 elongate oval or ovoid; valves un- 

 equally convex, no mesial fold or 

 sinus ; ventral valve with beak extended 

 or incurved, perforate ; foramen termi- 

 nal ; punctate smooth or with concen-

 into the ventral valve, between which 

 and the apex they are united by a 

 transverse band. Type C. rectirostra.

CYRTIA, Dalman, 1827, Kongl. Vet, Acad. 

 Handl., p. 93. [Ety. kyrtia, a fishing 

 basket.] Shell somewhat trigonal, valves 

 convex, hinge-line nearly as long as the 

 width of the shell, articulating by teeth 

 and sockets ; ventral valve deep, more 

 or less pyramidal, beak straight or 

 slightly recurved, area wide and triangu- 

 lar, fissure covered by a convex pseu- 

 dodeltidium, generally perforated close 

 to the beak by a circular foramen, a 

 longitudinal depression in the deltid- 

 ium sometimes shows, at the ex- 

 tremity a circular aperture lor the 

 passage of pedicle muscular "fibers ; 

 dorsal valve less convex ; a mesial lon- 

 gitudinal septum, in the ventral valve, 

 extends from ihe fissure to near the 

 margin, to the sides of which the 

 dental plates converge, and are united 

 after having formed the fissure walls.

 CYRTINA, Davidson, 1858, Monog. Brit. 

 Carb. Brach., p. 66. [Ety. the diminu- 

 tive of Cyrtia is Cyrtidium, but the au- 

 thor said he preferred bad Greek to a 

 long name.] Spirifera-like shells ; valves 

 very unequal, ventral being extremely 

 elevated, with high area and narrow- 

 fissure, closed by a pseudodeltidium ; 

 dental plates converge from the inner 

 margins of the fissure, and, uniting, 

 form a septum to the bottom of the 

 internal cavity, thus dividing it into 

 two parts; shell punctate. Type C. 

 heteroclyta.
