Desc. Shell with very numerous, elevated somewhat scaly ra- 
diating lines, alternately smaller, increasing in number according 
to the growth of the shell to upwards of an hundred ; intervals re- 
ticulated ; ears unequal, beneath the emarginated one are five or 
six little teeth ; valves not very unequal, of a reddish or orange 
color, with many concentric or darker bands and about three paler 
radii ) on the flatter valve the colors are much paler ; edge jagged 
with the produced elevated lines ; within the convex valve is a 
large purplish spot, sometimes occupying a considerable portion of 
the surface. 
Ohs. Several fine specimens were sent to me a few years since 
by Dr. Harris, who obtained them from Dr. Bass of Boston ; they 
were taken by fishermen in Chaleur’s bay, New Brunswick. Dr. 
Storer has not yet found it near Boston. 
Mr. T. Peale presented a specimen, which he found on the coast 
of Maine. According to Dillwyn it has been found on the coast 
of Scotland, and Banks procured one from the stomach of cod fish 
on the banks of Newfoundland. The late Mr. S. Coates of Phila- 
delphia had an individual in his collection, which was drawn up 
on the lead by Capt. Cofl&n, in fifty-two fathoms water, on the 
eastern edge of the banks of Newfoundland in latitude 45 deg. 
40 min. Linne obtained it at West Grothland, and Olafisen in 
Iceland. 
It varies much in depth of coloring, and one in my collection 
has the convex valve dark purplish both within and without, des- 
titute of bands, and the opposite valve is tinted with purplish 
within on the upper half. Mr. Peale’s specimen is more of an 
uniform dull orange both within and without, and with but little 
appearance of bands. PI. 56, fig. la.

Ohs. The specimen represented in the annexed plate I obtained 
on the coast of South Carolina, where it is rare. I do not know
