It would exceed the limits prescribed by the nature of this work to enlarge on a subject which may, perhaps, be entered upon more minutely elsewhere. Our present intention is merely-to introduce to the reader a further division of the Genus as left by Lamarck into the genera Cymba, Mela and Voluta. The student, when he comes to consider this last Genus after the proposed separations, increased as it has been by the new species which have (a) Under this expression, Australia and all countries, excepting America and its islands, are meant to be included. At 'present there is no positive evidence of any species of Cymba being found in the New, World. ' But Captain Marryat saw at the Cape of Good Hope, two shells, which, from his description, were most probably Cyml-e, and which the proprietor assured him came from the Rio de la Plata.
