Excerpt from Index Testaceologicus, or a Catalogue of Shells, British and Foreign, Arranged According to the Linnean System: With the Latin and English Names, References to Authors, and Places Where Found

The figures of Montagu and Donovan have been constantly quoted for the British Shells, and where the species is confined to Britain, the word alone is mentioned; but where it occurs also in other parts of the world, it is denoted by Britain, Sic. Thus the shells that have been observed on our coasts will be immediately detected.
