VENERICARDIA. 

 Sowerbys Conch. No. 9, tab. 50 

 La March, had only seen one recent species of this 

 genus, which he describes as greatly resembling the 

 G. Venus, but having only two oblique cardinal teeth 

 on each valve. Shell equivalve, inequilateral, subor- 

 bicular, the sides most frequently with rayed longitu- 

 dinal ribs, two oblique primary teeth turned in the 

 same direction. 

 Vcuericardium austral is. [And ten fossil species.]
