Tab. N°. This Shell is well figured, it is fiat and fhallow for the Bignefs, of a yellowifh pale Colour. 
289. 125. Xhe lifts are fmall and very regular, and not much extant but flat, fo it is, as it were, fmooth. 
Here alfo is a fmall lunar Sinus near the Nib. Ab Infula Jamaica. 
293, 129. This Shell is white infide, outfide : probably brown when the Animal is in it, and that itis 
frefii'. The Lifl:s are are fo very fmall and many, that the Defign hath fcarce figured the one 
half of them. It hath a remarkable lunar Sinus on the one Side of the Nib j it is a thick 
and flirong Shell. This is found on the Englifti Coafl:. 
294. 130. This Shell is very thick and ihallow, the Edges fmcoth, the circular Wrinkles are very 
numerous, fmall, and not very rifing ; it is ftaincd with a brown hair Colour, and in fome 
Places with that Colour indented or waved. The Figure of the Head or Point is very odd 
and fiattifli. It is a rare Cockle ; I never faw but two Pair of them. 
297. 134. This Shell was taken up on the Coaft of Norway. The Lifl:s are fine andfmall and pretty 
regular, but fiiarp and rough, it is moderately llrong for the Bignefs and not very ftiallow 1 
It is white Infide, Outfide. The lunar Sinus near the Nib is not to be obferved in this 
Shell.

303. 144. This Shell is thin comparatively to thofe hke it in this and the othcr Tribes of Pe5lmculL. 
It is prettily veined with a purplifli Colour, in others brown, it is fafciated, but neither re- 
gularly nor very high and confpicuous ; the Ridges of the Shell are fmooth and not indented,. 
which does fufficiently diftinguifli it from the other in this Tribe. Ind. Occident. 
304. 145. Ab India Occidentah. 
This is a very thick and ftrong Shell and ftiallow, it is irregularly fafciated, there are of 
them alfo fome lefs, of a diff^crent Species, that are in fome Parts irregularly ftriated alfo : 
It is marbled with a yellowifli brown Colour, in fome prettily veined a httle purpHfli ; thc 
Edges on their Infide are quite round about to the very Hinges finely indented or rather 
hatched.

336. 172. The fmall ones of this Kind are very beautiful, yellowifti, with dark brown Spots running 
in an undulated Manner from Side to Side. 
There are SheUs alfo of this Kind very much bigger than that which is reprefented. Yct 
all are rare.

354. 191. Inter Concharum genera omnia, quas nobis videre contigit hucufque, & alii recentiores 
defcripferunt, nullam confpeximus majorem hac a nobis nunc depida : quare Maxim^ cog- 
nomen meruit, & ob teftze crafiltiem, gravitatem atque duritiem, Marmoream denominavi- 
mus. Illuftri nota ab aliis fecernitur, quia Septenis tantum a Cervice ad Os dudis dittinguitur 
magnis ftriis, totidemque ftrigibus inter fe magnitudinc paribus, alternatim ad invicem op- 
poficis, cum occkiditur tefta. Figura Conchae oblonga, per obHquum Cervicis, ab uno latere 
longiore. Clavicula magna cervici adeft elata, atque altera exigua admodum circa extremum 
Conchas, parte breviore, canaHculis ilHs fubjacentibus, quibus alterius Conchje, vel Teftae 
pars claviculse refpondentes conne£luntur. Contraria vero majoris Claviculse parte feptem 
confpiciuntur incifurje Scalarum ritu decrefcentes, quse pars circa cervicem fe dilatans recli- 
nat ; atque auris modo qus pedlini eft, non cxerta, fed infra Conchse craflitudinem produ- 
citur. Linea locus, quem Animal occupat Conchie internus, ac magis pallens definiri videtur; 
colore deinceps per ambitum circa ora candicante, Marmoris poHti modo, fplendido. Externa 
Conchas parte Striarum additamcntis cra/fis tota exafpera redditur, quibus tegularum et im- 
bricum modo, alia fuper aliis fuperaddita videntur ; quapropter imbricata dici merito poteft. 
Striges vero lin^is tantum exafperantur denfioribus, finuofis, oblique decurrentibus ab altero 
ad alterum Conehas extremum ; magnitudine et finubus imparibus juxta ftriarum & ftrigium 
magnitudinem atque craflitiem •, at circa ora quidem finu et circulo pollicari ampHtudinc 
undofae confpiciuntur, circa cervicem vero minimse admodum. Ab ea parte, duas uncias 
craQtie fuperat Concha, circa ora in tenuitatem abit. 
356. 193. The Mufcle in the firft Place is large for the Kind, the Strias arc big, rifing, and a little 
undulated, and towards the broad End of the Shell are doubleor branched. This ispurplifli, 
at leaft in Places on the Outfide, the reft white and mother of pearl Colour. 
356. 195. This Mufcle is fmooth and fome of them are twice as bigas it is figured ; the Colour of the 
Outfide in fome is reddifli, and white within, but thefe I judge are decayed, and thefe are 
moftly pretty firong and thick : but thole of a Freflmefs are on the Outfide of a brown hair 
Colour, and of a purplifli red within. Thefe come from Jamaica.
