A slight squareness appears to characterise the fossil 
specimens, which are also rather longer than the recent 
shells, but the difference is so small that Mr. Wood con- 
siders them the same species ; I have therefore given the 
synonyms of the recent as well as of the fossil shell. The 
Amphidesma physoides of Lamarck is an Australian shell.
