430 shell, a member of the division of ampullariform Natics, was found by the Duchess of Argyle in the pleistocene beds at Ardincaple. That specimen was presented to Mr. Smith, and was figured and described by Captain Brown in the eighth volume of the Wernerian Transactions. It has since, unfortunately, been destroyed. From its delicacy, it is not likely to occur in the more disturbed beds of the drift, but should be looked for in the Clyde beds. It is extremely probable that when an opportunity for comparison may occur, the Bulbus Smithii will be found to be identical with the Natica flava of Gould, a rare living inhabitant of the Newfoundland Bank.
