CONCny Ll\—niTHYRA. 50. 229 



Shell nearly two inches long, and one and a half broad, oblong 

 inclining to oval, rather flat, with a rough but not an undulating 

 surface; inside more or less of a rose color, but not pearly as in 

 the Auomia Ephippium ; beaks terminal; the under valve thin 

 but not scaly. 



Young shells have a triangular appearance, the sides being cut 

 down to an obtuse point, as in our plate ; but in surface and dirty 

 white color resemble the full grown ones. 



The figures of Chemnitz, above quoted, give an exact resem- 

 blance of the full grown shell. We have as yet found only a few 

 of them, at the very lowest spring tide, near Broadsands in Tor- 

 bay, where their collection is of momentary opportunity, and 

 attended witii some personal risk.
