This very common sj^ecies, identified by Dr. Dall, varies greatly, 

 not only in form, but also in the strength and character of the hinge- 

 teeth.

One worn valve which Dr. Dall thought might be a worn iris Say, 

 when compared with specimens of that species from Cape Hatteras, 

 was found to be much larger, of quite different shape, with more 

 numerous, oblique lines. Although Dr. Dall considers Caribcea 

 but one of the forms of iris, it is such an extreme one, that it 

 seems desirable to retain the name, at least, as a variety.

Shells from Bermuda have a shorter and mone inflated form than 

 Say's figure represents, but they ai'e considered this species by Dr. 

 Dall. They look like worn examples of the following species. 



Found in the shell-sand.
