LiNNÉ's "Venus virginea" is a collective species which includes the European 

 Tapes rbomboides, Penn., and the East Indian T. hiantinus, Lam. The limits and the 

 variabilitj' in form of the latter species have not yet been sufficiently investigated, 

 and in the future it will doubtless be proved that it includes still more forms than 

 the Lamarckian species mentioned above. The specimens from the Gulf of Siam 

 agree most closely with the T. hiantinus-tristis forms.
