CATALOGUE 



OF THE 



FAMILY TELLINIDJE 



By GEORGE W. TRYON, Jr. 



The material for the following Catalogue has been drawn principally from 

 the two illustrated monographs published in London, viz. : that in Sowerbj's 

 Thesaurus Conchyliorum, Vol. 1, compiled by Mr. Sylvanus Hanley and Mr. 

 Sowerby's Monograph, contained in Conchologia Iconica. In many cases^ and 

 especially in the new species of Tellina published in the Iconica, the omission 

 of the character of the hinge in the description makes the subgeneric position 

 of the species mere guess-work.
