LIMA PUNCTATILLA, Lye. Tab. XL, fig. 32. 



LIMA PUNCTATILLA, Lye. Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1853, p. 420. 



Testa parva, injlata, ovato-oblonga, auriculls parvis subcequalibus, lateribus leviter 

 excavatis ; cos f is radian tidus (circa 24) elevatis, granulatis, inters f Us angustis, striis con- 

 cent rich crebris decussatls. 



Shell small, inflated, ovately oblong ; auricles small and nearly equal, the sides of the 

 valves steep and slightly excavated ; radiating (costse about 24), elevated, granulated ; large 

 upon the centre of the valves, and degenerating upon the sides into lines, decussated by 

 closely arranged concentric striations. 



The general figure resembles Lima gibbosa, but more convex, and with radiating lines 

 or delicate costse upon the sides, which increase in size symmetrically towards the middle 

 of the valve, each rib being ornamented with a minute line of granules. The specimen 

 figured is of less dimensions than others, but it has only occurred very rarely. 



Geological Position and Locality. The Great Oolite of Minchinhampton ; the Inferior 

 Oolite of Leckhampton Hill, in the shelly freestone.

Lima testa fornicata ovata subobliqua antice declivi, costis (25 27) subacutis adpressis 

 et linea laterali notatis, sulcis conformibus, lunala Icevi convexa. (Goldfuss.) 



Shell ovately oblong, convex, slightly oblique ; anterior slope lengthened, steep ; pos- 

 terior slope more gradual and flattened ; umbones acute, straight ; anterior and posterior 

 auricles equal and but little produced, forming a short horizontal hinge-line ; radiating 

 costse upon the middle portion of the valves narrow, sub-acute, 25 27 in number at the 

 lower border, 14 15 near to the umbo, the additional costse near to the lower border 

 consisting of smaller intervening costse or lines, unequal in size, and rather irregularly 

 arranged ; the larger costse towards the sides of the valves appear as if compressed upon 

 the shell. The anterior sides of the valves are nearly smooth, but each side has a few 

 very delicate radiating lines ; the entire surface of the valves has very delicate, closely 

 arranged, concentric, irregular striations, which impress the costse, and are very con- 

 spicuous upon the wide, flattened intercostal spaces; the valves are close fitting and thin.
