THE HUNGARIAN BONNET SHELL,

(_Pileopsis Ungarica_.)

The _Pileopsis Ungarica_ is extremely elegant both in its form and

markings; it is of a delicate white, slightly tinged, internally, with

rose-colour. The animal attaches itself to rocks, between high and low

water mark, and very rarely, if ever, changes its situation, unless

removed by accident, when it is driven about by the waves, until the

creature, being thrown on a rock in a favourable situation, attaches

itself firmly to the surface.
