Spec. Char. Testa transvervd, ovato-oblongd, sitbaquilaterali, tenui ; concentrice 

 striata ; antice rotundatd ; postice truncata, angidatd, striata et decussatd ; margine 

 ventrali convexiuscido ; sinu pattiari mac/no. 



Shell transverse, ovately oblong, nearly equilateral, thin ; concentrically striated ; 

 anterior side rounded ; posterior truncated, and decussated upon the posterior slope ; 

 ventral margin slightly curved ; palleal sinus large. 



Length, 1-| inch. Height, -|ths of an inch. 



Localitg. Cor. Crag, Gedgrave, Sutton, and Ramsholt. 



Recent, Britain, Mediterranean, Finmark. 



This elegant shell, in its full-grown state, is rare ; but small specimens and frag- 

 ments are by no means scarce. I have assigned it, without a doubt, to the existing 

 species, although some of my fossils appear rather more transverse, or have a some- 

 what greater length comparatively than the recent shell. My Crag specimens are 

 particularly thin and fragile, with scarcely a trace of any muscular impression. In 

 some of the young specimens the radiating strke upon the angular slope of the pos- 

 terior side are strongly marked with decussating lines. 



This is said to have been found fossil in the Drift beds of Lancashire and Ireland.
