T. testa parva, ovata, insequilaterali, tenuiuscula, convexa, niti- 

 da, intus extusque aurantio-rosea, laevigata ; margine ventrali 

 antice arcuato, postice sursum acclivi; dorsali antice magis mi- 

 nusve convexo satisque declivi ; latere antico producto, ad extre- 

 mitatem obtuse rotundato ; postico acuminate- ; natibus acutis ; 

 ligamento vix prominulo ; costa umbonali fere et flexura ventrali 

 omnino obsoletis ; dente laterali parvo, approxiraato. 



Small, ovate, inequilateral, thinnisli, tolerably convex, both ex- 

 ternally and internally of a rosy-orange, nearly smooth, in young 

 specimens there are indications of concentric striae near the arcu- 

 ated front of the ventral edge, which latter ascending posteriorly 

 in nearly a straight line, acuminates the short anterior side at its 

 junction with the straight and much sloping ligamental margin ; 

 front dorsal edge always convex and not greatly sloping, extremity 

 obtusely rounded; bgament scarcely prominent; ventral flexure 

 entirely obsolete, umbonal ridge nearly so ; beaks acute ; lateral 

 tooth small, approximate.
