Localities—The shell figured by Davidson and one other doubtful valve are 
the only specimens I have found at Lummaton; but there are two more in the 
Woodwardian Museum from Lummaton collected by Mr. EH. B. Tawney, and also 
two in the Torquay Museum which, from the character of their matrix, must, I 
think, have come from the same place. From Wolborough there is one specimen 
in the Museum of Practical Geology, one in my Collection, and three in the British 
Museum, including the originals of Phillips’s fig. 127 and Davidson’s pl. v, fig. 5.

Remarks.—Davidson quotes this species from Newton Abbot; and, as there is 
a poor specimen in the Museum of Practical Geology from Wolborough which 
belongs either to this species or to Sp. speciosa, I think it must have been the speci- 
men which he described as above. Its hinge is unseen, its sinus extremely wide 
and concave, its ribs high and subangular, and its cardinal angles probably sharp.
