The winkles accomplish for the marine-tank what the fresh-water snails do for the river-tank, they scrape confervoid growths from the glass, and so help to preserve the crystalline aspect of the tank. All the species of winkle are capable of domestication, Littorina littorea, the commmon sort, and E. Uttoralis, a pretty little fellow, with a gaily mottled PORCELLANA PLATYCHELES, CANCER PAGURUS.
