Pholas obturamentum; an undescribed bivalve from Sydney harbour
Abstract
In the course of a critical examination of various Mollusca from Port Jackson, specimens of the only Pholas reported thence passed under review. This species has hitherto been accepted as P.. similis by all writers and collectors who have occupied themselves with the marine mollusca of our coast. This identification appears to have originated with G. F.
