Vulva, a mark in several bivalve shells ; formed when the valves are united on the posterior and anterior slopes.
Seite 180 - Lanceolate, oblong, and gradually tapering like the head of a lance. Lateral, extending to one side from the centre. Latticed, having longitudinal lines or furrows, decussate by transverse ones. Lenticulate, doubly convex, of the form of a lens. Ligament, a solid body, softer than a cartilage, but harder than a membrane, which connects the valves in bivalves. Limb, the margin of bivalve shells. Linear, composed of lines.

To each class we have assigned its various families, to each family its genera, and to each genus its living species, thereby...
Seite 79 - Shell subequivalve, rotundate, nearly square, externally squamose; the inferior cardinal margin straight, not caudate anteriorly; a sinus at the posterior base of the valves, for the passage of the byssus; the left valve being at this place narrow and channelled; hinge linear, without teeth.
