T. ostracea.
_T. radiata._ The radiated Tellen. Pl. 8, fig. 5.
Shell elongated; posterior side shorter and more narrow than the
anterior.
_T. foliacea._ The foliaceous Tellen.
Species transversely oblong; upon the edge of the front side of either
valve are rows of serrated teeth, running from the apex to the margin.
_T. bimaculata._ The double-spotted Tellen.
Species orbicular, easily known by answering to its common name.
_T. fabula._ The false Tellen.
Shell very thin, pellucid, and oval; yellowish colour, darker towards
the umbo, which is nearly central, pointed and turned a little to one
side; anterior side slopes to an obtuse point; posterior side large and
rounded; hinge with three teeth in one valve and two in the other.
_T. scobinata._ The rasp Tellen.
Species oval or sub-orbicular, sub-equilateral.
_T. donacina._ The Donax-like Tellen. Pl. 9, fig. 5.
Sub-oval, flattish, semi-striated and semipellucid; hinge with two teeth
in one valve and one in the other; pale yellow, radiated longitudinally
with pink.
_T. depressa._ The depressed Tellen.
Oval, flat, pointed at the smaller end and slightly reflected; pale
yellowish colour, faintly striated concentrically; covered with a pale
brown epidermis.
5. Tellinides. One species.
Though this genus bears a great affinity to many others, it cannot be
united with any; having lateral teeth, it differs from the Psammobia; by
not having the valves twisted, it differs from the Tellina; the valves
closing, and having muscular impressions in the interior, render it
distinct from the Lucina.
Shell equilateral, rather elongated, almost without the flexuous plait;
two cardinal teeth diverging, and two remote lateral teeth, of which the
anterior is but little distant from the summit.
_T. Timorensis._ The Tellinides of Timor. Pl. 8, fig. 3.
The only type and species of this genus.
6. Corbis. One species.
This genus was at first classed by Lamarck with the Lucina; but Cuvier,
having discovered that the organization of the animals differed, made
this a distinct genus, which was adopted by Lamarck.
