For good descriptions of the genus Plicalula référence may be made to the works of 

 Sowerby. Fischer and Woodring. The génotype is Plicatula plicatus (Linn.) ^), as bas been 

 recently elucidated by Steward. There is some difficulty, however, as to what P. plicatus of 

 Linnaeus represents. Hanley ^) was of opinion that it is the same as P. imbricata as figured 

 in Sowerby's Thés. Conch., I, pi. XCI, figs. 14, 15, but Gualtieri's figure cited by Linnaeus 

 is certainly not of that species ; it is probably P. mtiricata Sowerby. 



The anatomy of Plicatula has been recently worked out by Watson ^), and I follow bis 

 suggestion in placing Plicatula in a distinct Subfamily, Plicatulinae, equal in rank to Amusiinae, 

 Pectininae, and Spondylinae of the family Pectinidae.
