7-1 LEPAS. 



projecting angle, and reaching below nearly to UK 

 mencement of the stalk, which is as long as the hody : co- 

 lor pale blue, with three broad dark -blue stripes each side 

 reaching all the way down : length of the body nearly an 

 inch -, breadth about half as much. 



Fariety. Of a dark horn-color, without stripes, not gra- 

 dually sloping into the stalk, but terminating abruptly arid 

 somewhat angularly at the bottom : it is about half the 

 size. When dry, these fleshy species become Hat, wrinkled, 

 horny, and transparent. 



On the bottom of a transport stranded on the Devon 

 coast. A cluster of the variety was dredged up at Ex- 

 raouth, and is in the cabinet of Mrs. W. C. Loscombe. v. m.

Shell flat, thin, light brown, rather rough and wrinkled 

 in some parts but without distinct striae, and covered with 

 short hairs, obliquely truncate at top : valves thirteen ; the 

 three next the stalk on each side small ; the next two pair 

 longer 5 the uppermost pair largest, placed a little ob- 

 liquely, with the points slightly recurved ; the back valve 

 with transverse rows of short hairs, longer than the rest, 

 fiat, diverging into a sharp beak half way up, and thence 

 turning back^to cover the edge of the two upper valves : 

 stalk rather large, light brown, annulate and hairy : length 

 five eighths of an inch ; breadth three eighths.

Lister, pi. 439. f. 281 Montagu, pi. 28. f. 5- Wood, 

 pi. 10. f. 2. 



Shell smooth, glossy, with numerous valves ; those at 

 the base very small, mostly of a triangular form, to the 

 amount of twenty or more ; the primary ones are five, the 

 larger pair of which are rather concave, conic at the upper 

 part, with an obtuse and quite straight summit ; the front 

 pair oval, very convex and rounded ; the back valve rather 

 oval, thick, convex, and rounded : stalk about double the 

 length of the shell, rather compressed, ctothed with a vast 



number.
