Lamarck published this species as-fiT. bidentalis before the descrip- 

 tion ofmalleata was published. But since the species is universally 

 known by the latter name it is scarcely advisable to change. 



A well known and easily recognized species, quite variable in the 

 development of the peristorne and in size; extreme specimens mca>- 

 ure: Diam. 24, alt. 16 mill., and forma minima, diam. 12 mill.
