KELLIA pumila. 



TAB. DCXXX\U.—Jig. 3. 



Spec, Char. Transverse, ovate, oblique, tumid, 

 glossy, anterior side much the larger and 

 rather longer than the other. One central 

 and two lateral teeth in the right, and only 

 obscure lateral teeth in the left valve. 



Syn. Montacuta pumila, S. V. Wood, loc. cit. v. 6. 

 247. 



1 HIS Strongly resembles Kellia rubra, Turton, [Car- 

 dhnn rubrum, Montague, Amphidesma micleola, Lamarck ? 

 Borriia seminulum, Philippi ?) but appears to differ in se- 

 veral characters ; it is more inequilateral and oblique, its 

 lateral teeth are also smaller, especially the anterior one, 

 and more removed from the centre. The Bornia seminu- 

 lum, to which Phili})pi refers Cardium rub?nm, has a larger 

 number of teeth, and is less oblique also than our shell. 

 The muscular impressions are large and ovate ; the pit for 

 the ligament is linear, small, and slopes inwards towards the 

 posterior side. 



Abundant in the lower crag of Sutton, with the two 

 valves frequently united.
