- Direct tracing of an Amygdalea
[Tracing]
The lot of 2 with no locality has one
broken specimen. The remaining right valve
is the specimen figured by Reeve on Yoldia
pl [plate] 1 fig [figure] 3b. One of the 3 from Kamtschatka [Kamchatka]
is the basis for fig [figure] 3a. Both are referred
to as Yoldia amygdala (sic) Both these
lots are from Cumming. Coll. [Collection]

fig [figure] 6.
This figure is an excellent
+ readily recognizable one +
a perfect match for one of the
3 BM [British Museum] unnumbered specimens
from Kamtschatka [Kamchatka], which, with the
other 2, identical specimens (except
for darker color) all came from
the Cumming Collection. A check
of the route followed by the
Venus renders it most likely
that the specimens were acquired
at Kamtschatka [Kamchatka], as the usual mass
off soundings between Hawaii
+ there, except at (Petropavlovsk[underlined])
but figures of other specimens
taken revealed that collecting
was done ashore at Kamtschatka [Kamchatka].
