TELLINA Brantleri. 

 TAB. CCCCll^Jig. 1. 

 Spec. Char. Obovate, depressed, smooth, with 

 a small sinus on the anterior margin ; beak 

 rather prominent. 

 Syn. Tellina bimaculata, IJrandet\J\ 102. 



jVot quite equilateral, the posterior side is longest, 

 ami also most r«£>-alarly rounded ; the marginal fold 

 forms a slig'ht sinus ; it dilTers from the recent T. bima- 

 culata in the form of the anterior side, \vhicU is rounded, 

 not truncated, and in several particulars observable on 

 comparison. 



As I have only met niUi a single valve of this she!!, 

 1 suppose it is rare. The Rev. G. Cooke, kindly sent it 

 fFora Barton. 



TELLINA filosa. 

 TAB. CCCCil.-^yz^. 2. 



$PEC. Chaii. Obovate, depressed, transversely 

 striated ; anterior side angidar ; posterior 

 roinided ; stria^ elevated, acute, numerous, 

 enlarged anteriorly. 



,A. sLENDEir Tellen covered with concentric striae re- 

 semblins^ very fine threads ; the marginal fold fornYs a 

 slig;ht elevation that ascends to the beak, and as the 

 striae pass over this elevation, they are thickened, curved, 

 and compressed ; there is a slight truncation of the edge 

 near the fold, out no sinus. This appears to be a 

 species between T. patellaris, and scalaroides ofLamarck. 

 Found in the sandy Clay at, Biuton, by the Rev. T. 

 Cooke, by no meaas eommon.
