One specimen only of this long-known and common recent species was found by 
myself, many years ago, and, I think, in the Red Crag at Sutton. I believe it is not 
rare in the neighbourhood of Norwich. As the living species is subject to consider- 
able variation in its outward form, there is no difficulty whatever in finding the exact 
resemblance of our fossil among recent specimens. The habits of the living animal 
lead it almost exclusively to the estuary portion of the sea, which may perhaps be a 
reason why it has not been more frequently met with. I have obtained one specimen 
from Clacton, in association with Unio, Cardium, §c. There is a slight difference 
in the tumidity of the two valves, causing thereby a difference in the palleal impression, 
like that in some of the Ze/lens.
