DERBYA NASUTA n. sp. (p. 182).

FIGS. 6 to 6c.

An imperfect specimen with both valves in position.

6.

Posterior view.

6a.

Side view.

6b.

Ventral view.

6c.

View of the interior from the front backward. Above is the ventral valve with its median septum; below, the dorsal valve with its hinge plate and cardinal process. The cardinal process is deeply divided, the septum of the ventral valve passing between the two forks. The cardinal process in this case is a little asymmetrical, and this feature is enhanced in the drawing by the view being taken slightly to one side. Upon the left the tooth and socket are shown, partly concealed by portions of the hinge plate which project before and above them.
