The fhell figured by this author, is a very good repre- 

 fentation of that ponderous Cardium, we made mention 

 of under the article of Cardium echinatum. It probably 

 is the Gmelinian tuberculatuin, and poflibly a didinft 

 fpecies. 



We have noticed this ftrong and tliick (hell, deflitute 

 of fpines, on the fliore of DaxcUJJi warren at the mouth 

 of the Ex in DcvonJJiire, where at times it is plen- 

 tiful ; and have remarked, that on other parts of the 

 fame coafl: where we have taken the echinatum, and acu- 

 leatum, not one of thefe ftrong (hells were to be found ; 

 acircumdance that favours an opinion of iis being dillinft. 



It probably inhabits the deep, as we have never yet 



obtained it alive.
