 extremity subangular, narrowly rounded ; greatest projection below the middle ; 

 posterior end obtusely rounded, dorsal margin evenly but not very boldly arcuate, 

 sloping gradually towards the front and more convex behind ; ventral margin slightly 

 sinuate in front of the middle. Seen from above, the outline is narrowly ovate, the 

 greatest width, which is near the centre, is equal to about one-third of the length ; the 

 sides are flatly arcuate, and both extremities subacuminate ; valves smooth, polished, 

 with a few scattered opaque white points. Length about '65 mm.
