[ cannot find any shell already named which corresponds

with this which I have named sudérigona, on account of 
the rectangular slope of the dorsal margin on each side of 
the umboes.

THE DIsstMILaR TeLLINa. Shell thin, ovate, subcom- 
pressed, subequilateral, white or yellow, rayed with 
rose or orange, right valve only very minutely ob- 
liquely striated, posterior side rather shorter, obliquely 
truncated, anterior side wide, rounded at the end ; 
dorsal margin sloping posteriorly, slightly arched and 
elevated in front, lateral teeth none. 
Conrab, Journ. of Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. vol. vii. 
Hab. Sandwich Islands and island of Bohol, Philippines. 
The species is named dispar on account of the right valve 
only being microscopically sculptured with oblique striz.

gusto, breviusculo, versus terminum attenuato, 
THe Leary Teprina. Shell oblong, compressed, solid, 
shining, dull-orange, very minutely striated, posterior 
side wide, rather long, widely truncated, angulated
