TELLINA IN^QUISTRIATA. 



UNESIU ALLY-STRIATED TELLEN. 

 GENERIC CHARACTER. 



I'he hinge usually furnished with three teeth. Shell generally sloping 



on one side.

Shell ovate, compressed and rather flatfish, rosy, very finely striated

Tei-lina in^quistriata : testa ovata compresso-planiuscula rosea 

 subtilissime transversim striata : striis anterlus 

 paucioribus majoribusque. 



A very rare species of Tellina communicated to Da Costa after his 

 Conchology was published, and therefore not noticed in that work. 

 It has been found by the late Dr. Pulteney we believe on the coast 

 of Dorsetshire.
