Shell rather thin, with 12 to 20 primary ribs, and shorter 

 secundary ribs between them ; interior pinkish, rayed throughout 

 with white under the ribs. 



Dr. von Martens thinks that this may be Patella lacunosa, Reeve. 

 The animal and dentition are unknown. 



Perhaps Patella campbelli, Filhol, (Comptes Eendus, XCI., p. 

 1095, 1880), may be this species but the diagnosis is not sufficient 

 for identification.
