TELLINA (ANGULUS) RECURVA Ball, 1900. 



Gulf of California. 



White or pinki.sh, l)lunt and oval, with the shape of 2Iac(>iJi<t lraui<el 

 Dall. 



TELLINA (ANGULUS) MODESTA Carpenter, 1864. 



Puget Sound. 



Shell small, white, rather short, with a thick but o])scurcly defined 

 Y?i\ behind the anterior adductor scar. 



TELLINA (SCISSULA) VIRGO Hanley, 1844. 



Gulf of California, La Paz, to Chiriqui. 



Pink or white, compressed. The Pacific analogue of Telllna {Scis- 

 sula) exilis Lamarck, but more compressed, more arcuate, and less 

 pointed behind. 



TELLINA (OUDARDIA) BUTTONI Dall, 1900. 



Lituya Bay, Alaska, to Gulf of California. 



This is the Pacific analogue of Tellina compresm. Brocchi of the 

 Mediterranean, The radial rib is well defined, and the shell is longer 

 and more inequilateral than Tellina modesta Carpenter. The shell is 

 white, often with a conspicuous olive green periostracum, which, how- 

 ever, is not unfrequently absent, or rather pale 3^ellow or colorless. 

 The species is the Tellina {Angulua) var. ohtmus Carpenter, ISO-t, but 

 not Tellina ohtusa Sowerby, 1818. 



TELLINA (PERONIDIA) LUTEA Gray, 1828. 



Cape Espenlierg, north of Bering Strait, south to Kamchatka and 

 north Japan on the west, through Bering Sea, the Aleutians, and east 

 to Cooks Inlet. 



This fine shell is the Tellina <j\iil<lfordkc, Gray, ISSl, the TelJina 

 aUernldentata Broderip and Sowerby, 1821), but not the Tellina lutea 

 of Krause, 1885 (which from author's specimens proves to be a 

 Macoma). The TMina venulosa Schrenck, 1S61, from north Japan, is 

 probably identical, or at most a variety. 



TELLINA (PERONIDIA) BODEGENSIS Hinds, 1844. 



Queen Charlotte Islands and Vancouver to San Diego. California; 

 (Japan ^). 



The name is misspelled bodejensis by Bertin, 1878, who proposes to 

 unite with it the Miocene Tellina emacerafa Conrad, 1849, from Oregon, 

 a course which I regard as unwarranted, though suggested l>v Car- 

 penter. The Tellina t<ulcatina Deshayes, 1854, is closely related to
