the l)calc ridges arc sharp, and the deltidiiun divided in the middle ; a few fragments 
of the surface of the shell show distinctly a fine uncciual granulation. As regards 
shape the specimen perfectly rescmhles the form figured hy Schloenhach in Sitzgsh.

The principal layers of Kinxjena lima in Europe arc the upper and middle cre- 
taceous beds, Chalk and Upper Greensand (Obercr and E^ntcrer Plsencr of German 
Geologists; Senonicn, Turonicn and Cenomanien of U’ Orbigny). Schlocnbach says 
that it is very abundant in the Tourtia (zone of TrUjonia sulcatariaj of Northern 
Germany, and in a great many other Cenomanien localities. It is also common in 
the Maastricht beds, in tbc upper cretaceous beds near Lemberg, (Galizia), Ac. The 
same author is also of opinion that the Texas species. Ter. IP acoensis, Romer, is 
probably identical with K. lima. 
Prom the Gault at Eolkstone, Ac., there are fewer specimens known, but they 
arc, according to Davidson, not distinguishable from the upper cretaceous type, 
although Deslongchamps attempted to separate several species according to 
different geological horizons.

The regular almost round form and groat convexity of the valves, with a fine 
equal, but not very dense spinulose granulation on the surface, are very prominent 
characters, Avhich distinguish the present species from the others knowir of the genus. 
The luemal valve is slightly less convex than the neural one, and has a short 
septum perceptible in about -^rd the length of the valve. The foramen is large and 
somewhat transversely dilated. The beak ridges are very sharp, and enclose on 
cither side a rather flattened, nearly smooth, aiid narrow area. The dcltidium is in 
two pieces, very short, forming a A'ery small suture in the middle, but it is much 
Atider than in any known specimens of Kingena lima, from AAhich it also differs 
by ihc shortness of the septum and the large foramen, Ac. 
Localily. — North-west of Goody caud, in a pinkish limestone; only the figured 
specimen has been obtained.
