Tellina carnicolor, Hanley, 40, i, 7 {Tellina corhis, Sowerby, 40,6,7. Tellina strangei,Deshayes, 12, c.) Ill, X.The types of T. corhis and T. strangei being in the British Museum collection I have carefullycompared them with Hanley's species and I fail to discern even varietal differences. The "moreequilateral" form in T. corhis spoken of by Sowerby is so very slight as to be scarcely appreciableand may be regarded merely as an individual variation. Tellina iessellaia, Deshayes from MoretonBay {= T. tenuistriata, Sowerby, Con. Icon. fig. 128) is also closely allied but is somewhat diflerentlysculptured. T. tenuistriata is described as " orange " in colour, but the figure is purplishbrown in the copy of the work at hand. In reality it ia of a pale fleshy tint and orange alongthe dorsal margins, with some opaque white markings radiating from the umbones.379. Tellina verrucosa, Hanley, 40, «, A'777.
