![sions, viz. those having a scaly margin, as the C.squa- mosus, &c. constitute the first division; others having a coriaceous margin form the second division; and the third consists at present only of one species, the C. spinosus, the margin of which is beset with spines. The Chiton derives its name from its resem- blance to a coat of mail (yirwy). Diyiston ].—Having a scaly margin. Scientific Name. Locality. Common Name.

The C. porosus and C. larveeformis of this division deserve particular notice, as in some respects their characters differ from those of the other species. The valves of the C. porosus are perforated by a small slit, and the ligament of the C. larveformis (which in other species merely surrounds the margin) almost envelops the whole shell, and gives it the appearance of a caterpillar.
