VENUS ovalis. 
TAB. DLXVII.—figs. 1. & 2. 
Spec. Cuar. Transversely oval, and finely striated, 
convex, thin; beaks not very prominent ; lu- 
nette obscure, convex, smooth, elongated. 
Lenern little more than two-thirds the width ; the re- 
gular oval form and fine concentric strie distinguish 
this from every other Venus. 
From Blackdown, collected by H. H. Goodhall, Esq. 
Fig. 2. is probably a variety: it is so worn that it may 
have lost the striz ; it differs slightly in the position of 
the beak, which is further removed from the centre ; it 
was found near Faversham in Kent. 
Both specimens are siliceous. 
VENUS Faba. 
TAB. DLXVII.—fg. 3. 
Spec.Cuar. Transversely obovate, elongated, finely 
striated, convex, flattened in the middle ; sides 
unequal ; beaks very short. 
Mocu resembling the last, but it is less convex towards 
the beaks and less pointed at the sides; the length is 
three-fourths of the width. 
A siliceous fossil from Blackdown. Casts also cecur 
at Parham Park and Shanklin Chine.
