352 COOKE : ON THE MACANDREW COLLECTION. 



The extreme commonness of this species, no doubt 

 has prevented the collector obtaining better series. 

 Tellina tenuis DaCosta. Liverpool, &c. 

 T. fabula Gron. Liverpool, &c. 

 T. fabula Gron. var. ovata. Zetland. 



T. incarnata L. Isle of Man. 



Jeffreys shows good reason for believing that T. 

 incarnata of L. is our T. temds of DaCosta, and he 

 adopts Solander's name of squalida, which as a descrip- 

 tive epithet, is hardly applicable. The shell is very 

 common at Guernsey and Herm, a locality which 

 Jeffreys does not give. MacAndrew's is not a first-rate 

 series. 



T. donacina L. Anglesea, &c. 



T. pygmaea Phil. Orkney. 



[Tellhia proxima Brown. One perfect specimen, 

 two single valves (each retaining much of the epidermis) 

 and a fragment); locality — Loch Fyne. Jeffreys rele- 

 gates this to the category of extinct species, so far as our 

 coasts are concerned, and I suppose we must follow him, 

 though it occurs in a recent state on the shores of 

 Denmark and Norway.] 



Psammobia tellinella Lam. Isle of Man, &c. 

 A fine series of 25 specimens. 



P. costulata Turt. Cornwall, Shetland, &c. 



P. Ferroensis Chemn. Bantry and Anglesea. 



P. vespertina Chemn. Cardigan Bay. 



P. vespertina Chemn. Bantry. 



Donax anatinus Lam. Stornaway. 



These would seem rather to belong to the var. 

 tiirgida of Jeffreys.
