InGde rofy, white round the margin : teeth two, with 

 Ilrong laminated ones in each valve placed remote, one 

 on each fide. Length one inch, breadth five-eighths of 

 an inch. 



The fhell above defcribed, which appears to be the T. 

 Jlriata in a depauperated (late, we were favoured with bv 

 Mr. Bryer, who found it on the beach between Wey- 

 mouth and Portland, 



Chemnitz has given a good figure of nearly the fize 

 of ours, and has with doubt called it the Tellina balauf- 

 tina of Linn ^ us, but it is certainly not that fliell. 



We believe this fpecies has never before been noticed 

 as BritiJJi ; but poffibly from fimilitude to the T. tenuis 

 it may have been confounded; it is however at once dif- 

 criminated by the fine regular tranfverfe ftriae, and Itron^r 

 lateral teeth on each fide. Whereas the tenuis has no la- 

 teral tooth in one valve, and only one in the other, and 

 that not very remote.
