The JNathorst-Expedition of 1899 took it in the following 

 localities, specimens of a length of up to 14 mm. ^): 



Scoresby-Sound, Fame-Isles.... 12 — 13 fms. Clay 2 specimens. 



72°43' N. 26°38' W ...,18'/2-32 — Mud 1 — 



Franz Joseph-Fjord 15 — 19 — Clay, stones and gravel 1 — 



SE. of Clavering-Island 13—21 — Mud and small stones 6 — 



T. Loveni has thus been found along East-Greenland in 

 the area from Turner-Sound (69° 44' N.) to southeast of Sabine- 

 Island (74° 25' N.) at depths from 3—110 fms. 



It occurs moreover at West-Greenland, at the east-coast 

 of Canada ^), in the Kara-Sea, and at Spitzbergen. Its vertical 

 distribution is from 3 — 150 fms. In a fossil state it occurs in 

 the newer glacial Yoldia-clay in the northern Denmark (Vend- 

 syssel) and in the southwestern Sweden (Bohuslän) (Comp. Jen- 

 sen 1. с. and the there given detailed record of the synonymy 

 of the species, together with the appendix in Vidensk. Medd. 

 Naturhist. Foren. Kbhvn. 1905, p. 149). 



The present species is to be distinguished from Tellina 

 moesta Desh. by the following features: the shell is more 

 convex, the posterior margin most frequently truncate, and the 

 shape therefore more angular; the outer surface shows no trace 

 of the radiating lines which characterize T. moesta. Moreover 

 it does not nearly obtain so considerable a size as that species; 

 the largest recent specimen, which I have seen, measures 14'5mm., 

 the largest fossil specimen (from Vendsyssel) i5"5 mm. — From 

 Tellina Torelli Steenstr. it may be distinguished by the fol- 

 lowing features: the postero-dorsal margin slopes less abruptly, 

 so that the inner dorsal margin forms a flat curve; and the palliai 

 sinus on the left valve stops at a greater distance from the 

 impression of the anterior adductor. 



This material belongs to the "Riks-Museum« in Stockholm, лгЬеге J have 

 examined it. 



According to VerriU & Bush (I.e.) it has also been taken oft" the east- 

 coast of the United States (40° 3'— 47° 40' N.) at depths from 57— 206 fms.
