ribs, without intermediate smaller ones ; in the greater angularity 

 of the anterior cardinal margin ; in the wide gape on both sides; 

 and in the strong internal rib round the anterior opening : and 

 from L, bullata of Sowerby, in the obliquity of the hinge. 



We dredged up half a dozen living specimensj of various sizes, 

 in the British Channel. They had no byssus attached to them, 

 nor has the L. Loscombi, when taken alive.

Testa simstrorsd, ovatd, ventricosa, albo-cornea, pelludda ; an- 

 fractibus quatuor, tumidis^ exsertis : apertura ovatd. 



Shell sinistral, oval, ventricose, white horn-colour, transparent ; 

 volutions four, tumid and produced. 



Length four tenths of an inch; breadth about three tenths. 



This very distinct species is found in the river Towin, in North 

 Wales. In the tumidity of the volutions and the obliquity of the 

 sutures, as well as in its colour, it dilFers from any species yet

 with the volutions very little raised or swollen, and the aperture 

 is oblong. In fig. 2. tab. 4. of the 8th Vol. of the Linnean Trans- 

 actions, Ph. rivalis is erroneously represented as a dextral shell.

A very beautiful species, in size between the B. muntanus and
