IsOCARDIID^. 
Isocardia cor (L.). Very young individuals have not the fine bristly epi- 
dermis of the old ones, and swarm on the surface of the mud in deep water, 
while the adults bury themselves in it j they have been described by former 
naturalists as distinct species and even genera, namely Kellia ahyssicola 
(Forbes), Venus miliaris (Philippi), and Kelliella (Sars). Jeffreys, Ann. N. 
H. (4) V. p. 441. 
Sabs describes his new genus Kelliella fully, and persists in thinking 
it distinct, and enumerates as differences from Isocardia the want of the 
brown ciliated epidermis, the glossy surface of the shell, the smaller and less 
prominent umbones, the well-defined and not sunken lunula, the ligament 
being internal, and the teeth of the hinge lying in one line, the want of any 
lateral teeth, the presence of some tentacles at the hinder part of the mantle, 
the presence of only one siphonal opening, the small palpi, and the unequal 
size of the gills. Bidr. Christ. Faun. pp. 89-97, pi. 12. figs. 11-15, and
