Venus (Timoclea) arakana Nevill.

 Invest./ vol. iv, p. 11, PI. VII, fig. 2.

Tapes corrugatus [Gmelin). 



Tapes corrugatus DesJiai/es : Sowerby, 'Marine Shells 

 S. Africa,' p. 59. 



The author of this species Avas Gmelin, and not Deshayes as 

 given by Reeve ('Conch. Icon.,' vol. xiv, sp. 72). Mr. Sowerby 

 may have been misled by Reeve's mistake. It is curious 

 that Deshayes has quoted this species ('Cat. Conchifera Brit. 

 Mus.,' pp. 184, 185) both under the name corrugata 

 Gmelin and obsoleta Chemnitz, both being founded on the 

 same figure in the Conchylien-Cabinet. 



Petricola robusta Soirerhij. 

 With this species should be united P. typica Jonas.

Hab. — South Africa (Pilsbry) ; Madagascar, Mozambique. 



This and the two following species are recorded by Mr. 

 Pilsbry as occurring "in ballast from South Africa," a rather 

 unsatisfactory locality.
