Cyprina Meteui, sp. nor. Plate LXII, figs. 2, 3. 



[Omitted from Vol. II, p. 141.] 



Description. — Shell convex, oval, considerably inequilateral ; anterior margin 

 rounded, passing gradually into the slightly curved ventral margin ; posterior 

 margin truncated; postero-dorsal margin convex. Umbones prominent, curved 

 inwards and forwards, with a rounded carina extending to the postero-ventral 

 angle, and limiting a flattened postero-dorsal region. Lunular region depressed. 

 Escutcheon long, deep, limited by a sharp carina. Ornamentation consists of con- 

 centric growth-rings. Length, 56 mm. ; height, 42 mm. 



Affinities. — This species shows some resemblance to 0. bemensis (Leymerie), 1 

 but is less elongate and much less convex. 



Type. — -In the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge (C. J. A. Meyer collection). 



Distribution. — Lower Greensand (Perm-bed), of Sandown.

Fauna S. India, vol. iii, p. 123. 



Description. — Shell triangular, moderately convex, with flattened sides, nearly 

 equilateral. Anterior margin rounded ; ventral margin slightly curved ; postero- 

 dorsal margin slightly convex, forming a rounded angle with the ventral margin. 

 Umbones prominent, sharp, slightly curved. Lunular region depressed. Escut- 

 cheon long, limited by a rounded carina extending from the umbones to the postero- 

 ventral extremity. Ornamentation consists of numerous strong concentric ribs, 

 separated by narrow grooves. Length, 25 mm. ; height, 1 7 mm. 



Affinities. — This species shows some resemblance to C. cuneata, Sowerby, but 

 the shell is much more compressed, and possesses distinct concentric ribs. I am 

 not able to determine whether a postero-lateral tooth was present or not.
