Recorded from Loch Maddy by McIntosh (1866), the Little Minch (Jeffreys, 1881b) and Loch Alsh (Winckworth, 1923, who later (Smith & Heppell, 1991) considered these specimens probably to be a variety of Abra alba). Also obtained from the Clyde by Marshall. All inshore records, unless fossil material, likely to be Abra alba. |
