depressa. . oblong ; transversely dilated, contracted and obtuse 

 upwards ; with smooth concentric striae ; beak produced, 

 not incurved ; foramen large. . St. Saturin. 



ovalis. . transversely and superiorly dilated ; with concentric, 

 smooth striae ; beak incurved. 



numismalis. . depressed, subrotund, smooth ; a sinus in the

 short ; foramen very small. 

 This shell, though round, shows five angles. 



umbonella. . elongated, turgid, transversely compressed ; above

triangulus. . elongated, triangular, smooth ; the lower valve re- 

 flected on the upper, with a groove on the margin. 



cor. . cordiform, subglobose, a deep sinus in the upper part ;

hirostris. . subglobose, smooth ; contracted upwards, sinuated 

 in the middle ; sinus with two angles, margin not plicated. 



ampulla. . subrotund, inflated, antiquated ; upper margin ob- 

 scurely biplicated. . Italy. 



carinata. . subquadrangular, smooth; lower valve rather flattish ; 

 upper valve diedral, the two surfaces divided by a longitu- 

 dinal keel, formed by their union at an obtuse angle. 



concava. . small, lower valve flat ; upper one larger and concave, 

 with concentric striae. . Meudon. 



semiglobosa. . elongate, ovate, tumid, very smooth ; umbo raised, 

 margin entirely without plicae. . Warminster. 



punctata. . oblong, subdepressed, upward biplicated, with con-

ovata. , ovato-oblong, subcompressed, smooth ; with distant 

 concentric striae ; beak produced, . Heytesbury. 



hiplicata. , subrotund, subglobose, smooth, biplicated upwards ; 

 concentric striae ; beak incurved ; plane of the foramen

 wards biplicated ; beak produced, not incurved ; plane of 

 the foramen inclined upon that of the valves. . Grignon.
