TJie Marine Mollusca of Bombay. 5 1 



Fam. Pandorid.e. 



Pandora (Brug.). 



P.flexiiosa (Sowb.). 



Common in shingle. 



Fam. Anatinid.^. 



Anatina (Lam.). 



A. labiata (Reeve). 



Found in some quantity amongst seaweed cast up by a 

 storm, otherwise rarely met with, perhaps because of its 

 extreme fragility. 



Thracia (Blaine.). 



T. Salsettensis (Melvill), sp. nov. 



Like the last, extremely fragile, which may account for 

 so large and fine a shell having hitherto escaped descrip- 

 tion. Have only met with single valves. 



P'am. LiNGULID.E. 



LiNGULA (Brug.). 



L. Jiians (Swainson). 



Dug up in quantity at low tides out of black mud. 



N.B. — The arrangement followed is that adopted by 

 M. Paul Fischer in the Mamiel de ConcJiyliologie, 1887.

Whilst these sheets have been passing through the 

 press, we have had the opportunity of perusing a very 

 interesting article by a writer signing himself ' Keswal,' in 

 the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society y in which 

 much pleasant, if discursive, information is given about the 

 productions of the waters of Western India, especially those 

 of the Konkan region. He does not name, however, any 

 specimens of Mollusca (excepting one or two Cephalopoda), 

 to which we have not already made reference.
