I. Elina tenuis, ad ambonem extra maxime rubefcens. List. Hift. Conchyl, 
Tab. 397+ No. 236. 
This is about an Inch from the Cardo to the Circumference and near two 
Inches from one corner to the other, fmoothand all white, The Shell is ve- 
ry thin and varies in Magnitude. 
I found it with the former, and fometimes bor’d thro’ by other Shells 
or the Parpura’s as1 fuppofe, and caft on the Shores. 
Ml. Tellina magna nivea minime ambitu ferrata, interdum lutefcens aa car- 
dinem puncto rubro tnfignita. 
This is not fo broad as the foregoing being not half fo broad from the 
Cardo tothe Part of the Circumference oppofite to it. ”Tis all white 
and hath on the outfide a fcarlet Spot over the Cardo or Hinge, which I 
did not obferve upon the former, tho’ Dr. Lz/fer mentions it in the Title 
he gives it. The former feems more circular or round on the fide oppofite 
to the Hinge than this which is almoft ftreight. 
I found it on the Shores of Sfamaica and am not certain whether it 
be different from the former, thefe Shells being in great Plenty found at 
Nieves, Barbadoes, and even in Pembrokefbire. Among them are fome yel- 
lowifh, others with red Spots within as well as without the Cardo, and 
others all white. :

hollow, of a yellowifh white or made up of Rings or Fa/cie that are of that 
Colour. It hatha Séwws on one fide and varies very much in Largenefs, 
Colours, cc. 
I found it on the Shores of amaica, and have had it taken up from the 
Shores of Exgland.

rajcens. Pet. Gaz, Nat. Tab. 18. Fig. 4. Tranfaét. Phil. No. 299. No. 18. 
This Shell is white, about an Inch long from one Corner of the fide of 
the Shell oppofite co the Cardo to the other, about three quarters of an Inch 
from the Cardo to the oppofite Part of the Circumference. It hath many 
fivte or Ribs running the fame Way from the Cardo to the Circumference,
