LAMELLARIA. 61 



L. PELLUCIDA, Vcrrill. PI. 26, fig. 100. 



Shell ovate, with oblique spire, delicate, transparent, smooth ; 

 aperture broad, ovate, not showing the interior of the spire 

 except from an endwise view. Length, 12-16 mill. 



Martha's Vineyard, Mass.; off Delaware Bay, 86-208 fms. 



Animal yellowish brown, mottled with darker, broad elliptical, 

 swollen, without tubercles on the back. 



V:ir. GOULDII, Verrill. 



Shell a little shorter, broader, with the spire lower, the apex 

 less elevated, and suture less impressed ; last whorl more ventri- 

 cose, and the outer lip and aperture more broadly rounded. 

 Mantle shorter, broader and higher, with more or less numerous 

 low verrucse on the dorsal surface ; pale yellow or yellowish 

 white, more or less blotched or speckled with brown, flake-white 

 and 3'ellow. Prof. Verrill thinks that part of the differences in 

 the soft parts arise from contraction in alcohol ; some specimens 

 are intermediate.

 spirally striate, base with a small but distinct umbilicus.

This young shell is scarcely a Lamellaria ; at least, I know of 

 no other species having an umbilicus.
