Fam. Tellinide. 
TELLINA GILCHRISTI, n. sp. (Plate VII., fig. 3). Shell trans- 
versely oblong, thin, compressed, nearly equilateral, pale 
straw-colour, rayed with light pink, with a few narrow con- 
centric bands of red, concentrically very closely and somewhat 
irregularly grooved, without radiating sculpture: dorsal 
margin almost straightly sloping on each side; posterior 
lateral margin very short, biangular; ante jor rounded : 
ventral margin slightly convex. Umbones small, nearly 
central, somewhat posteriorly inclined. Ligament rather 
large. Interior rayed with pale pink; hinge line narrow ; 
right valve with two unequal cardinal teeth, anterior lateral 
tooth short and somewhat elevated, posterior obtusely angled 
and distant from the umbo; left valve the same, but with 
three cardinal teeth. 
Measurement :—Anterior to posterior, 24; umbones_ to 
ventral margin, 15; thickness, 6 millim. 
Hab. :—Off Cape Point Lighthouse, N.W. by W., 11? miles ; 
45 fathoms. Bottom, rough. 
W. by N.4N., 103 miles; 42 fathoms. N.W. by W. 4 W.. 
73 miles ; 45 fathoms. S.W. + $., 24 miles; 30 fathoms. 
.W.4 W ., 4 miles; 50 fathoms. 
The shell somewhat resembles a very small 7. virgata, with 
which species, however, it will not bear any close comparison. 
The specimens, which are numerous, vary but little in size, 
and are apparently adult.

TELLINA ANALOGICA, n. sp. (Plate VII., fig. 4). Shell trans- 
versely oblong, inequilateral, compressed, very thin and 
fragile, dull white, with pellucid concentric bands, very closely 
and irregularly concentrically grooved and ridged, obtusely 
biangular on the posterior side. Posterior dorsal margin 
sloping, slightly concave ; anterior longer, less sloping, slightly 
convex; ventral margin slightly arcuate; cardinal area 
scarcely impressed, plicated. Ligament rather short. Um- 
bones small, elevated, situated nearer the posterior than the 
anterior end of the shell. Interior smooth, white, with hinge 
‘same as in 7. Gilchristi.
