LINGULA.—Ptate I. 
differences are obvious and constant. The late Captain 
Phillip King, who was an excellent conchologist (witness 
his paper on the collections of his exploring voyage in the 
‘Zoological Journal’), was struck by the peculiarities of 
this Zingula, and sent specimens home to Mr. Cuming 
with the above name. More have been collected by Mr. 
Strange in nearly the same locality, and all are distin- 
guished from Z. anatina, collected abundantly by Mr. 
Cuming in the Bay of Manila, by a more square outline, 
and by a peculiar coppery-red tone of colour. 
Species 4. (Mus. Cuming.) 
LinGuta auprpa. Ling. testd elongato-ovali, levi, sub- 
planatd, ubique albida, nitente ; valvis undique clausis. 
THE wurtisH Lineuta. Shell elongately oval, smooth, 
rather flat, everywhere whitish, shining; valves 
closed throughout. 
Hips, Moll. Voy. Sulphur, p. 71. pl. 19. f. 4. 
Hab, Bay of Magdalena, California (in sandy mud, at the 
depth of seven fathoms); Hinds. 
A rather solid shell, well defined in growth, rather flat, 
of a narrow-oval form, without any indication of the green 
colour which predominates in this genus. It is of a live 
creamy-white. The pedicle is short, but I have not much 
faith in the length of the pedicle as a specific character. 
It doubtless varies according to circumstances of habita- 
tion. 
Species 5. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Lineuta AuprBarti. Ling. testa oblongé, glabra, cor- 
ned, pallide flavd, viridi transversim picta, limbo an- 
teriore rotundato, viridi. 
AupEBART’s Linauta. Shell oblong, smooth, horny, 
pale-yellow, transversely painted with green, anterior 
end rounded, green, 
Bropzrip, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1833, p. 125. 
Hab. Island of Puna, Bay of Guayaquil (found at about 
half-tide, in a bottom of hard, coarse sand, from four 
to six inches below its surface); Cuming. 
Mr. Broderip remarks, in describing this species, that 
“The rounded anterior edge is green, and the transverse 
lines of that colour are produced by the progressive in- 
crease of the shell, which is smooth and parchment-like. 
In all the dried specimens the thin anterior edge is con- 
tracted into a square form, so as to produce a resemblance 
to a very square-toed shoe, but in its natural state this 
edge is rounded.” 
The word printed by Mr. Broderip Audebardii was cor- 
rected by M. Deshayes in his edition of Lamarck to Aude- 
barti ; the species being named in honour of M. J. d’Aude- 
bart de Férussae.
