 Long. 4, lat. 3J-, alt. If poll. Hab. Hawaii, Sandwich Islands. 



The colors of the interior, in small specimens, are very rich, 

 and the shell is of a rounded shield-like form, like P. testudinaria, 

 attaining sometimes a very large size, larger than any other spe- 

 cies except P. pyramidata. 



Patella sagittata. Testa tenuis, translucida, ovato-rotundata, 

 depressa, fusco-viridis, nigro obscure radiata, subtilissime granu-

In shape like P. argentea, with the interior of P. tramoserica.
