 Venus rlexuosa. Donovan, t. 42. f. 2. 



Inhabits the coasts of Britain. Donovan, fyc. 



Shell about three-eighths of an inch long, and not quite so 

 broad ; very convex, thin, pellucid, brittle, white, and marked 

 irregularly with minute concentrical striae ; a remarkable 

 furrow extends from the apex, parallel to the cartilage-slope, 

 and forms a deep curve in the margin at its termination ; the 

 hinge has only an obsolete tooth. Mr. Donovan has figured an 

 accidental variety, with a deep indenture in the front of the 

 margin, and hence considered it to be the Venus sinuosa of 

 Pennant, which appears to be a much broader shell. 



carnaria. 65. Shell sub-orbicular, smooth, flesh- 

 coloured both within and without, and mark- 

 ed with minute oblique reflected striae.

 Shell about three-quarters of an inch long, and a little more 

 in breadth ;, sub-pellucid, flattish, rather more produced on 

 one side than the other, and of a flesh or rose colour, both 

 within and without ; it may be at once distinguished by the 

 delicate minute crowded striae, with which it is covered, and 

 which are curved and reflected in different directions ; the 

 hinge, which is placed a little on the posterior side, has two 

 small teeth in one valve, and one in the other, with strong 

 laminated lateral teeth, somewhat like those of Cardium. 

 It belongs to Lamarck's Genus Lucina. 



/on ata. 66. Shell sub-orbicular, ventricose, thick, 

 somewhat angulated at the anterior end, and 

 oLsoletely striated transversely.
