THE RED PECTf:n. 



upper one is richly banded with concentric rings of 

 red and pink. The choice specimen from which this 



Fig. 14 



drawing- was made, kindly sent from Oregon by Mr. 

 Dore, is two and a half inches in diameter. Pecten 

 hericeus^ Gld., is a synonymous name. 



Anmsiuju caiirimim^ Gld., x\-mu'-si-um cau-ri'-

As the translation of this odd name indicates, this 

 very large and broad shell comes from the vicinity of 

 Puget Sound. It is a huge, flat Pecten, having 

 unequal, circular valves, marked by twenty ribs. 

 Edges thin, ears rather small, color white within, 

 yellowish brown without. Diameter about six inches. 

 Lima orieiitalis^ Ad., Li^-ma o-ri-en-ta'-lis. 

 Fig. 142. Shell white, delicate, oblique, the 

 valves gaping on one side. Sculpturing fine 

 and straight, like the teeth of a file. It is 

 sometimes thrown up b}- storms, and is found 

 Fig. 142. attached to sea-weed.
