16 JAMES A. GRIEG. [SEC. ARCT. EXP.FRAM 



JENSEN gives the maximal length of this species as 15.5 mm. The 

 specimens are almost exactly similar to what JENSEN describes and 

 depicts in the case of tellina loveni. 



Like the two previously mentioned species tellina loveni had not 

 been hitherto found in waters west and north of Baffin Bay. It had 

 only been definitely known to occur near Baffin Land, the west and 

 east coasts of Greenland and at Spitzbergen and in the Kara Sea (JENSEN).

Scarce. The largest specimens from Jones Sound measure: Long. 

 (:5 mm., Lat. 58 mm., Crass. 35 mm. POSSELT gives the size of this 

 species as 112 mm. On the east coast of Greenland (Mobius) and at 

 Novaya Zemlya (LECHE) it attains a size of 70 mm. At Spitzbergen it 

 can be 88 mm. long (KRAUSE) and at Bering Strait 100 mm. (KRAUSE). 

 In the larger specimens a faint radial striation was only observable on 

 the uppermost part of the shell, and even in the younger individuals 

 the striation is but sligtly developed. In the smallest specimens the 

 epidermis is yellowish-white with narrow reddish-brown zigzag bands. 

 With age the colour becomes darker and in the largest specimens it is 

 of a uniform dark greenish-brown.
