. d).
; Fie front portion of the animal is sprinkled with acute tubercles,
principally on the upper surface. There is no trace of the mouth.
The furrows of the mantle become more distinctly separated, and its
margin more closely set with acute tubercles. The first shell appears
in the form of narrow bands with irregular margins ; they are seven
in number ; the three or four anterior are equal in breadth ; the hinder
diminish rapidly. The anterior filaments disappear.
The animal sometimes swims and sometimes crawls (figs. d & e).
The front portion developes into the head, having a mouth, with
curved folds in front. The eyes are situated on the sides on distinct
protuberances, and consist of pigment spots and lenses (fig. e). The
foot has not yet assumed its full size. The gills are not yet visible.
N
178 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT
The mantle advances over the head. The front shelly valve has
advanced over the eye (fig. f). The flat tuberculated surface in front
of the valves is gradually diminished, and the eighth valve is pro-
duced behind the seventh.

The valves are at first short, with an irregular wavy outline, but
they increase in thickness and size by the addition of layers on the
under surface ; and as they increase, two deep notches are formed in
the front of the outer sides, which are well marked in the adult
shells (fig. /).
Lovén regards the circle of cirri as analogous to the cirri on the
veil of the young of other Gasteropods and Acephala, but in Chiton
the veil is not developed into a broad extensile sail, and he com-
pares the anterior portion, having the tuft of filaments, to the pear-
shaped body which usually carries the fagellum in the marine Ace-
OF MOLLUSCA. 179
phala. The veil is often absent in other Mollusca, or only appears
as oral or labial tentacles.
The valves are not formed by four united joints; and still less
do they support the opinion that the hinder valve is the true
shell, analogous to Patella, and the anterior valves supplementary
on it.
It has been the habit of conchologists to keep the valves of this
genus attached to the dry mantle of the animal, and to regard them as
a single shell; but it should be recollected that the separate valves
are the analogues of the only parts of the molluscous animals which
are usually kept in cabinets and studied by conchologists.
It has been objected that the character derived from the form
of the plate of insertion of the valves can only be seen by the de-
struction of the specimens as they are usually kept in cabinets, but
they can generally be seen from the under side, or through the sub-
stance of the mantle; when this is not the case, the form of the
plate of insertion can be easily developed by paring away the under
surface of the mantle, so as to show part of the edge of the valves,
without injury to the specimen; and they may be easily made more
visible through the inner side of the mantle by being soaked for a
few hours in a weak solution of caustic potash; but care should be
taken that the specimen is not left too long in soak, nor the solution
be too strong, otherwise the margiv will be dissolved.
__ The form of the plate of insertion may also be easily predicted by
inspecting the inner surface of the valves, for the notches in the
margin leave an impressed line from the vertex of the valve, as they
are gradually filled up by the growth of the valve.
The valves are best separated from the coriaceous skin of the
body, called the mantle, by soaking them in a strong solution of
caustic potash; as then the plates of insertion are cleaned, and not
broken, which they are likely to be if they are taken by force from
the mantle.
The number of notches in the plates of insertion is sometimes, but
very rarely, liable to variation. In one specimen of Chiton Bowenii
in the Museum Collection, the plate of insertion of the last valve but
one has two notches on one side, but the normal single notch of the
genus on the other.
** A Chiton has a carapace like an isopod Crustacean, a dorsal vessel
hike an Annelid, bilateral symmetrical reproductive viscera like an
acephalous Mollusk, a head and foot like a patelloid Gasteropod, a
posterior anus like the Fissurellide, and branchize like those of the
brachyurous Crustacea! Such manifold affinities at once unite and
sever this odd group from several most dissimilar classes.’””—Dr. T.

Body and shell spiral. The lateral central teeth large, irregular.
Operculum none. Terrestrial.
These differ from Pulmonata in the mantle being free from the
nape, leaving the pulmonary cavity open, and in the animal being
upisexual. They differ from Phaneropneumona (p. 78), with which
they have hitherto been united, in the teeth being truly Rephido-
glossal.
Fam. I*. PROSERPINADA! (Erase from p. 86).
Muzzle short, annulated. Tentacles lateral, subulate, short, distant.
Eyes sessile, on the outer side of the base of the tentacles ; sides
simple, without any membranaceous fringe or lateral beards. The
lateral central teeth large, irregular, lobed or dentated. Foot
moderate, truncated in front, acute and keeled above behind, with a
concavity in the front part for the base of the shell, lined with an
extension of the mantle. Operculum none. Shell spiral, depressed ;

whorls close-pressed, more or less covered with a polished coat ;
aperture lunate, with a fold forming a slight truncate canal at the
columnar angle. Peristome simple, acute; throat and inner lip
with spiral laminze ; axis covered with a callous deposit ; the septa
between the upper whorls absorbed.
1. ProserPina (see p. 86).
Shell polished all over. (Mantle expanded and reflexed over the
upper and under part of the shell ?)
1. P. nitida.
2. CERES.
Shell rugose and covered with a periostraca above, smooth and
polished and covered with a thin callous coat beneath. Mantle free
from the back of the neck, with a thick double-edged collar, the
outer edge rather reflexed. The front part of the upper surface of
the foot near the axis of the shell is depressed into a rather expanded
concavity which is lined with an extension of the mantle, having a
raised edge near the margin of the concavity. This raised edge is evi-
dently a continuation of the edge of the mantle of the body, sinuated
at the columnar and outer upper angle of the mouth of the shell.
It is more developed and crumpled up, in the specimens in spirits, on
the left side of the concavity ; and there is little doubt, in the living
state, that this extension of the mantle is expanded out and deposits
the polished callous coat of the under surface of the shell and the
callosity over the axis; hence the larger size of the left side of the
extension.

** The head-lobe in the Bullide is in fact nothing else than the dor-
sal and labial tentacles fused into one continuous mass. This Cuvier
asserted long ago, aud it can very easily be proved on anatomical
grounds. The nerves which supply the oral and dorsal tentacles in
the Gasteropods go to this lobe, the former to the anterior, the latter
to the posterior portion of it (the olfactory nerves to the upper part
of it, hence it is the organ of scent).”—Hancockh, Ann. § Mag. Nat.
Hist. 1852, 188.
“Tn Bulla hydatis the olfactory organ is most highly developed,
and is perfectly similar in structure to that observed in fishes, and
shows the analogy that exists between the dorsal tentacle of Doris
and the olfactory organs of this higher type of form. It is composed
of a central stem, bearing numerous considerably elevated lateral
lamine. Mr. W. Clark, who described it (Ann. §& Mag. Nat. Hist.
1850, vi. 100), erroneously considers these ‘leaflets’ salivary glands.”

1. P. maculata, t. 168. f. 2.
The animal requires re-examination. M. d’Orbigny calls what I
have here considered the head-disk and the body, the front and
hinder portion of the foct, which, he says, unlike any other mollusk,
is divided transversely in half into two very distinct portions. Ifthe
above theory is correct, the foot is spotted, and the upper part of the
body is one-coloured ; but the foot of several Aplysi@ is spotted and
variegated.
Messrs. Adams have referred this genus to the Bullide, but they
have taken the front part of the mantle (of M. d’Orbigny) for a
cephalic disk, though M. d’Orbigny particularly described the mantle
as being continuous, and have made their figure to agree with this
theory, representing it as divided into two distinct portions (see Gen.
Moll. t. 58. f. 5).

The branchia of Pleurobranchus plumula consists of a gently
arcuated stem, having on each side 20 to 25 oblique rami sloping
posteriorly, which are finely ciliated, to beat the water to extract the
air; the two sets of strands fall together from each side of the stem,
forming when expanded an elegant plumose rouleau, tapering gently
from its origin to a conical, though obtuse, posterior termination,
and for a third of its length floating free.—Clark, Moll. p. 271.

The branchial plume of Oscanius membranaceus is composed of
two gently arcuated leaves, tapering from their bases to a pointed
extremity ; each leaf consists of about twenty-five linear vessels or
processes, resembling a twisted cord with a longitudinal depression
in its centre, which is the branchial artery, and crossed on each side
by transverse lines; these cord-like fillets are closely packed toge-
ther and taper to their terminations, which float free. The two
portions of the plume fold on each other, with fine short cilia on
each of the strize, to beat the water and eliminate air therefrom.—
