Or the oval end the shorter diameter is two-thirds the 
length of the longer; the undulations are very regular, 
bending towards the curve. 
The lightest coloured of these specimens is marle, the 
other Iron-stone; the septa are obliterated in both.

re a ee 
As the curved part of a shell of this nature, cannot be 
increased by age, I conceive this to be a very large species. 
Except the size, I do not know any very strong character 
by which to distinguish it. 
This specimen is exceedingly handsome; the beautiful 
pearly shell covers a mixture of Pyrites and -indurated 
marle, which serve to relieve it. Mr. Gibbs brought it 
with those of the last plate from near Folkstone.
