13. Tellina jubar (pl.lxiii. i.'XY^.) Hartley, Zool.Proc.1844. 

 T. virgata, var. Wood, Gen. Cone t. 36. f. 2. Enc. Meth. t. 288. 

 f. 4. (bad). 



T. testa specie priore magis triangularis altiore, minus elongata ; 

 rubro-purpurea, radiis albis aut albidis ornata ; margine ventrali 

 subarcuato ; dorsali utrinque decliviore ; superficie interna albida, 

 aut coloribus externis fucata. 



Extremely like Virgata, but more triangular and less elongated, 

 the dorsal slopes being more sudden; the ventral edge is more convex, 

 and less straight in the middle ; the external colouring of broader 

 and narrower white rays on a dull rosy or reddish ground, is fre- 

 quently visible on the otherwise white surface of the interior. 



Mus. Ciuning. 



The ligamental margin inclines to convexity, which is the reverse 

 of what we meet with in Virgata and Marginal is. 



14. Tellina marginalis (pi. lxiii. f. 216.) Dilw. Des. Cat. 

 p. 74; Chem. f. 68, (tolerable). 



T. testa, Virgatae et Jubaris maxime assimdi, altiore autem, 

 magisque rotundata, ; margine ventrali plane arcuato, postice sursum 

 acclivi ; dorsali utrinque leviter declivi ; superncie externa albida, 

 radiis rubescentibus ornata. 



Closely allied to the two preceding, but less oblong than either ; 

 the ventral edge much more arcuated, and ascending abruptly on 

 the posterior side ; the ligamental edge sloping, but slightly and 

 somewhat eoncavely ; the colouring whitish, with pale rosy-red or 

 deep flesh-coloured rays ; interior nearly white.
