13. Tellina jubar (pl.lxiii. f. 214.) Hanky, Zool.Proc.1844. 

 T. virjijatii, var. JFood, Gen. Cone. t. 36. f. 2. Enc. Meth. t. 288. 

 f. 4. (bad). 



T. testa specie priore magis triangularis altiore, minus elongata ; 

 rubro-purpurea, racliis albis aut albidis ornatfi; margine vcntrali 

 subarcuato ; dorsali utrinque decliviore ; superficie interna albida, 

 aut coloribus externis fucata. 



Extremely like Vlrgata, but more triangular and less elongated, 

 the dorsal slopes being more sudden; theventral edge is more convex, 

 and less straight in the middle ; the external colouring of broader 

 and narrower wliite rays on a dull rosy or reddish ground, is fre- 

 quently visible on the otherwise wliite surface of the interior. 



Mus. Cmning. 



The ligamental margin inclines to convexity, wliich is the reverse 

 of what we meet with in Vlrgata and Marginalis. 



14. Tellina marginalis (pi. Ixiii. f. 216.) Dilw. Des. Cat. 

 p. 74; Chem. f. 68, (tolerable). 



T. testa Virgatse et Jubaris maxime assimili, altiore autem, 

 raagisque rotundata ; margine ventrali plane arcuato, postice sursum 

 acclivi ; dorsali utrinque leviter declivi ; superficie externa albida, 

 radiis rubescentibus ornata. 



Closely allied to the two preceding, but less oblong than either ; 

 the ventral edge much more arcuated, and ascending abruptly on 

 the posterior side ; the ligamental edge sloping, but slightly and 

 somewhat concavely ; the coloming whitish, with pale rosy-red or 

 deep flesh-coloured rays ; interior nearly wliite.

T. testa ovali aut oblongo-ovah, solida, convexa, nitida, extus in- 

 tusque albida aut flavida, radiis angustis roseis confertis plerumque

 catis, postice submembranaceis et paucioribus (plerumque in vahada 

 altera omnino obsoletis) ; margine ventrali convexo ; dorsali antice 

 subdeclivi et vix convexiusculo, postice dechvi et subrecto ; latere

 obtuse angulata; natibus plerumque roseis, nonnunquam cruce 

 roseo-rubra notatis ; ligamento magno, subcoiispicuo ; dentibus la- 

 teralibus magnis, subsequidistantibus.
