234 ANOMIA. JNOMIJ. Class VI. 



The fossil species of the Anomia genus are 

 uncommonly numerous in this island, in our 

 chalk-pits and limestone-quarries; but are fo- 

 reign to the work in hand. The reader who 

 wishes to be acquainted with their appearance, 

 may satisfy himself, by consulting Lister's His- 

 tory of Shells, appendix to the 3d book, tab. 

 447, &c. and Hist. an. Angl. tab. viii. and ix. 

 Plot's Hist. Oxfordshire, tab. iii. and his His- 

 tory of Staffordshire, tab. xi.
