440 BULLETIN OF THE 



very faintly waved or truncate under the posterior adductor scar, and there is 

 an incised line about the rather small lunule, as in the other species. Unfortu- 

 nately the soft parts were not obtained. 



A more interesting capture at the same haul of the dredge was a shell with 

 the hinge of the original Callocardia, no distinct incised border to the lunule, 

 and a deep acutely angular pallial sinus; this will form a section of the genus 

 under the name of Callogonia. The species attains a length of two inches, 

 having about the form of Tapes turgida Lam. as figured in the Thesaurus, and 

 the exterior of the same dull straw-color, marked only by incremental lines, 

 which characterizes the other species of Callocardia; described in this paper. 

 It will be named, in honor of Prof. L. A. Lee, directing the scientific work of 

 the Albatross party, Callocardia (Callogonia) Leeana. It is remarkable that 

 four species of this extremely rare group, and one of the still rarer genus 

 Meiocardia, should have been found in so limited an area, and with little time 

 expended in dredging. 



Veneriglossa (I. p. 275). The genus Atopodonta Cossman, 1887, (Mem. 

 Soc. Roy. Mai. de Belgique, XXI. p. 110, type Venus coniformis Deshaj^es, 

 op. cit., p. Ill, pi. vi. figs. 3-6), appears to be identical with this group, if the 

 figures of the type are to be relied upon. 



Tellina (I. p. 277). Tellina Antoni Phil, and T. squamifera Desh. extend 

 northward in moderate depths to the vicinity of Cape Hatteras, N. C. A 

 single valve of T. sybaritica Dall has since been received from Florida. It 

 is pure white. It extends to Brazil. T. tenta Say appears to reach the 

 Antilles, where it is known as T. Souleyetiana Recluz. 



Poromya elongata Dall (I. p. 283). This species was figured by Agassiz, 

 Three Cruises of the Blake, Vol. II. p< 72, fig. 302, 1888. A figure is given 

 herewith, Plate XXXIX. fig. 3. It belongs to the section Cetomya. 



Poromya (Cetoconcha) bulla Dall (I. p. 283). This species was also 

 figured by Prof. Agassiz, II. p. 72, figs. 300, 301, 1888, and is here shown on 

 Plate XXXIX. figs. 2 and 5.

Verticordia perversa Dall (I. p. 289). This species is figured on Plate 

 XXXIX. fig. 4. Prof. Agassiz figured it, II. p. 74, fig. 309, 1888. 



Verticordia elegantissima Dall (I. p. 291). An adult specimen of this 

 species is figured on Plate XXXIX. fig. 7, and was illustrated on p. 74, fig. 308, 

 of the second volume of Prof. Agassiz's work.

Cuspidaria microrhina Dall (I. p. 295). This species is figured on Plate 

 XL. figs. 2 and 3. It was figured by Prof. Agassiz, II. pp. 73, 74, figs. 306, 

 307, 1888. 



Bushia elegans Dall (I. p. 310). This species is figured on Plate XXXIX. 

 fig. 1. It will also be found in Prof. Agassiz's work above cited, II. p. 74, 

 fig. 310, 1888.
