LAMELUBRANCHIATA. 



The largest specimen measures 35"" 1 '. Among a number of specimens collected at an earlier 

 date, the locality not stated more precise than "the Faeroes", the largest measures [o . Tin. greatest 

 depth at which an adult specimen has been taken is 60 fm. '). 



Distribution. Apart from South-West and South Iceland and the Faeroes, Anomia patrlli/ormis 



occurs along the Norwegian coast from Lofoten southwards (o -40 fin.), and rarely in the northern 

 and eastern Kattegat (10— 251m.). It is found on all the British coasts (10— 86 fm.), north and west 

 coast of France, at Spain and Portugal, in the Mediterranean and Adriatic.

The greatest depth at which any living specimen was taken was 975 fm., but they may have 

 been attached to two large pieces of timber brought up in the trawl; otherwise the greatest depth 

 was 691 fm.; the other depths lie between 44 and 316 fm. 



') The specimen from 90 fm. is very small, 5""". long.
