T. with a thin, brittle, flat, fub-pellucid, fub-oval, 

 glofly fhell, with a few fine concentric flrix ; uvibo fmall, 

 placed nearly central ; the cartilage end fomewhat point- 

 ed : colour various; white, yellow, carnation, of alHhades, 

 more or lefs zoned with a lighter colour. Length hali 

 an inch, breadth three-quarters. 



This fpecies is plentiful on mofl of our fandy fhores. 

 It has been confidered by Doftor Pulteney, as well as 

 Doftor Solan DER to bediflinft from the planata of Lin - 

 N^us, and which accords with our opinion. Da Costa 

 had followed Mr. Pennant in quoting that fhell. 



The fynonyms of Gmelin's planata, certainly do not 

 accord with our fliell ; and yet it appears fomewhat extra- 

 ordinary that lb common a fpecies as this on our fliores, 

 fhould not have been known to thofe great naturalifts.
