Blunter, with the patulation of the base more posterior and less enrolled 

 than P. dodona, which, also, does not attain so large a size. I have not been 

 able to find any distinctive characters between the fossils and the recent shell 

 called P. carolinensis by Miss Bush. It should not be confounded with Pando- 

 rina arenosa Moller, which is a Lyonsia.

This is the precursor of the P. Gonldiana Dall of Massachusetts Bay, but 

 is a larger and coarser shell, with larger teeth on the hinge and more arct;ate 

 laterally. The development of the hinge in these Miocene Clidiophoras is less 

 clean-cut and distinct than in the recent type. The fossils are obviously less 

 different from Pandora s. s. than the recent shells are, and it is not always easy 

 to decide in which of the two subgenera a given species should be placed, as 

 the additional teeth are not distinct.
