Dr G. could suggest nothing for almond, but on looking at the drawing of the male Whelk (Buccinum nu|datum) creeping, in the Penny Cyclopædia, v. 9, p. 454, col. 2 (art. Entomostomata), it is quite clear that the almond must mean the animal's horny, oval operculum on its hinder part. 'Most spiral shells have an operculum, or lid, with which to close the aperture when they withdraw for shelter. It is developed on a particular lobe at the posterior part of the foot, and consists of horny layers, sometimes hardened with shelly matter.' Woodward's Mollusca, p. 47.]  & gutt / almond & mantille, [That part of the integument of mollusca which contains the viscera and secretes the shell, is termed the mantle.
