                     3. Genus _Monodonta_. Pl. XI.

_Animal._ See Trochus.

_Shell._ This genus appears to be the connecting link between the
Trochus and Turbo; distinguished from the former, by an entirely rounded
aperture, slightly depressed; from the latter, by the toothlike
projecting angle the truncated columella occasions at the base; an
operculum. Inhabits the Chinese seas. Thirty-four species.

                       4. Genus _Turbo_. Pl. XI.

_Animal._ Very similar to that of Trochus, the sides sometimes
ornamented with tentacular appendages, varying in number and form; head
proboscidiform; tentacula thin and setaceous.
