 Found by Captain Laskcy, in the Frith of Forth. 



Shell half an inch long, and three quarters of an inch broad, 

 rounded at one end and obtusely jjointed at the other, of a purplish 

 color and more or less clouded, covered when fresh with an olive- 

 yellow skin ; inside white round the margin ; and in one valve is 

 a marginal channel from the teeth almost to the end of the longer 

 side: in one valve a single tooth, and two approximate slightly 

 cloven ones in the other. 



We are unacquainted with this shell, but from the above descrip- 

 tion, extracted from Montagu, in which no mention is made of lateral 

 teeth, suspect it to belong to this genus.
