Hab.—I Collect. Prime. The shell is transversely-oval, somewhat compressed, and nearly equilateral. The anterior side is subangnlar, and the posterior is subtruncated. The epidermis is yellowish-green and polished, and has markings of dark violet on the beaks. The beaks are small and somewhat raised. The interior of the valves is dark purplish violet. The hinge is narrow. The lunula is distinct, and of a lighter color than the rest of the shell. Comparing it with Cork, occidens from India, with which it is closely allied, we find that the beaks are smaller, and that the hinge is slighter ; the main difference, however, consists in the fact, that in Corb. mediocris the anterior side is distended and angular, whereas in Corb. occidens it is rounded. 48.
