500 FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 
TELLINA FIJIENSIS, Sowerby. 
Smith, loc. cat., p. 107. 
A few separate valves from the lagoon beach. 
Previously reported from Marutea, Paumotus ; and Ngau and 
Levuka, Fiji. 
TELLINA CREBRIMACULATA, Sowerby. 
Sowerby, Joc. cit., pl. li., sp. 301. 
A few separate valves from the lagoon beach. 
Hitherto only recorded from Fiji. 
TELLINA ELLICENSIS, Sp. nov. 
(Fig. 53). 
Shell small, very solid, opaque, very inequilateral, rather inflated 
anteriorly, height two-thirds of the length, truncate posteriorly. 
Colour white, irregularly painted with small rose spots and streaks. 
Sculptured over the entire surface by fine, close, concentric threads. 
Umbo prominent. Fold almost obselete. Dorsal margin straight, 
then curved anteriorly. Anterior margin curved the third of a 
circle. Ventral margin nearly straight, scarcely sinuated by the 
fold. Hinge composed of two cardinal teeth, a strong anterior 
lateral and a weaker posterior lateral tooth. Length 6, height 
4 mm. 
This species is allied by sculpture and contour to 7’. tenuzlirata, 
Sowerby, from which a much shorter, broader outline clearly 
separates it. 
One right valve was found on the beach of the Funafuti 
lagoon. 
LipiTInA GUINAICA, Lamarck. 
Reeve, Conch. Icon., i., Cypricardia, 1843, pl. ii., species 13. 
Plentiful dead on the beaches ; once found alive in a crevice 
in a block of coral in the lagoon. 
The only other Pacific record seems to be the finding of it by 
Hugh Cuming at Marutea, Paumotus.
