[345] Mr. B. B. Woodward has recently pointed out (P. Z. S. 1892, p. 528) a very remarkable method of shell absorption and growth in Velates and certain other Neritidae.
[346] The only exception appears to be Pedipes, while in Cassidula and Scarabus the absorption is partial (Crosse and Fischer, Journ. de Conch. xxx. p. 177 f.).
[347] Strombus and Pteroceras (see Fig. [99], p. 200) exceptionally develop a siphonal notch which is distinct from the anterior canal.
[348] The columella, as distinct from the columella lip, is the solid pillar of shell round which the whorls are coiled (Fig. [177]), the lower, or anterior portion of which alone is usually visible.
