 Hab. Island of Corregidor, Philippine Islands. 

 Found among coarse sand at a depth of six fathoms. 

 Many of these small shells have received an injury which has de- 

 stroyed the mouth, and the present specimen has not escaped. 



Descriptions of some new species of the Genus Lima, in the col- 

 lection of H. Cuming, Esq., by G. B. Sowerby, Jun., were read.

Hab. Bolinao, Ins. Luzon Philippinarum. H. Cuming legit. 

 I have seen only one specimen of this very distinct small shell, 

 which differs from L.fragilis (Chemn. t. 68. f. 650.) in being more 

 ventricose, and having the margin nearly closed all round. In the 

 latter respect it resembles L. Loscombii, Leach {Bullata, Turton). 

 Found in sandy mud : ten fathoms.

 oblique rotundatd, prope umbones august at d ; cardine brevi; au- 

 riculis parvis, posticd acutd: colore albo. 

 Long. 0-90; lat. 0-60; alt. MO. 

 Hab. Panama. H. Cuming legit. 



In form resembling L. Loscombii, from which it differs in having 

 an hiatus on both sides, and a rather strong angle at the base of the 

 posterior lateral margin. Collected at Panama, in sandy mud, at 

 twelve to twenty fathoms.
