of German or Dutch origin, and akin to E. scale of a fish;

scollop.]
1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of numerous species of marine bivalve
mollusks of the genus Pecten and allied genera of the
family

ribbed, and the edge is therefore often undulated in a
characteristic manner. The large adductor muscle of some
the species is much used as food. One species (
Vola Jacob[ae]us
) occurs on the coast of Palestine, and its
shell was formerly worn by pilgrims as a mark that they
had been to the Holy Land. Called also
fan shell. See
Pecten, 2.

Pecten irradians; the large sea scallop, also used
as food, is
Pecten Clintonius syn.
Pecten tenuicostatus
