Observations. — A single left valve of this species has beau 

 already recorded from the eocene beds of Table Cape on the 

 authority of Professor Tate, founded upon a specimen collected by 

 Mr. R. M. Johnston. There is a single right valve in the present 

 collection, the state of which gives rise to an element of doubt, 

 and suggests the possibility that it may have accidentally become 

 entangled in some of the detritus of the shore line. Upon 

 questioning Mr. Atkinson as to where this shell was collected, he 

 said that he could not be certain that it was obtained in situ., and 

 thought that it might probably have been included from beach 

 material. I shall be very glad to receive any further information 

 which may tend to prove or disprove with certainty the occur- 

 rence of this species as a fossil in these beds. Additional colour 

 is lent to this doubt by the presence in the collection of the shelly 

 tube of a marine worm, a living species, evidently included among 

 the fossils accidentally, for it is still in a very fresh condition, 

 despite a certain amount of erosion suffered on the beach. Also 

 by the record by Mr. R. M. Johnston of Area trapezia, Deshayes, 

 as a Table Cape fossil, subsequently, however, expunged from the 

 list.
