“KELLIA SIMULANS.
(Pl. III., fig. 1.)
Shell small, inequilateral, roundly ovate, rather swollen, subpellucid, whitish, glossy, sculptured with fine striæ of growth and a few rather inconspicuous radiating striæ, chiefly down the middle of the valves and near the ventral margin; anterior end more sharply curved and narrower than the posterior, lower outline very gently arcuate; umbones antemedian, curved over to the hinge-line, rather obtuse at the apex; interior of valves faintly waved in the direction of the lines of growth, glossy; hinge composed of two small cardinal teeth beneath the umbo in the left valve and one in the right, also a long posterior lateral in each valve; a very slender ligament is attached to the margin of the valves behind the umbones; the internal ligament has apparently dropped off.
Length, 6 millim.; altitude, 5; diam., 3.5.
Hut Point, Oct. 25, 1902.
One specimen only. Differing in form from Kellia magellanica, Smith. Also somewhat resembling the British K. suborbicularis, Montagu, yet different in shape, and having a more delicate hinge.”
(Smith, 1907: 2-3)
