Bivalve shell (Lamelliconcha circinata)

Venus guineensis was included in the Supplement to Testacea Britannica (1808, p. 48) on the basis of a shell from Scotland collected by Laskey. The shell in RAMM is labelled as from Weymouth and is probably the shell mentioned on page 168 where Montagu noted a small shell from the Bryeran cabinet collected from Weymouth. This species comes from the West Indies.
