A few valves only of this rare shell have come under our no- 

 tice : it is evidently distinct from the last, both in form and the 

 disposition 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 are Hner and more remote, most visible near the 

 mar<;in, both inside and outside, and have not the curdled appear- 

 ance which mark the Tellina Fabula.

 Shell oval, transversely striate, very obtuse at the anterior end, 

 in one valve two teeth and a lateral tooth each side, in the
