ISOCARDIA. 477 



The chief locality of this fine shell in the British seas is 

 off the Dublin coast, where specimens are sometimes 

 obtained in considerable abundance. It is also procured in 

 deep water off the Cornish coast ; and is brought in 

 by fishermen at Falmouth (Cocks, Alder). Bantry Bay 

 (Turton) ; and the Cove of Cork (Brown), are among its 

 Irish southern habitats. It occurs in the Hebrides, living, as 

 near Oban, in mud at a depth of fifteen fathoms, and dead 

 in forty fathoms off Skye (M'Andrew and E. F.). Laskey 

 recorded it from Icolmkill, and also from near St. Abb's 

 Head. Abroad it ranges to the Mediterranean.
