Mr. Hanley has clearly established the fact that this is 
the true Tellina rostrata of Linneeus, although not of 
subsequent authors.

Tellina inequalis, Hanley (var.). 
Hab. Siquijor, Philippines. Var. inequalis, Ceylon. 
Tellina spinosa is a small shell resembling this in 
general form, but having a second row of small spines on 
the posterior dorsal area; it may possibly be the same in 
a young state, and the smaller spines may become obsolete 
when full grown.
