Y., Vol. YIII., Pt. I., p. 209.) Shell almost circular in outline; both valves convex, brach- ial valve more so than the pedicle valve. Hinge area nai-row and short on the brachial valve, higher on the pedicle valve. A slight median depression in each valve. Surface covered with fine, rounded, hollow, tubular strice, which frequently open upon the surface. On the interior of the pedicle valve appear two strong diverging teeth. ^luscular area large, and deeply impressed, consisting of the large fluted diductor impressions, enclosing the small central adductors. The pedi- cle scar fills the cavity of the beak. Outside of the muscular area are commonly deeply-pitted ovarian markings. The' interior of the brachial valve shows deep and narrow dental sockets, with prominent projecting crural plates. In the center is a strong cardinal process, below which is the indis- tinct small muscular area. Rhipidomella vanuxemi. Hall. (Fig. *)1.) ( Pal. N. Y., Vol. IV., p. 47, PI. yi.).
