Our largest specimen of this beautiful shell measures three 

 quarters of an inch in length, and an inch and a quarter in breadth; 

 but in general it is not much above half the size : color yellowish, 

 with red longitudinal rays which are irregularly disposed, and often 

 interrupted, appearing in a fainter manner on the inside : beaks 

 close to the abrupt end : hinge with a single cloven tooth in one 

 valve, and lateral ones ; in the other two teeth, one of them cloven, 

 and a strong rather remote lateral tooth on each side. 



Tellina testa ovato-trigond transversim striolatd, latere antico sub- '^™*^"l''ita-
