small, incurved, foramen middling, deltidium very 
narrow, concentrically wrinkled ; valves nearly equal, 
prominent in the middle; loop elongated, recurved.

All the specimens that I have seen of this very prettily 
painted Waldheimia agree precisely with Chemnitz’s ori- 
ginal figure in the Conchylien Cabinet. 
.be little or no variation in the species. Dr. Gray quotes 
Mr. Sowerby’s 7. rubella as a variety of TZ. picta, but 1 
have fully verified Mr. Davidson’s observation, that 7. 7w- 
bella has the apophysary system of Zerebratedla.

TERBBRATULA (WALDHEIMIA) SEPTIGHRA. tr. testd 
subquadrato-ovatd, medio versus marginem anticam 
depressd, pellucido-albd, corned, levigatd, rostro sub- 
attenuate producto, foramine mediocri, integro, deltidio 
mtegro, lonyitudinaliter rugato; valvis dense minute 
concentricé striatis ad marginem anticam sinuatis , 
apophyse elongata, recurvd, septo valve dorsalis pro- 
minente. 
THE SHELVED WaLDHEIMIA. Shell somewhat squarely 
ovate, depressed in the middle towards the anterior 
margin, transparent-white, horny, smooth, beak ra- 
ther attenuately produced, foramen moderate, en- 
tire, deltidium entire, longitudinally wrinkled ; valves 
densely minutely concentrically striated, sinuated at 
the anterior margin; loop elongated, recurved, sep- 
tum of the dorsal valve prominent.

Hab. Norway; Finmark. 
This species is undoubtedly very closely allied to 7. cra- 
nium. The internal septum, which is characteristic of the 
dorsal valve of the Waldheimia section, is more prominent, 
but the most striking features of the shell are its produced 
beak, entire foramen, and distinct corrugated deltidium.

‘THE GRAPE TEREBRATULA. Shell oblong-ovate, poste- 
riorly compressed on each side, transparent-white, 
horny, smooth, beak tumidly produced, incurved, 
foramen very large, scarcely entire, deltidium small 
or obsolete; valves unequal, the ventral much the 
larger, both gibbous in the middle; loop short.

Hab. Bay of Tehuantepec, Guatemala (dredged from a 
depth of from ten to twelve fathoms, sandy mud, 
attached to a dead sea-worn bivalve) ; Captain Dare. 
This curiously compressed species, dredged in the Cen- 
tral American waters of the Pacific, is the only Zerebratula 
proper, besides the typical 7. cé¢rea of the Mediterranean. 
There is a second specimen of it in the collection of Mrs. 
De Burgh.
