As SPENGLER’S original specimens of T. carinata are in the Zoological Museum 
of the University of Copenhagen, it has been possible for me to verify the fact that 
SOWERBY’S species emarginata is synonymous with the present species. SowERBY’s 
specific name must therefore give place to that given by SpENGLER, which has 
the priority. GmeE.Lin’s name oblonga (from 1790) has not the priority, because 
CHEMNITZ, in 1782, mentions SPENGLER’s manuscript-name carinata, which SPENGLER 
himself afterwards published. The native land of the species has been very erroneously 
recorded; SPENGLER records the coast of Guinea, CHEMNiTz and Satis Marscuuins! 
the European Seas, and Sowersy Brazil, all of which localities are undoubtedly 
wrong.

LaMARCK states that the interior of his specimens are ornamented with orange, 
red, or purple rays, but this is not the case with the individuals which I have 
before me, all of which are interiorly (and exteriorly) uniform in colour, pale-red 
(flesh-coloured). As regards the lateral teeth, HANLEY (Thesaur. Conchyl.) observes, 
“lateral tooth distinct, approximated,” while REEVE, in his diagnosis, says, “dentibus 
lateralibus nullis.’ V. Bertin and Hrpauco, on the basis of the latter statement, 
without investigating the subject more closely, have referred the species to Macoma.
