temperatures 38°.5 and 40°.2 and station 4630, off Mariato Point, Panama Bay 
in 556 fathoms, sand, temperature 38°. 
The most striking thing about this species, apart from its oblique form, is 
externally, the dark zone in the periostracum near the margin and the clearly 
distinguished lines of the hairs; internally the very great discrepancy between 
the two adductor scars.

The most conspicuous features of this species are its thin shell, very large size, 
short pelage, and pale color of the hairs. In general appearance it is not unlike 
L. bassi Smith, from New Zealand, which is smaller, more inflated, and thicker.
