Spec. Char. Qbovate, depressed, smooth, with 
a small sinus on the anterior margin ; beak 
rather prominent 
Syn. Tellina bimaculata, j Brander, f. 102. 
Not quite equilateral, the posterior side is longest* 
and also most regularly rounded ; the marginal fold 
forms a slight siuus ; it differs from the recent T. bima- 
eulata in the form of the anterior side, which is rounded* 
not truncated, and in several particulars observable on 
comparison. 
As I hare only met with a single valve of this shell* 
I suppose it is rare. The Rev. G. Cooke, kindly sent it 
from Barton. 
TELLINA hlosa. 
TAB. CCCCII — y%. 2. 
Spec. Char. Obovate, depressed, transversely 
striated; anterior side angular; posterior, 
rounded ; striae elevated, acute, numerous, 
enlarged anteriorly. 
\ 
A slender Tellen covered with concentric striae re- 
sembling very fine threads; the marginal fold forms & 
slight elevation that ascends to the beak, and as the 
striae pass over this elevation, they are thickened, curved, 
and compressed ; there is a slight truncation of the edge 
near the fold, hut no sinus. This appears to be a 
species between T. patellaris, and scalaroides of Lamarck, 
Found in the sandy Clay at Barton, by the Rev. T. 
Cooke, by no means common.
