Pier. iG - 
PATELLA PARVA.. 
SMALL LIMPET. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Shell small, entire, without gloss, whitish, faintly rayed with red, 
PATELLA PARVA: integra, parva, sublzvis, albescens radiis ruben- 
tibus. Da Costa Br. Conch. p. 7. sp. 3. 
Da Costa considers this as a nondescript species; he received 
several specimens of it from the coasts of Dorsetshire, but nevef 
from any other of the British shores, and therefore proposes it as a 
gearce Shell. 
It is rather larger than a pea, thin, and semipellucid ; of a depressed 
conic shape, and the vertex inclining very much to one side. The 
inside is whitish, outside the same, with a few longitudinal rays of 
pale red, or purplish brown.
