 riblets near the periphery; surface covered with concentric imbrications which

 numerous radiating riblets; ears rather large, with radiating threads and con- 

 centric imbrications.

The following is a description of this species : 



Shell equivalve, slightly oblique, moderately convex, with about 16 low, 

 broad, radiating medial ribs and several additional obsolete distal ribs; addi- 

 tional radial sculpture of raised threads, usually one on summit and one or 

 more on each side of every rib and one or two in the interspaces, increasing in 

 number by interpolation towards the periphery; concentric sculpture of low, 

 wavy lamellse, crossing ribs, threads, and interspaces; Camptonectes striation 

 present; posterior ears oblique, with faint radiating threads crossed by fine 

 lamellse; anterior ears the larger, with coarser threads; byssal notch about 

 one-half the length of the ear; ctenolium present; inner margin grooved in 

 accordance with the external ribbing, but grooves do not extend over^ the 

 medial portion of the disk.

 (Plate 10, Figures 8, 9 a, fc.) 



The following is a description of this species : 



Shell suborbicular, slightly oblique, moderately convex, with nearly equal 

 valves and 20 to 22 convex ribs with equal interspaces, each containing 1 

 riblet; near the periphery 1 riblet is developed on the summit of each rib; 

 submargins faintly ribbed; entire disk covered with minute, close, concentric, 

 raised lamellae, fused on the summits of the riblets into evenly spaced, raised, 

 transversely elongate nodes; anterior ears the larger; right anterior ear with 

 about 5 strong riblets, other ears with many fine riblets; posterior ears oblique; 

 byssal notch deep; internal surface channeled in harmony with the external 

 ribbing.
