The specimens have a length of up to 50 mm. Most of the older 

 individuals belong to the typical West Greenland form, with the posterior 

 truncata portion of the shell distinctly short (Gf. JENSEN: Studier over 

 nordiske Mollusker. 1. My a fig. 86). Only a few shells are similar to 

 the variety uddevallensis, HANCOCK. They have, however, not so thick 

 valves as at any rate the fossil shells of this variety, nor is their trun- 

 cate end so short. In younger individuals the shell is ovate, and this 

 is especially the case when they are quite young.

Common. However the species is not found anywhere in any large 

 quantity. The specimens belong partly to the form arctica LINNE and 

 partly to the more elongated smooth form pholadis LINNE s. rugosa 

 LINNE. Most of the specimens of both forms arctica and pholadis have 

 very thick valves and closely resemble in this respect the valves of this 

 species that are found in our late-glacial deposits. In the same locality
