SOLEN obliquus. 
TAB. DCXLI.— -fig. 2. 
Spec. Char. Nearly five times as wide as long, 
straight, slightly convex, posteriorly flattened, 
strongly marked with lines of growth ; an- 
terior portion separated by a deep oblique 
furrow, which is distant from the very ob- 
liquely truncated margin ; posterior extremity 
square. 
Syn. Solen obliquus, Dixon , Geol. Suss . ined.

A shell well-distinguished by its obliquely truncated an- 
terior extremity and the furrow parallel to it. The lines 
of growth are strongly marked, the edges of the laminae 
being often imbricate ; there are also a few obscure oblique 
radiating striae on the surface. 
Discovered at Bracklesham Bay by Mr. F. Dixon and 
Mr. F. E. Edwards, who have kindly favoured me with 
specimens; it was abundant in one spot. 
Fig. 2. b. represents an end view of the shell.
