Shell minute, subcircular, flattened; beak acute; area narrow, 

 long; a faint sinus usually occupies the middle of the lower por- 

 tion of the upper valve; foramen large, acute above, and rounded 

 or subangular in the upper valve. Surface, under a lens, presents

Locality and position: From the Post-Pliocene marl at Santa Barbara; collected 

 by Dr. A. L. Heermann. This shell seemed to be abundant in the marl collected 

 by Dr. Heermann ; but I have never seen it among the shells collected by the Sur- 

 vey in that vicinity or elsewhere, and failed to find it myself, on subsequently 

 visiting the locality.
