This shell was dredged up from 80 fathoms water in the offing of 
Cumberland Bay, at Juan Fernandez; it was attached to a branch of 
coral. 
The hinge is broad and smooth, with distinct markings ; the gape is 
rather wide, and the anterior part of the shell rises rather elegantly, like 
the stern of some Indian canoes, and in all the specimens but one, 
terminates ina point. The one above described has a rounded form ; 
the bows or front being rather elegantly and finely lamellated in a wavy 
form ; the colour of the hinge is red, and the inside is generally of a 
brownish purple; in some it has a more yellow tinge.
