Description Valves, seen laterally, nearly oblong, higher in front and narrowing posteriorly. Height a little more than half the length. Anterior border broad, rounded, and with a deep sulcus behind. Surface of valves rising prominently towards the middle and ventral side; the highest point in the postventral area terminating with a short, sharp spine. Dorsal margin straight, with a sudden sinuous turn to the posterior angle. Ventral margin sinuous, and curving round to meet the posterior acumination. Surface of valves finely sculptured with a polygonal network, the areole tending to run into straight lines parallel with the dorsal and ventral borders. Hdge view subovate, compressed anteriorly. Length 7 mm.; height 375 mm.; thickness of carapace 34 mm. This species is distinct from C. dictyon, which it most resembles, in having a rounded ridge-swelling on the ventral margin instead of a sharp, angulated ridge, as well as in the finer sculpturing of the valve surface. This species is named in honor of my friend Mr. G. Sweet, who ably assisted Professor David in the work of boring in the Funafuti Atoll. [details]
