 1 c. The dorsal valve of a large specimen, having four ribs in the mesial sinus, and ten on each side. 

 1 d. The interior of the dorsal valve, showing the form of the muscular impression, and tlie papillose surface

2 a. Ventral view of a specimen having the cardinal extremities somewhat contracted, and the dorsal area 



very wide and fully exposed. 



2 b. Profile view of the same. 



2 c. A specimen witli the dorsal extremities more extended, and the area broad. 



2 d. An individual much extended in width, having tlie cardinal extremities rounded and the area almost 

 closed. 2 e. A similar specimen, larger than the last. 



2 /. A specimen with the hinge-line very much contracted and the angles rounded, with the area nearly 

 closed. 



2/ f. A portion of the surface enlarged, showing the character of the striae. 



2 g-. A specimen whicli has apparently suffered no pressure. The beaks are approximate, the dorsal one 

 much curved, and the area nearly closed. The cardinal extremities are rounded, and the whole con- 

 tour of the shell very round. 2 h. Profile view of the last. 



2 i. Front view of the same, showing the elevation of the mesial lobe. 



2 k. Ventral view of a larger specimen with the cardinal extremities rounded, the beak much elevated arid 

 incurved, and the area very small. 2 I. Profile view of the last. 



2 m. Dor.sal view of the same. 2 n. Front view of tlie same. 



2 0. Dorsal view of a larger specimen, having the extremities rounded, and the beak much elevated and in- 

 curved. 



2 p. Ventral view of the same, showing the area nearly closed. 



2 r. Cardinal view of the same shell. 



2 s. Dorsal view of a specimen with the shell partially exfoliated, showing the direction of the dental plates.
