CONCHOLOGIA CESTRICA. 97 inhabit still waters, and running streams — some pre- ferring the one, some the other. The species are widely distributed, and their appearance so much influenced by locality, as to produce many varieties, which have too often been mistaken for new species, and named as such, causing much confusion, and a needless synonymy. The same remark will apply to many other families of fresh water shells, especially the Strepomatidse. The habits of the animals of Pisidium and Sphaer

The form, the sculpture, the painting, of the shells have not changed; but the inquiry has gone forth—Who are the artistic builders of those beautiful forms ? and what is their organic, and life history ? To answer these in- quiries, they have been interrogated in every sea, on every shore, on the land, and in the water, and sub- jected to the severest microscopic scrutiny. The stores of information, thus brought back, whether
