182 MOLLUSCA FROM THE CRAG 
Shell transverse, elliptical, somewhat compressed, semisulcated, inequilateral , 
posterior side the longer, and truncated; lunule deep, of an elongated heartshape ; 
margin without crenulations. 
Localities. Mam. Crag, Bridlington, Bramerton ? 
Glacial Beds of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and North of England, (Forées.) 
Uddevalla. Recent, Coast of Scotland, Finmark, and Greenland. 
I have seen only one specimen of this species belonging to the Mammaliferous 
Crag, and that is from the Cabinet of Mr. Bean, who has obligingly permitted me to 
have it figured, and this appears the oldest Deposit in which it is found; there is no 
specimen in my Cabinet from the Red Crag that can be fairly referred to this species ; 
it is stated by Messrs. Forbes and Hanley to be particularly abundant in the more recent 
beds of the glacial or antihuman period. This shell is said never to have its margins 
crenulated, in which it differs essentially from the elliptical variety of 4. Omalit. 
In the living state it appears confined to the northern portion of our seas, extending 
into the colder regions of Finmark and Greenland, and is said to have a vertical range 
of from 10 to 40 fathoms, usually on a muddy bottom.
