 attached ; c, the same, dorsal aspect. — Museum of the Geological

Fig. 4. Leperditia Arctica : a, cast of the interior of a left valve ; b, the 

 same, ventral aspect ; c, the same, anterior aspect ; the dotted 

 line indicates the outline of the opposite valve in section; d, en- 

 larged view of the cast of the central tubercle ; e, fragment of 

 the same left valve, sliowing the inner aspect of the " central 

 tubercle," or "lucid spot," and the vascular markings, together 

 with a portion of the inverted edge of the same valve ; the lower 

 fragment is a portion of the overlapping edge of the right valve.
