104 INVERTEBRATA. 



The principa] muscular impression is of moderate size, situated 

 near the anterior side of the shell at about the middle of its length. 



This species is distinguished from 0. Germanii (Coquand), 

 and 0. Leymerii by the inequality and dissimilarity of its valves 

 and by its ligament area. 0. Leymerii usually has radiating ribs 

 on its lower valve. 



One specimen in the Woodwardian Museum which I refer to 

 this species is indistinguishable from 0. deltoidea (Sow.), and is 

 also very similar to some specimens of 0. Germanii (Coquand), see 

 Pictet and Campiche, St Croix, pi. 189, f. 2.
