Species 233. (Fig. 4, Mus. Taylor, see Plate XLI.) 
TELLINA TEXTURATA. The small shell here figured is 
evidently a pink variety of the species described at 
the place cited. 

Species 257. (Fig. 6, Mus. Hanley, see Plate XLIV.) 
TELLINA cERASUM. It is thought desirable to give a 
fizure of the right as well as the left valve of this 
unique specimen. 

Species 262. (Mus. Hanley.) 
Tetina ELEVATA. Tel. testd tenuissimd, albd, pallid? 
ceruleo fasciatd, altd, retrorsd, inflatd, liris distanti- 
bus tenuissimis concentrice sculptd; latere postico 
brevi ; margine dorsali declivi, termino subtruncato, 
angulatim flexuoso ; margine ventrali valde sursum 
acclivi, ante angulum subemarginato ; latere antico 
subobliquo, prope umbones inflato ; margine ventrali 
rotundo ; umbonibus acutis ; dentibus cardinalibus mi- 
nutis, lateralibus nullis. 
ELEVATED TELLINA. Shell very thin, white, 
banded with a pale bluish tint, tall, leaning back- 
wards, inflated, concentrically sculptured with dis- 
tant, very thin ridges; posterior side short; dorsal 
margin sloped downwards, end subtruncated, angu- 
larly flexuous; ventral margin much sloped upwards, 
slightly emargiuated in front of the angle; anterior 
side rather oblique, inflated near the umboes; ven- 
tral margin round; umboes sharp; cardinal teeth 
ininute, lateral none.

Hab. Pulicat Lake, Coromandel. 
In texture resembling Zedlina iridescens, but differing 
from that species in the form. 

Species 264. (Fig. a, 6, Mus. Sowerby.) 
TELLINA ARMATA. Tel. testd oblongd, compressa, tenui, 
levigatd, politd, semipellucidd, albidd, versus margines

Shell oblong, compressed, thin, 
smooth, polished, semipellucid, whitish, salmon- 
tinted towards the margins and umboes, armed with- 
in, in front of the posterior angle, with an opaque> 
white oblique rib, and near the middle with an ob- 
lique white ray in each valve; posterior side narrow 
obtusely angular; dorsal margin excavated behind; 
the umboes, alittle sloped ; terminal margin obliquely 
truncated, acuminated below ; ventral margin sloped 
upwards to the angle, straight in the middle; ante-

Hab. ? 
This beautiful species presents a second example of the 

shell being strengthened by an interior radiating rib, in 
the same manner as in Zedlina lanceolata.
