3. Genus _Ampullaria_. Pl. X.
_Animal._ Inflated, globular, spiral; foot oval, with a transverse
furrow at its anterior edge; head wide; tentacula superior, very long,
conical, and pointed; eyes situated at their external base, and
supported upon a very apparent peduncle; mouth vertical, situated
between two lips disposed in form of a horse-shoe and forming a kind of
muzzle; no superior tooth; a bristly lingual band, but not prolonged
into the abdominal cavity; a very large respiratory cavity, divided in
two by an incomplete horizontal partition.
Animals of this genus are oviparous; producing an egg nearly as large as
that of a pigeon, in which is found the young animal complete, and in a
perfectly formed shell.
_Shell._ This genus appears to partake of the characteristics, both of
the Paludina and the Natica, being fluviatile and frequently attaining a
large size; spire very short, the last whorl much larger than all the
others together; globular, very ventricose, umbilicus small, forming a
compressed funnel-shaped aperture, without interior callosity; aperture
longer than broad, with margins united; columellar lip thickened,
projecting and reflected over the umbilicus; operculum horny. Inhabits
the rivers of Europe. Thirteen species.

NERITACEA. Four genera.
1. Genus _Neritina_. Pl. X.
_Animal._ Globular; foot circular, thick, without a furrow anteriorly,
or a lobe for the operculum posteriorly, with a bipartite columellar
muscle; conical tentacula; eyes subpedunculate at their external side;
mouth without labial tooth, but with a denticulated tongue prolonged
into the visceral cavity; a single large pectiniform branchia.
_Shell._ This genus was formerly classed with the Nerita, which in form
it much resembles, but from the circumstance of the latter inhabiting
the sea, and Neritinæ fresh water, it now forms a separate genus. Thin,
smooth, or finely striated, in all the species known, the right side of
the aperture does not possess any crenulations or teeth; the operculum
is provided with a lateral tooth on one side. Some species are armed
with spines; aperture semicircular; left margin smooth and sharp; spire
imperfect, generally dissolved by the animal. Inhabits the fresh water
rivers of Europe. Twenty-seven species.

thin, deeply slit at the left side; the two lobes pointed, and forming
by their union a kind of canal to conduct water into the branchial
cavity, and including two very long unequal branchial combs.
_Shell._ This beautiful genus derives its name from its resemblance to
the human ear. The exterior, tuberculated, and generally loaded with
marine substances, giving it an uncouth appearance, but its iridescent
interior forms a magnificent contrast; it is pearly, with all the hues
of the rainbow, recurving very depressed, oval, spire very small,
sometimes eroded, almost posterior, aperture as large as the shell, with
margins reflected inwards, the right sharp, left flat, and enlarged;
disk pierced with holes, disposed in a line parallel to and near the

difficulty. Inhabits the sea at Molucca. Nineteen species.
