138 MOLLUSCA FROM THE GREAT OOLITE. 



Locality. Myacites decurtatus occurs in the Cornbrash both of Yorkshire and of 

 Wiltshire ; we have also been favoured by Mr. Bean, with a specimen from the Great 

 Oolite near Scarborough. 



MYACITES SCARBURGENSIS, Phil. Sp. Tab. XV, fig. 13. 



Syn. LUTEAKIA GIBBOSA, Phil. Geol. York., 1, t. 9, f. 6. 



Testa ovato-elongatd, compressiusculd, umbonibus antemedianis parvis, margins antico 

 rotunda, producto, postico elongato, hiante; lasi elliptico curvato, margins supcriori sub- 

 horizontali, concavo; lateribus compressis, plicis irregularibus magnis longitudinalibus. 



Shell ovately elongated, compressed ; urnbones anterior to the middle of the valves, 

 small and not much elevated ; anterior side produced, its margin rounded ; posterior side 

 lengthened, and gaping with a moderately large aperture ; base curved elliptically ; the 

 sides of the valves are compressed, and have large irregular longitudinal plications ; the 

 ligamental area is large and excavated, the posterior aperture extending upon the horizontal 

 superior border nearly to the ligament. 



A species somewhat resembling Myopsis Jurassi, Ag., but less tumid, or more com- 

 pressed in its middle part. 



Height, 17 lines ; length, 31 lines; diameter through both the valves, 12 lines. The 

 specimen figured is the original one drawn by Professor Phillips.

Shell ovately oblong, veritricose ; umbones rounded, large, elevated, and placed anterior 

 to the middle of the valves ; anterior side short, convex ; its margin rounded, gaping with 

 a small aperture; posterior side compressed, its extremity with a narrow lengthened 

 aperture ; base elliptically curved ; superior margin rather concave ; ligamental area large, 

 elliptical, depressed ; sides of the valves with fine irregular longitudinal striations.
