 gen. [Ety. techne, art; 

 phoros, bearing.] Shell small, equi- 

 valve, inequilateral ; anterior end short, 

 broadly rounded ; two or more fur- 

 rows arising near the beak extend to 

 the postero-basal margin ; beak small, 

 upright; surface concentrically lined; 

 umboual rib in front of the beak repre- 

 sented in the cast by a transverse sul- 

 cus ; no external ligament, escutcheon, 

 or lunule. Type T. faberi.

 Right valve. 



Technophoeus, 



faberi, n. sp. Shell small, equivalve, in- 

 equilateral, a little longer than high ; an- 

 terior end short, broadly rounded; base 

 more narrowly rounded in the anterior 

 and central part ; the postero-basal 

 part slightly produced ; cardinal line 

 straight or nearly so ; beak extremely 

 small and standing upright, like a little 

 point projecting beyond the cardinal 

 line; valves convex in the umbonal re- 

 gion ; two furrows or cinctures arising 

 near the beak in the umbonal region, 

 which gradually widen, are directed to 

 the postero-basal margin, and above 

 these the postero-dorsal part of the shell 

 is somewhat wing-like ; 

 surface marked by very 

 fine concentric lines ; 

 the casts show a deep 

 sulcus directly in front 

 of the beak for the re- 

 ception of an umbonal 

 rib, or support on the 

 interior of the shell.

 broken from the posterior end ; the left hand
