Rather rare in the material. As a fossil this species has 
been obtained at Cocklemill Burn, near Largo, in the Post- 
Tertiary clays of the Clyde beds, and at various other places 
in Scotland. In England it appears to be of frequent 
occurrence in the Newer Tertiaries as well as in the 
Coralline Crag. It has also been observed in Ireland in 
the marine accumulations at Portrush, County Antrim; 
Belfast, etc. 
As a living species Anomia ephippium is widely dis- 
tributed in the European seas from Iceland to the A‘gean 
Archipelago.
