. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Fig. 14. a, Chlamys fultoni Sow. sculpture on left and right valves, with sections, b, C. tinctus (Rve.) juvenile 1-5 mm. alt. c, C. bullatus D. & B. sculpture of unworn (left) and worn (right) ribs, with sections, d, C. natalensis Smith sculpture. e,f, g, Cyclopecten vidalensis , portion of interior and exterior, with external sculpture further enlarged. The extremely fine striae on earliest part of shell (exterior) not shown. The present material comprises: one large complete shell, 28 mm. alt., without squamulae in either valve; this is the only example in which the squamulae are absent from the left valve. 6 complete shells with squamulae on the left, none on the right valve; 28 left valves all with squamulae; 20 right valves without squamulae; 12 right valves with squamulae, sometimes present only in the lateral grooves. Most of the right valves with squamulae are from off Morewood Cove, where there appears to be a colony with this somewhat unusual character (12 in 20 = 60%). This species probably does not live far beyond the southern limit of Natal; the Port St. John's specimen is badly worn. Chlamys bullatus D. & B. Fig. 14 c Pecten {Chlamys) bullatus Dautzenberg & Bavay, 1912, p. 17, pi. 27, figs. 1, 2 (poor). Subcircular but slightly oblique, both valves convex. Ribs 17-18, each with 2 rows of squamae which fuse, forming 2 alternating series of vesicles;.
