Petricola pholadiformis Lam. in Suffolk.— On the Wednesday of last Whit- 

 week while picking up valves of Barnea Candida and Zirfcea crispata on Felix- 

 stowe beach, I noticed among them some broken shells and single valves of 

 Petricola pholadiformis. The next day a specimen turned up north of Lowestoft 

 harbour exhibiting the malformation pointed out by Mr. J. E. Cooper as 

 characterising some of the shells at Shellness {.Journal of Conchology, vol. ix. , p. 

 243), but otherwise perfect. Mr. A. S. Kennard, to whom I made known the dis- 

 covery, tells me that he has obtained two pairs of valves from a mass of peat washed 

 up by the sea at Dunwich. It is evident that now it extends all along the Suffolk 

 coast. — Arthur Mayfield {Read before the Society, September nth, igoy).
