1NOCERAMUS mytiloides. 
TAB. CCCCXLII. 
Spec. Char. Equalvalved, elongated, de- 
pressed, with slight, irregular waves ; con- 
vex and obtuse towards the beaks, hinge 
line oblique ; anterior side produced ; beaks 
short. 
Syn. Inoceramus raytilloides, Mantell p . 215. 
t . 28./. 2. 
A smooth, slightly waved surface, elongated form, and 
brownish pink colour, constantly distinguish this species ; 
the beak end is remarkably blunt, although the beaks 
themselves terminate in a sharp point. 
Peculiar to the lower Chalk ; it occurs in Wiltshire, 
Sussex, &c. This is the species Miss Benett has been 
successful in clearing the hinges of, after the suggestion 
of Mr. Sowerby, as mentioned in the Linnean Society’s 
Transactions. The large figure is from a specimen in 
Miss Benett’s Cabinet.
