A few valves only of this rare shell have come under our notic<-. 

 it is evidently distinct from the last, both in form and the disposi- 

 tion of the teeth : in breadth it is hardly a quarter of an inch, with 

 the anterior side somewhat angularly pointed, but not flexuous: the 

 outside has no metallic gloss, but is of a clear dead white ; and 

 there is a lateral tooth in each of the valves : the oblique striae arc 

 finer and more remote, most visible near the margin, both inside 

 and outside, and have not the curdled appearance which mark tlu' 

 Tellina Fabula.
