 deep-water variety named by me, in the Blake Report, sybariticum, and per-

This species is easily recognized by its heavy shell, often with a marked 

 furrow, internally, from the centre of the umbonal cavity towards the base 

 midway between the adductor scars. It is also more compressed than any of 

 the other species. 



Cardium (Laevicardium) Mortoni Conrad.

The material in hand considerably extends the range, both in time and

Other fossil American species are C. (L.) bulla Gabb (described as a Ser- 

 ripes), 1873, from the Tertiary of Santo Domingo; C. (L.) substriatum 

 Conrad, 1838, from the Pleistocene of San Pedro, California; the great C. 

 (L.) datum Sowerby, 1833, from the Pleistocene of San Diego, California; 

 and C. (L.) Milleri Gabb, 1881, described from an internal cast of a Miocene 

 fossil from Costa Rica which may prove to belong to the genus Protocardia.
