278 BULLETIN OF THE 
Tellina Gouldii Han ey. 
Tellina Gouldii Hanley, Dall, Bull. M. C. Z., IX. p. 184, 1881. 
Habitat. Yucatan Strait, 640 fms. 
This is not Angulus Gouldii Carpenter, of the west coast of America, which 
has the aspect of a small Macoma. Whether it is the true T. Gouldii of Hanley 
I have no means of deciding, but it resembles the figure of that species. I 
have it also from South Florida, collected by Hemphill. 
Famity SEMELIDA. 
Genus ABRA Risso. 
Abra Risso, Hist. Nat. Eur. Mer., Moll. p. 870, 1826. 
Syndosmya Récluz, 1843. 
Abra (Leach Mss.) Gray, 1852. 
In using Syndosmya of Récluz for the following species I followed Deshayes, 
who adduces some weighty reasons for not adopting the name Abra (Leach 
Mss.) quoted under the synonymy of certain species in 1818 by Lamarck, and 
not published by or for Leach until 1852. But it seems that Risso used the 
name in 1826, and, without having time thoroughly to investigate the question, 
T have concluded to follow Adams and Verrill in the present case.
