"There has been much variation in the opinions of naturalists respecting the proper place of genus Dentalium. Cuvier, a very celebrated writer, agreed nearly with Lamarck; but still more recently it has been considered as nearest to a new genus, Fissurella, (Patella.) The fossil-shells are found in London clay in great numbers; in the marle at Folkstone, &c.
"Spirorbis. All the species are minute, fixed upon sea-weeds, and other marine substances. The animal which inhabits them is of a deep red colour.
